Jiricek

Jiricek is a super interesting idea for the Sabres
But i wonder if CBj would really move him?
We might have to give them an offer too good to refuse

That offer makes about as much sense for Columbus as them offering Werenski for Thompson

Just saw an interesting question on another site. Jiricek is unhappy in Columbus, not getting pp1 time, and not liking how Columbus is developing him (ie. Sending to ahl). The question is- if Buffalo has dahlin, what does the pp1 look like, and do you have to try to keep jiricek happy? The obvious thing would be to have both dahlin and jiricek on pp1, I guess. I got the sense that Columbus fans want cozens or power, no interest in mittelstadt. Fwiw, we are likely in a position where we could draft jiriceks brother this year.

Edit, scratch the last part, his brother sounds like more of a puck mover, missing the aggressive game of his older brother. Might not be a bad pick depending on what's on the board, strictly from a value perspective, higher end right shot d will have value regardless if we wanna trade him. I'm ready to go a different way though.

Well the Sabres certainly wouldn’t give up Power or Cozens
Probably not even Mitts

Idc what the CBj FANS on here would want,
I care about what a deal in real life might look like

As far as having to appease Jiricek, idk why to think about that?
Our PP hasn’t been good at all, so it wouldn’t hurt to at least try him out on the 1st unit & see how it goes

Let’s say, that for whatever reason it doesn’t work out
He still young with a TON of talent- & trade value
So i bet we could move him for a more defensively oriented guy- Carlo? Schneider? Etc, etc….

I didnt read PP1 I read he got little PP time at all and then was demoted
