Everyone in the league wants Jiricek so badly. It's literally half the ACGMs on here today. He's still untouchable, but now also angry. He's not getting dealt.

Doesn't everyone want to play? Vincent doesn't sound like he's pissed ar Jiricek for his comments. I'm not a Jackets fan, but I don't think he gets dealt.

Yes, you're right, everyone wants to play and someone has to sit. At the same time, that makes it essentially trivial? It's only a big deal because he went to the media about it, it's in no way an indicator he wants to be traded right now. Even if he explicitly requested a trade, I don't think any management group honors it (a la Debrusk). He's too important to the team, and the management responsible for his anger has one foot out the door anyway.
