Minny was supposedly a frontrunner, not surprising 

 

Wonder what the return is

Faber, Jiricek, and Buium could be a helluva D future for Minny, Lambos too

So a 1st, 2nd and a prospect.  That's pretty much what I said would happen.  My offer was Hoglander, a 1st and a prospect...

[Phil_314]

Wow, that's the price for disgruntled NHL blue-chip prospects (1st, depth and couple other picks, similar to what Askarov got).

[MatchesMalone]

Less than I was expecting for Jiricek, but can't say I know a lot about Daemon Hunt.

I thought they'd do better too, though that's probably a steeper price than Allvin was willing to match in terms of picks and prospects

[Sophomore Jinx]

Minny already scares me NOW, but they will be even scarier in the next couple years.

[HKSR]

Columbus will regret this deal.

Most likely Allvin was not offering the 1st round pick.  I don't blame him either.  He is saving that for a player that can help today...

[Alflives]

Columbus did the best they could with a quickly diminishing in value asset. 

[Wing]

I'm surprised that's all it took. I also don't know anything about Damon Hunt but he's a former third rounder in 2020. Not saying 1st + 2nd is nothing, but if Minny finishes high in the standings it might not even be a top 20 pick.

 

Minny got the RHD prospect they need in their already deep prospect pool. The Parise/Suter dead cap is pretty much done after this season. They're in a pretty damn good position. I don't like that they're in our conference =/

Our first would be the same value. (Do we have a second?) And the AHL D man sounds like he’s somewhere between Woo and D-Petey. Juricek just seems like too much of a risk for clubs to give up a more sure thing for. 

[Devron]

Maybe Jirichek ends up sucking anyway. Never really know. Good return for Columbus

Agreed, while the acquistion / addition of Jiricek would have been great in the long-term plans, I suspect he will make a trade splash the second week of January. 

 

Allow for the post-US Thanksgiving and Christmas click-bait rumour mills to slow down, and then strike when the price of his target(s) drop temporarily.

Probably, there's a very good chance none of the pieces offer the NHL impact Jiricek will in Minny

 

They're on track to head to the draft with three 1st's though, because they should probably get one for Provorov

Probably, and we don't have the prospect depth to give up the equivalent of a 1st, we'd likely have to have given up Lekkerimaki+ given Willander was off the table

[Captain Hughes]

Jiribust

I think so too.  That was probably the best offer on the table.  The 1st round pick could be quite low as Minny is currently 2nd in the NHL.  So, could end up being a 1st round pick in the high 20's, a 2nd round pick in the high 50's and this Hunt guy who was a 3rd round pick in 2020 who could be a bust.  All for a 6th overall pick who was projected to be a top pairing Dman and still technically can be.

 

Minnesota committed highway robbery here really.  They now have one of the best young cores in the entire NHL, and it's happening right as all of their dead money is coming off the books.  They will be a scary team moving forward...

Canucks equivalent: 

 

To Columbus: 

Jett Woo 

2025 1st 
2027 2nd 

2026 3rd 

 

To Canucks: 

David Jiricek 

2026 5th

 

Jiricek is worth that package but I don’t think we’re in a position to do that deal.

Columbus diminished the asset though themselves.  They are a horrible club at developing talent really.  We should try and get Kent Johnson from them...

Maybe, maybe not, but a 1st and a 2nd is a lot to give up and our prospect depth isn't the greatest 

 

We need NHL level help today, Minny isn't giving up anything from their NHL roster

 

They have the luxury of being able to roll the dice on a D like Jiricek, we need a clear cut NHL level upgrade yesterday 

 

Some of it's goaltending, some of it's the Wild working their asses off, but they've given up the least amount of goals thus far despite being 20th in SOG allowed and having the 27th ranked PK
