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.
I don’t know about the guy, but if a team dying for franchise talent has it, why won’t someone bridge the gap between the guy and the coaching staff. Seems like some egos let things go just because they can’t meet half way.
