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: Losing the dead weight
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoolHandL</b></div><div>Agreed, just send them through waivers. Or Mojo could be traded fairly easily, I'd think.

And I don't think Flower would need to be paid 3.5 again. 2M or so, is my thinking. Otherwise this looks alright. I really do wonder whether Heidt makes a push for the team, especially if Mojo/Freddy are jettisoned.</div></div>

Yeah the issue with Mojo is that they won't actually waive him. I think if he was given the ultimatum of "AHL or trade", he would waive the NTC, but Guerin isn't gonna do that. Even if it works on paper and in theory.

Heidt probably won't be ready IMHO, but it will be fun to see if he can get his 9 games and what he does with them.

Tbh, one thought I had with Heidt (if he does impress but maybe not quite full-time) is if they'd ever consider something like what Anaheim is doing with Carlsson - a deliberately reduced schedule. You obviously want him playing, but I do wonder if 40-45 NHL games is better than 68 WHL games for a guy like him.

Thread: Addison for Yager
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>He's fine. Especially considering he missed a whole year of crucial development due to Myocarditis.

He's doing great in the AHL right now. There's nothing wrong with letting him overbake down there where he's getting top ice time and being *the guy*.

But there's a small contingent of Wild fans who are irrationally ready to give up on him just because he's not already playing for the Wild in a top six role or hate the fact he's under 6'0" tall.</div></div>

They're doing this the right way.

Nothing drove me crazy more than when so many wild fans said last year that Rossi would be the immediate solution to the top 6 center gap. While I agree he is for the long term, people wanted too much, too soon, and some still do.

Still think y'all need a stopgap top 6 C tho for another year.
