Sujet: PLD Kakko Necas and UFAs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rb1481</b></div><div>So which is it? An overpay, or the picks/players arent what they would want? You can’t say both, you contradict your own statement</div></div>

It's an overpay, Montreal should not offer this much in a package for any one player that isn't a superstar. If offered this package, I still think the Canes decline because it's not what they would be looking for in a return for Necas. Those are not contradictory statements, they are complimentary. Teams don't trade players in a vacuum, and in Carolina's case they are contending and don't want to sell their players for futures.

If a team offered their next four firsts for Cole Caufield, far more than he is worth, Kent Hughes would probably decline because they are trying to exit their rebuild and futures would set them back.

Sujet: Guentzel Jarvis Necas
Guentzel might be able to get 10 million, but I doubt it will be the Canes that give it to him. I doubt Fast waives his NMC for Utah, but if you get Guentzel's number lower, you can certainly keep him. The term for both Jarvis and Necas seems short for the AAV, although with arb rights Necas could conceivably do that if he thinks he'll get more as a UFA. I would prefer a veteran LHD to pair with Morrow, but I can see a world where he is put on the second pair to be assisted by Orlov and Chatfield stays third pair with Harris (or whoever). I'm not sure Blake or Gunler are particularly ready, but they could certainly surprise out of training camp. There's also the potential ~4 million in cap savings of a KK buyout (or more if he is traded), but that seems not super likely.

All in all, good job! I'm being pretty nitpicky, but I agree that the "Canes can't keep Necas" narrative is overblown unless he is asking for ~8 million a year.

Sujet: Keep Guentzel and Trade Necas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlafCaufZuki</b></div><div>My logic here was that Harris plays like a veteran. He's not flashy, but he almost never does mistakes and he's smart. He's also a great community guy and he's very eloquent. He seems as someone who's a good fit with their core. I signed Martinez in case he doesn't gel well with Morrow.

You can keep both of them if you don't re-sign Turbo and you buyout KK,, but the cap would be extremely tight. This allows you to be more flexible cap-wise and it would give the Canes room to use their draft capital to improve up front at the deadline.

What would be a fair trade for Necas from the Habs then? 1st + Mesar + Harris?? I know Necas isn't worth the moon either but he's a young productive player so he's definitely worth way more than a first.</div></div>

Necas' trade value is somewhere between Reinhart and Fiala (1st and good prospect), with the caveat that neither situation is particularly comparable. Buffalo trading Reinhart was a reset to their rebuild, and Minnesota was gaining 14 million in dead cap. The most likely scenario that Necas gets traded - in my opinion - is if he is packaged with picks for a replacement with term/team control, or a top 4 RHD to fill in after Burns retires. For these reasons the Canadiens aren't great trade partners; they aren't going to trade their young guys, their window is about to open.

I think the Canes front office has a number they are willing to give Guentzel, my guess is it starts with an 8, and probably for 5-6 years. He'll likely walk - see Trocheck, or Hamilton, and then they will have plenty of space to re-sign Necas if they so choose.
