Columbus ain't moving Jiricek. He's a top ten pick (6th), he's performing really well, and they're a rebuilding team. He's an awesome player though, you're right about that. I don't think Hronek can really ask for the moon or anything, he's having a really good season this year, but his track record isn't so good that he can ask too much. He's like Bertuzzi in that way. One really good year and a few pretty good ones. That should typically put you in the 6-6.5 million range for Hronek. I'd lock him up at that in a heartbeat. But we've still got a lot of rope left to play out with him. He's under contract for another year, and then he's an RFA still. So he's under team control for at least two more seasons after this one. So SY has a couple options with him. Overall I agree that it would be nice to have another decent right hander, but I don't think it's as urgent as center or scoring winger.

If anyone here is religious, like really genuinely religious, then when you're brushing your teeth before bed tonight you should look at yourself in the mirror and think, "I'm one of the dumbest f*cks alive today". Just profoundly, disgustingly, stupid. Tyler Bertuzzi stupid.

Jesus was a rabble rouser and had it coming

Who could have seen that coming?

Seider had an absolutely beastly stop on McDavid during overtime as well. One on one situation and Seider bodied him, completely nullified the play, and Detroit got the puck back. He was fantastic against McDavid all night long, no easy feat...obviously.

I'm not mad about SY re-signing Maatta. He's been good. I just don't understand why you wouldn't wait till after the deadline. See if there's a market for the guy and then re-sign if nothing materializes.

Maatta extended 2 years, 3M aav

Seider playing the body on McDavid last night = AWESOME. That really stood out to me as a sign of thingsto come. We could use Jiricek from Columbus to give us Edvinsson-Seider, Wallinder-Jiricek. Having (4) guys between 6'3 and 6'6" with crazy reach and great 2 waygames would be a sight to behold.

he's probably alright. this is probably just roster management.
