Apparently, according to David Littman of hockey trade rumours, Friedman made some comments to the effect that CBJ might be open to moving on from D David Jiricek. Seems he’s struggling this season a bit, and finding it hard to earn ice-time from HC Dean Evason- he’s been scratched several times, and when he does play, it’s only 11+ minutes per game. Compounding the problem is that Jiricek had difficulty last year with management, and the new GM (Waddell) might not value him as much as Kek did. DJ’s agent is Allan Walsh btw.
I know we have a glut of D in the system, but this kid is a stud and a future star. Not sure what they would want, but I would back up the truck for this one.
