Make his mark by getting fired after one trade maybe?

Jiricek isn't getting moved. If he was, you're looking at Cozens, Power or Benson+

Makes no sense to trade for and sign Hanifin, trade for Jiricek and Borgen and also draft Levshunov. You'd have too many top 4 D men and not enough ice-time nor cap to pay them. We don't need or want Hanifin and Jiricek won't be moved. Borgen would be a great add but would cost more than Krebs and a 3rd imo



That's ridiculous. Man hasn't done anything in the NHL he's not worth that much lol. But agree Columbus shouldn't move him

Mitts for Jiricek is not entirely unreasonable, except that Columbus no longer needs a top six Center badly enough to give up a player like Jiricek to get him. Unfortunately what they do need is a player like Jiricek, so he’s probably not going to be available. Bringing Borgen back here is a good idea, but he’s also going to be a free agent in a year.

Agree with Absolutely ALL of this
Great post

Love it all except Hanifan. I'd prefer a solid right d. Montour or Roy signed ufa long term. Sammie tradeable for another piece with Johnson developing and Novikov ready for next step
