Thread: Rossi Jiricek
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_92</b></div><div>It’s not media or fans making a big deal outta him being yo-yo’d up and down - Jiricek himself made a big deal outta it. He believes he should be getting more ice time in the NHL, specifically on the PP where he’s not getting any ice time.

Sure the odds are in favour of him likely being on the team next year, but a deal wouldn’t be as surprising as some people think either</div></div>

If he wants to play in the NHL maybe he should play well enough to earn it. He has been AWFUL this season when with the main squad. His skating is atrocious. If he wants even a chance of making the opening day roster next year he has to work extremely hard this summer. As it stands now I think he will start the season up in Cleveland once again.

Thread: Get it done Jarmo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hopefullynextyear</b></div><div>I think this team needs a stabilizer in order to be playing somewhat meaningful games in March and April. They look overwhelmed often and need a high end veteran in the middle of the ice. Assuming that Lindholm will sign an extension, I think Jarmo needs to make a move like this in order to prevent the season being over in December.</div></div>

TBH the season is already over... we've won 1 game in our last 11 and officially have a worst start than what we had last year where we finished with the second worst record in the league... Yes the Blues made a miracle happen and won a cup with a similar start but CBJ don't have the mindset and mental strength to pull through this. The season is over and there is no way we trade that 1st round pick anymore. Lindholm would have to sign with us in the off season as a UFA or we do a sign and trade like we did with Severson (which is not working out cause he is playing like garbage right now) if Lindholm wants a final 8 year contract for his career.

Thread: If Petey forces his way out next summer
KJ, imo, is untouchable right now. Other CBJ fans think Jiricek is also untouchable but I'll allow it in this instance. A trade for Petey wanting out next summer would be around a Eichel return not Tkachuk since Calgary wanted to still compete so that trade really isn't comparable. This trade would be a mini retool and to shorten any rebuild Van would have to commit to (also similar to what Buffalo has done). With that you get the following:

- a 50 pt. a season player (23-25 years old)
- a young prospect (mid 1st round)
- mid 1st round pick
- mid 2nd round pick

Now lets say EP is worth more then Eichel was at that time (Which is true since Eichel had an unknown with his neck) so lets bump that "a young prospect (mid 1st round)" to a coveted prospect who was drafted at the top of the draft (Jiricek). Then you have Cole Silinger who is the Krebs part of this trade. Then you have the 2025 1st (which should be a mid 1st rounder) and then we add a 2nd the following year.

We get this as the final trade:

From Van:

- EP

From CBJ:

- Cole Sillinger
- Jiricek
- 2025 1st
- 2026 2nd

This is the most I can see Jarmo offering IMO. I know you, based off comments already, will hate this trade but for the sake of argument I thought I would add my 2 cents.
