Canes Next Year Keeping Guentzel Moving Necas

If we move necas, it’ll be out west or for a roster upgrade

I could see this working for Carolina. Though, I'd rather not overpay Skjei and just bring Necas back.

JJP is on a similar trajectory as Necas, so think Buffalo would pass. Necas is better, and I feel the gap may be worth the first in a vacuum this year, but projecting out will close. Add in Necas needs a larger contract and JJP will be cheaper, along with that first being relatively high, can’t see Buffalo doing that.

The upgrade in this instance is the ability to resign Guentzel and Skjei.

Take out JJP and add a different prospect
