Jiracek has played 10 games in January, that is it. He was playing in the AHL, in December, got called up when there was a rash of injuries, and then sent back when some go healthy.
For an NHL ready guy, he doesnt seem to be playing in the NHL much. He is still very young and could change his mindset some. But early returns on the trade: as the magic 8 balls says, signs are good.
