Columbus fans whats the move

Columbus probs values him at more than this. Bordeleau could turn out to be a second or third line winger if he reaches his potential, but he hasn’t proven himself yet and he is also kind of undersized.

Jiricek hasnt either completely but he’s a right shot dman so I think that alone makes him worth significantly more

I think it’s one of those deals where both sides say no because even San Jose could hard core lose this if jiricek doesn’t pan out

The Jiricek interviews from earlier in the year that caused a small uproar. He was frustrated (i think justifiably given Columbus’ defense) about not getting the same opportunities as other high end d prospects like Korchinski. There was a lot of a certain type of hockey fan that was essentially telling Jiricek he needs to put his head down shut up and play. From the outside looking in it appeared to have some discord between staff and Jiricek. Like i said in the description though with new management i feel he will stay.

I mean in his draft year he was 6 overall, and he hasn’t been a world beater or anything like that. 14+ a good prospect seems like appropriate value for me, but the big hurdle I think is that the staff that was frustrating Jiricek isnt there any more. IDK what Columbus d core is like this yer but i dont think its so clogged again this year which also means he should get his op.

Jiricek is a great potential top D man. CBJ are taking their time with him. They have a log jam at RD but that should be solved this summer. Jiricek will be with the big club this season. The story of him being unhappy is overblown. It is a development thing and a situation of too many NHL D contracts. The trade doesn’t come close but he is also not available for trade in this context.
