That isn't enough for Jiricek, and not the time to be trading for vets with 4 year contracts. No to both.

It’s too bad KD didn’t cash in on Gauthier. With the plethora of D prospects and 2nd round picks Hawks could’ve and should’ve outbid Anaheim.

Same can be said for Jiricek. I don’t know if this is too much going back to CBJ or not. Still want to believe Reichel can turn things around. He’s only 21 and though it’s not technically his sophomore year, sophomore slumps are real. Look at Beniers and Sillinger.

Rust is well worth his contract, idk who they plan on getting in FA that would be better AND cheaper.

Also what happened to Reichel? He looked so promising last year and has done nothing this year. As of now, Columbus doesn't do that. I imagine they'd want a young but NHL established player if Jiricek does actually ask for a trade

He’s dissatisfied with CBJ right now and if he asks publicly for a trade leverage leans to Blackhawks.

If jiricek is going to Chicago it’s for a nazar level prospect. What would you trade korchinski for? That’s what jiricek would cost

I would add more to acquire Jiricek, but it's a tricky spot because it'll ultimately revert back to a quality vs quantity debate. Hard to get quality back when the player (in this hypothetical scenario) asks for a trade. So we send a different change of scenery player (obviously nuance to "change of scenery player") and a mid-1st, but they're going to want Korchinski...which of course CBJ would. CBJ would want Bedard for Jiricek, but neither of those are remotely realistic. Once your prospect asks for a trade...that value isn't the same. Now that value is what the highest bidder is willing to offer, not what you think it is.

Hawks won't be interested in Rust w/ 4 years left on his deal. Hawks want to have maximum cap flexibility in the summer of '26 when Bedard and Korchinski need new deals.

Hawks won't have interest in Rust due to the term left on his deal - 4 years. Hawks don't want any contracts with that sort of term. As far as free agents, Hawks probably target a guy like Tarasenko, Eberle or Marchessault. A guy who can play w/ Bedard who is willing to take more $$ on a shorter term deal.

This comment is delusional. Kyle Davidson's 1st ever pick is Kevin Korchinski and he immediately cheered because CBJ DIDN'T draft him saying "We got our guy, we did this (traded Debrincat) with the intention of drafting Kevin Korchinski in the 1st round." ~Kyle Davidson I'm not saying I have a crystal ball and know one of them will be a bust vs another HOFer, but the Hawks aren't trading Korchinski for Jiricek. That's delusional.

Who tf cares if Korchinski is Davidson's guy. That's the price that it would take for Jiricek to go to the Hawks.

I was commenting on the PIT side of it. OP said "saw a pens fan post this wanting to clear the cap space for a FA move. Doubt it happens but i'd do it". I don't see why Rust would be the guy to be moved if they want to win now and add in Free Agency

I don't care what people think "is" or "isn't" enough for Jiricek. I wouldn't pay more than the TBL pick. He has diminished in value from a draft that was already weak to begin with. And I don't care how crap of a season Reichel is having, his potential is still worth more than this and CHI should not be punting on him.

Fun to think about what adding Jiricek could look like in this rebuild, though.

If Korchinski asked out of Chicago (won't happen) I would accept a package of a Reichel level former 1st round pick prospect and a 1st around 20th overall. Maybe we disagree with what reichel is worth but if someone posted the equivalent of this for Korchinski I wouldn't feel like i'm getting spat on like CBJ fans do

Disclaimer: Not trying to have attitude, but just trying to explain the CBJ perspective as an exhausted fan, this isn't directed at you.

The difference is we are trying to compete on a quicker timeline than Chicago given the current roster makeup, and have a glaring need for 1RD. It doesn't make sense to trade the only person in the organization who could potentially fill that role unless we're getting someone back who can. The CBJ fandom ire is 100% directed at people ignoring both the fact that he hasn't requested a trade and that, regardless of actual value coming back, you don't fill the 1RD spot with a 17-year-old who won't be ready for a few years and a winger, for example.

We could trade Jiricek for 1OA and, like, Logan Cooley and it still doesn't fix the fact that we still need a Jiricek.

But for some reason, "Jiricek isn't available" or "we need a RD coming back" isn't good enough for anyone on here. End rant, thanks for listening haha

See, that's the thing. Philly doesn't want a "plethora" of defensive prospects. They'd ask for Korchinski or Vlasic -- that would be more of the equivalent value to Drysdale.

Without that, they wouldn't and couldn't outbid Anaheim.

Stop it. The #6 OA guy that wants out (this post assumes he does) vs the #7. Your delusional if you think KK is a reasonable ask.

That's absolutely true too. But CHI is not a team that should be paying this kind of price. Reichel is still a good prospect with a lot of potential who is only 21 years old, and the TBL first will still bring a very good player into the fold. We don't need a RD prospect like Jiricek right now, and there will be plenty of good promising RD in the late 1st through the early 3rd.

Plus, that was our pick to begin with which they absolutely fleeced us on, and I have no sympathy for them. There's our feelings and then there is reality. He is a good young player, but if they are looking to recoup and bring someone in who can help them now, I'm not in favor of CHI being the team to overpay just so they don't have to feel bad. That might be harsh. But I don't think we have any business being involved in any Jiricek discussions to begin with, and I doubt CBJ is considering moving him. That'd probably end up being the end of Jarmo's job.

The return was Drysdale and ANA 2025 2nd round pick (approx pick 35-40).

The Hawks have a plethora of LHD: Korchinski, Vlasic, Del Maestro, Allan, Crevier, Phillips. I imagine Korchinski and Vlasic aren’t touchable.

Drysdale is an NHL player. He has offensive ability and will put up 40 points a year if healthy routinely. A similar player would likely be Del Maestro. He played for Canada WJC U20 team twice, was an OHL AllStar and now AHL AllStar. Only problem is, he hasn’t played in the NHL. Drysdale has…for 4 years. Drysdale you know what you’re getting, Del Maestro you’re hoping to get what you think you’re getting. That said, Del Maestro likely is making the Hawks next year or it’ll be his call up/tweener season.

So, Del Maestro and the 2025 TML 1st round pick. You’re getting a little less (at the moment) player with high potential but picking about 10 spots higher than you are with Anaheim’s 2nd. And of course with Chicago’s plethora of picks and prospects, toss in a 2nd or 3rd from this year or next if you needed to sweeten the pot more.

Yeah I don't think Del Maestro is close as a comparable to Drysdale

I think it would have to be Korchinski+2nd or Vlasic+1st to make the swap

Not that he wants a trade but there are news reports he wasn’t happy with being sent down to AHL. Look man we’re all just spitballing ideas here and having fun fake trading players. It’s not that serious.

At the moment you’re right. In 3 years… 🤷🏻‍♂️ Del Maestro could be special. Thats the way the Hawks are portraying him at the moment. If the trade was Vlasic + CHI 2nd I’d stomach it. Hate to see Vlasic go but to get Gauthier and have someone like Nolan Allan fill the LD shutdown role would be a win. Hawks don’t have any high end offensive prospects other than Bedard and Reichel. Nazar and Moore are to be determined.

Vlasic is at least twice as good as Korchinski and Drysdale
