Different Idea

You'd have to give up a lot more for Necas. I think he is only moved for a top 6 forward for the Canes. Hunt probably tops out as a bottom pairing player and Khovanov at this point is a warm body for the AHL.

Unless you forgot to add someone like Boldy (probably a little much but it males the point) Carolina passes hard. Edit: On the Necas trade that it.

Kulikov for a 3rd is meh, I get that could be any team but eh.

I can see something like this. Maybe top 5 protection? But yeah I can see the Devils deal being something more or less like this.

Hi again, and I still think you’re valuing Necas way too highly. Based on a couple season ago and not in 2022 where his value has declined. The package going back is two high quality prospects. Lol Boldy? That didn’t help your cause at all, only proves you think too highly of Necas. The presumption here is Car gets a big fish in FA.

Yeah, same with Kul, really any team looking for depth. Same goes for Jost.

Yeah, top 5 works too. I think this would be a win for MN and NJ. NJ keeps their young core together and 2OA and gets Fiala.I’m not saying 2 OA would go for Fiala but you keep it and get Fiala as opposed to maybe flipping it for Cat or someone else. And MN gets a high quality right shot center prospect and another first in a better draft in 2023 I don’t expect NJ to pick too 5 at all next year.
