Sabres wouldn't trade Quinn straight up for necas

Necas overrated and soon to be overpaid

Not trading Quinn for that let alone adding Samuelsson. You could maybe choose 1 if Necas had an 8 year team friendly deal in place

A team is gonna have to give up a top prospect or at least a promising one to get Necas... like this is how these kinds of trades work... just look at Fiala trade

Jack Quinn isn't a prospect

Fair enough... but you're going to have to give up something like him... the Hurricanes aren't gonna take on some long-shot prospect for a guy like Necas

Hurricanes are in a corner. If they view him as a “future star” then Necas and his agent will hear that and want more money (8M range)…..

If they want that much money, the return the canes will get is relatively low. It’s the nature of these bridge contracts where you underpay the player. You are essentially borrowing from the future.

Look at the Reinhart/Buchnevich/Fiala trades. You’re getting a late first and a B+ prospect. But for those teams, it looks like Faber and Levi are going to pan out, it’s the game!

Samuelsson and a pick for Necas is probably something you're looking at as an example of his return.
