Gee, Canes have Andersson, why do they need Ullmark, especially at that cost..

They could have beaten the NYR with Ullmark. They have needed better goaltending for awhile now.

Andersen is a bridge for the age of Pyotr Kochetkov who had a very promising back-half of the year last year (0.924,2.05)... I think that PK will take a massive step forward this season with more playing time

5Mx5? I think Necas would take the arb awarded 1-year contract before doing that. He's 25, so only reason for him to take a 5-year deal is if he's getting paid for future production, something like 8MX5. He'll more than likely want something in the high 6s or low 7s on a 7+ year deal.

Pyotr might also go backwards, like many young goalies do. Carolina needs to win now

Canes pass. Necas won’t be moved for Ullmark and Necas won’t sign that deal anyways.

If Necas would need more, that is fine. Boston has the space

Trade wouldn’t happen as constructed so it’s a moot point.

Are the Canes going to pay him

Ignore the bad trade (make Boston give the 3rd and we're a piece or two away), how could you miss the opportunity to title this "Czech Mate"...
