Friedman: Detroit looking to move Tomas Jurco

[bossram]

Honestly think Jurco could do fairly well if given a decent opportunity. Has nothing left to prove at the AHL level. And his (warning small sample size) shot metrics in the NHL have been solid. Just give him some consistent minutes to see what he is. Can't be worse than Glendening?

Different roles.

Jurco is a scorer. Glendening is a solid 4th liner.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

McNeill for Jurco?

Both disappointments who both need change of scenery

I'd rather a pick to be honest, 3rd round pick would be fine by me but I don't really want a player.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Conditional 7th (That can become 6th if Jurco plays in playoffs , 5th if Hawks advance to WCF with him on active roster)

 

[Homesick]

waiver fodder. Good AHL player but just cant cut it in the NHL(like Anton Lander)

We have different definitions of solid then.

I don't see why they can't use Jurco (at the very least) in a Brandon Pirri type utilization.

Maybe, but the coach any the system won't allow that.

Two-way, or you don't play.

Jurco is a top 9 player that needs to play in the top 9. He needed to be developed there but he was in the wrong place at the wrong time with regards to Detroit forwards.

Maybe Pens?

[Martinez]

I hope who ever gets him doesn't turn him into a grinder

 

[Goalie guy]

Some one will get him, And I hope he rips it up just to smack KH in the face!!

Of course you'd be fine with a 3rd round pick. That seems crazy high for a guy like Jurco who could hit the waiver wire any day.

 

[Bubba88]

I'd like to see what he can do next to Toews and Hossa/Panik. If the answer is not much, nothing lost other than taking chances.

a 4th and prospect enough?

 

[Lukas10]

I think Florida should take a shot at him. They have several injuries right now. He could get top 6 mins atleast for the time being.

I could also see Ottawa taking a shot at him w the news of McCarthy being done for the season.

 

[Beville]

Be good for Ottawa to get him, he can probably slot into 6/9.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

1. a 3rd rd pic this year or next
2. a 4th rd pick this year plus a meh prospect

meet either of those demands and Jurco is yours

 

[19 for president]

I firmly believe Jurco could be a good NHL player in a different environment. Babs & Blash to a lesser extent have tried to turn him into a big body grinder, which he absolutely is not. He needs to go someplace that will encourage his skill game. Ideally the Wings get a 3rd or maybe 4th for him. He just doesn't fit into the Wings plans anymore.

 

[Extra Texture]

Conditional 7th (That can become 6th if Jurco plays in playoffs , 5th if Hawks advance to WCF with him on active roster)

Wow, talk about lowballing. Even with his value where it that seems ridiculously cheap

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

McNeill for Jurco?

We can't afford to take salary back? Jurco is the odd man out any ways picks will do nicely.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Conditional 7th (That can become 6th if Jurco plays in playoffs , 5th if Hawks advance to WCF with him on active roster)

Yeah No, Jurco should command far better then that, No reason we can't get at least a 3rd if not a 4th at the very worst he has more value then this.

Maybe Nill likes him like he did with Janmark and Backman

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Nill needs to hold off on continually loading up on forwards for a while

 

[Dr Awesome]

Pens or Oilers could be good landing spot for him

 

[Homesick]

Pens or Oilers could be good landing spot for him

why the hell would the Oilers want a winger that cant produce? Kassian is a way better option than him on the 4th line. Not beating out Draisaitl, or Eberle in the top 6 so that leaves the third line RW spot which I'm pretty sure they have either Puljujarvi or an established veteran at the trade deadline.
He's waiver fodder that falls somewhere in between Noesen(younger higher draft pedigree) and Lander(better AHL player and damn good face off guy in the NHL)

 

[Siludin]

Sbisa for Jurco + 5th?
