Canes pass. The 1st is the only piece of interest, and the Canes don’t have to move Necas. So unless Montreal gets comfortable with the idea of sending 1 of their 3 roster players of interest back in return, the Habs aren’t getting Necas.

That's likely what you don't want, but expect an offer like that for a player like Necas. I'm sure that you don't really know who is Mesar.

And just looks what I wrote for the Canes, they can use that to make an offer for a player like Buchnevich.

And when you talking about one of their three roster players, who they are ?

2 years ago it cost the Yotes 2 2nds to move from 27th to 11th, why would you think it costs significantly more than that to move up 9 spots from 23rd to 14th? You could remove everything but Barron and the 1st and it would be equal to that previous trade

He thinks he is getting one of Caufield, Suzuki or Slaf + a 1st for Necas. It's really not worth talking to Canes fans about cause they take delusional to a whole new unforseen level

The cost to dump Dvorack can be a 2nd round pick, and that's why I added that.

All of the 3 players have much more value than Necas...................................... Bergevin isn't anymore the Habs GM.......

Caufield have somes better offensive stats than Necas at a younger age, Suzuki is able to carry offensively a full team and Slaf can hit easily the 70-80 pts mark next season.

But Necas is now 25-26, have a good season (and haved a breakout season last year with playing with Aho, etc.), but already hit his prime.

Dvorak isn't a cap dump, most fans on here don't view players the way GM's do. Dvorak has had some injury woes and some down production cause he doesn't fit the offense first style the Habs want to play since the new management took over but send him to a defensive team like the Canes, Kings or Stars and he will do much better, and that how GM's will view him

I agree, hence the reason I said he was delusional. He thinks Necas is McDavid or MacKinnon, hell most Canes fans seem to think that. Necas has a career average of 55 points a season, which he is once again conveniently on pace for but they see that 71 point season as being his norm not the outlier it is. Necas has Domi's value yet they think he is McDavid or something.

Necas isnt worth any of those three unless Carolina is adding a sweetener. Plus the whole hypothetical situation here is that Necas is a cap casualty, so trading him for a player with the same cap hit or higher doesn't make any sense, which means it would be picks and prospects for Necas.

I get what you want but fans on this site are doing Necas trades with the idea that Carolina can't afford to resign him because they choose to sign Jarvis long term, 8+ million, resign Skeji, resign Pesce and resign Guentzel. Leaving now room for Necas

And they can make a trade for a player like Buchnevich (at 50%, means like at 2,5M in their cap space) and they will gonna save 4,5M for a similar player like Necas.

Those are the only three good players on your team and the Hurricanes aren't gonna take a bulk return.

Sharks aren't doing that.

Once again, the notion that the Canes can’t afford a Necas extension is laughable. Turbo, Skjei, and Pesce all likely have to walk, but the damage from that has also been mitigated with other acquisitions. Necas is a player who isn’t a great fit in a defense first system, but would relatively easily be putting up 80-100+ points in an offensive system that utilizes Necas biggest strengths.

That being said, one of the biggest reasons why the Canes aren’t going to consider the vast majority of these packages, is between people thinking the Canes don’t have the cap space to sign Necas, and the fact that any team wanting to acquire Necas would have to buy off a contending team that has no reason to trade him. Much like the Blues with Buchnevich, you would have to give them a reason to trade away their asset, and it’s going to take more than a late 1st, a prospect, and an assortment of picks.

See what I mean, they think Necas has a McDavid trajectory when reality is he has Domi's. He is a 40-60 point 2nd line forward who will occasionally put up 70 points, that's it. He isn't going to suddenly become a ppg player at 26 or supplant Suzuki or Aho ad the number 1C. He is a solid 2nd line forward who will need a new contract and is looking at north of 7 mil. The fact that these Canes fans would rather lose 3 very important peices to their lineup for nothing over getting a decent return for a 2nd line player is actually quite sad.



Do you seriously think Pesce and Skeji are going to be easy to replace at less than 2 mil each?! That is some kind of delusion you have there, you don't just replace top 4 D men like they grow on trees.

flyers decline. don't care that anderson is a 'torts player'. they have too many wingers already

I agree they can resign him, it will just come at the cost of some defense and Guentzel. As I explained, this post is a hypothetical where they rather sign those players and lose Necas, which is going to be a common thing on this site moving forward.

Also gotta love the thought that Necas would magically become a top 10 player in the league at age 25 after never even being a ppg player. He's good but you've seen what he is, a 60-70 point speedy winger and that's great for him and Carolina but thinking he has this ridiculous value because of what he MIGHT be is wrong and no GM in the league over pays for a player entering the back half of his career.

Necas is terrible defensively, i doubt that he will be a target for Hugues and Gorton. Despite playing for one of the best team, despite having one of the highest offensive rate around the league, he still managed to be a minus player.
They can expect any of our player but they can stick with him, Mtl better not approach Necas with a 15 foot stick.

CHI somehow someway (wink wink) is going to win the lottery and fast track their rebuild.

Personally, I think that's gonna be between SJ or MTL.

They have been telling themselves that 7 pt Dvorak is a asset all year. 4.45M for a guy who cant stay healthy or break 30pts. if we were trading him from the US to Canada they;d be asking for a 1st to dump him.

Somes Hawks fans telled that a 2nd can be enough to dump him. Just looks what that's cost to NYI to dump the Josh Bailey contract....
