No.
For Jiricek? Hell no.
Hell to the no
Save you a click (actually 5 clicks):
The trade: The Blue Jackets acquire Askarov. The Predators acquire David Jiricek.
Why do people think Jiricek is getting moved?
Waddell
1) bought out Boqvist so he had a spot next season
2) promoted the guy from Cleveland he had the best relationship with
3) said “I want Jiricek to get playing time”
But apparently he’s still up for grabs I guess
We should offer sheet him – we have all this cap space now
In reality, Askarov is not going to get traded for that much.
On any other day, I’d ask why writers are so hellbent on thinking that Columbus is inept and willing to take any trade for the hell of it, not matter how lopsided. However, considering the return for Laine…
No. Tired of being the dumping ground for NHL head cases.
The article literally says “Columbus swung a deal on Monday that sent Patrik Laine and a second-round pick to the Canadiens that netted them defenseman Jordan Harris. Could this result in the organization moving a former top-10 pick in Jiricek?”
Harris is a lefty and a 3rd pairing defenseman that can punch up to the 4D. Almost the polar opposite of Jiricek’s purpose to our team.
I know the offseason is slow around this time of year but I can’t even call this sports journalism. Askarov doesn’t fit with our team and we don’t need more diva goalies
I don’t think I’d do this, but it’s interesting. He’s such a good prospect, unlike anything the Jackets have at goal. I’d throw in a lottery-protected first to a third team to take Elvis.
Trading a top 6 pick Dman who is coming fulltime into this league right now after we made room for them by locking up a retention spot for a goalie…
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
Oh wait you are serious…let me laugh harder
HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Not for that trade, but get Askarov on this team.
Absolutely not. And I am a strong proponent for looking hard at Askarov.
