Whoa....
Man, pls have a look at other trades that have happened to get signing rights players before they go to UFA.
this is A LOT to send to the canes for a player they might very well have to let walk.
Jordan Harris? Sure. Everything else? No.

Necas is RFA, not UFA. They are not letting him just walk.

That’s going to be a hard no. We are very likely to be able to get a forward with 90 pt potential at 6th OA

Oh ya sorry, why did I think he was UFA? Anyways..
That's still a lot. Personally I wouldn't trade 6th overall for Necas. He's 26 years old, only had 2 20-goal seasons.
Great player. I would trade Harris and the other 1st round pick

PE Bellemare supposed to be league minimum, not Habs maximum, right?

Thats a lot for necas

Canes would need something to help them win now in return, not something that may help in 3-5 years (late first). And I don't think they like Harris that much. If it's just picks/prospects, then it should be big overpay, so they can flip the return.

And while stats may not seem to be shiny, his NHL ppg is 0,68, with 16.37 TOI and 2.07 TOIPP. Canes are defense first team, and every forward is required to do their duty, not steal for offense. Even their superstar Aho has been having hard time to break ppg line.

But you either have to include player like Newhook with WPG 1st & Harris (don't know if that'd be enough), or make your 6th ovr pick the mainpiece of the trade.

This is just coming from a simple Flyers fan, not on favoring either team.

Ok, but in that case forget it. Mtl wouldn't give Newhook + + for a guy who is basically 3 years ahead of him.
Canes aren't going to get such a big return for Necas. Definitely not 3 pieces. I'd be surprised if they got 2.

Canes wouldn't consider Harris and Winnipeg's 1st. Truthfully, Harris isn't of much interest, neither is Dvorak. The ONLY thing here interesting for Carolina is the pick. Personally, I'd still rather use Necas (whose 25, not 26) to get a major upgrade up fromt. He's had 3 different 60+ point pace seasons (this year, the 56 game season, and the 71 points he had last year) and he's doing that in a system where individual offensive talent goes to die. To put that into perspective, while not getting top line minutes because of his defensive game and playing out of position as a natural center in a system where he's forced to play a game he doesn't want to, he's STILL outproducing Caufield.

LMAO, they'll get 3 very strong quality pieces IF they decide to move Necas. This isn't it. The pick is nice, but there's no interest in anything else

That's an easy pass from the Habs. Necas ain't worth 6th overall

Ok, well...still don't think he's worth 6th overall.
Personally I wouldn't even trade 6th overall for Zegras.
Consider also there's an element here that Carolina can't afford to re-sign everyone this year and next, there's pressure on them to move someone.
And of course, add the element of the sour OS business and the Canes owner taking things so personally, I don't think Habs are the team the Canes need to be dancing with in this situation

You struggle to be objective. Let's see.

Why? Picks are magic beans. Filip Zadina was a 6th overall pick. You think he's worth more than Martin Necas? There's no pick (unless it's like, top 3) that'll ever be worth more than a 60-65 point producer in a defensively demanding system. Montreal may not get their calls answered by Carolina after Waddell pants them with the KK deal, but Carolina can afford to re-sign everyone. All they need to do is bridge Jarvis instead of signing him long term. There has to be a reason for Carolina to move Necas, this isn't it

The Hurricanes have enough cap space to only sacrifice to re-sign pretty much everybody... It's gonna take a lot to move him out. Even though he can piss people off with his defensive play at time he is still a very very good player.

No. They're sending him out on a high note. Great career, PE! Here's 8 million dollars.

Well let's see.

What do you mean? You would not pay PEB $7.75M ?? lol jk yes min contract
