Staal to PIT for Acciari

Do you honestly think NSH considers that deal?

Why wouldn't they? Necas is a 70 point player and Nashville needs scoring, still sitting outside the top 10 in that regard while being solid across the board elsewhere. Necas improves them, Carolina get good young players back for their dynamic winger, where's the issue here?

How about you keep Acciari and give the Philly 2nd back for Staal?

He has one season of 71 points and may not even hit 60 this season. Evangelista could be that same 60-70 point player and they keep one of, if not the best goalie prospect + a potential 50 point middle 6 agitator in the process. Necas is good, but he’s not a game breaker by any means and NSH doesn’t need to trade their best young players for a player like Necas. I’d much rather keep the younger players. I’m not opposed to trading for Necas, but this proposal would be a no from NSH. Just because NSH is having a good season doesn’t mean Trotz is going to blow it up by trading a bunch of young guys to try and win now.

2026 3rd (SJS) best I can do

You see the issue here right? Necas will end up with 65-ish points again this year. Evangelista would be lucky to his 40 from here. The price for such a substantial upgrade will be expensive. You have Saros, and everyone knows that Trotz was willing to move Askarov at the draft last year. It's as likely Necas finds a form of consistency and hits 80-90, hell maybe even 100 if Rod doesn't come back as it is for Evangelista to hit 60, or L'Heureux to hit 50. This seems more like a misunderstanding of Necas on your part than an overvalue on my part

Throw in the two points from last night because you don't need them and you got a deal

It’s as likely that Necas hits 100 points as it is for Evangelista to get 60… ok I’m gonna bow out on this one. No point in continuing if this is what you actually believe. Just keep him then lol

Sitting outside the top 10 with a fair amount of young up and coming talent still moving up the pipeline. Evangelista got 15G, L'Heureux looks like he is gonna be a gamer as well. Nashville doesnt need to get in a big hurry here and mortgage alot of futures to upgrade a wing position. Evangelista is 22. In 21-22, necas was getting 14G 27A 41P in 78 games. Ill just have a little patience with Evangelista here and see what happens with him and our other players instead of throwing away a bunch of futures hoping to speed up the clock by a couple seasons.

Necas also had those 41 points in the 56 game season, it's STILL a 60 point pace.

I don’t see Guentzel taking less than 8 x 9.5 unless he’s taking a big discount

North Carolina is a much lower tax state than Pennsylvania, and he's 30, No one is signing him until he's 38.

And? So are you say he regressed? He isnt a consistent producer? I just went back a couple years to where i figured his age 22 year was. His career rates average out to 22G 34A 56P per 82 games for what it's worth

As i said, Evangelista is 22. Nashville just waits and sees what they have in him. It is his rookie season. Beyond him they have Kemell, L'Heureux, wood, Tomasino, Fink, Schaefer and possibly another winger in this draft depending on where we end up in the 1st round. Evangelista made some real big strides in his game over the course of the season and there just isnt any real need or try and speed things along at wing when we have tons of options in our pipeline. If anything, we eventually trade some of those options out to fill our weaker areas (center and rhd).

Necas had a single bad year where he "only" put up 40 points 2 years ago. If you exlude that season, he's not scored at a sub 60 point pace since he was 21...

And you just completely miss the point

What point? You said Necas isn't a consistent producer, but that is complete bullsh*t. You say you want to take your chances with Evangilista, but he's not even on pace to reach the 40 point mark Necas would have done as a rookie if the pandemic didn't stop the world...

Yeh we want to take our chances with our young cost controlled assets since we are in a retool and utilize our cap resources in a wise manner. We lack center assets and RHD assets. Spending futures and cap to acquire wing assets when you have promising wing assets is silly. Nashville has better places to utilize their assets/capspace.

Evangelista has 15G 18A 33P in 70 Games... which is a 17G 21A 38P per 82 pace which i guess isnt quite 40 points if he continues his current pace.

Necas is a natural center.... but you do you big boss

And yet Carolina has him at wing and in a desperation ploy traded for Kuznetsov. Luckily it worked well for them. If they thought he was a center, theyd play him there.

They want to play him there. This has been a major disagreement for years between Rod and the front office, Please don't try and talk about issues you're clueless about.

bro chose Teravainen over Necas lmao

chose Tierney over Drury

chose Jokiharju over Pesce/Skjei

underpaid for Toffoli

traded Drury and Staal for Kampf and traded Kampf further to make room for his idol "breakout candidate" KK

this is so laughable

Is that why he’s a career 41 in the dot? Sheesh.

Preds pass, We’re loaded on RW. We need centers. Necas isn’t a center.

Get used to it. You’ll be laughing a lot at what he posts.
