That way we can get a winger for a few years and some good picks for the future instead of just a winger who might not work out.

On Guentzel, I still think someone is going to offer him a better package than the Canes will. Hockeycomparables has him projected to get 9.5 for 7yrs or 9 for 8yrs. I wouldnt be surprised if a team offers him 10. The back end of that deal could hurt.

The way I see it is there's pretty much no way to set ourselves up better than last year. So, my team isn't too worried about winning now and focus more on the near future. I think this team sets us up to be far better in a few years than we could possibly be right now if they truly went into win now mode.

We could be really nasty as soon as 2025. Nikishin comes over and we'll get a whole lot of Cap to play with when Orlov, Kuznetzov, Burns, Fast, and Andersen contracts run out. That and all of the ELCs already in the roster could really make the Canes a weapon.</div></div>

Also, as things stand, there are a lot of tasty looking UFAs on the market in 2025(Draisaitl, Rantanen, Marner, Tavares just to name a few) and a very special someone will be a free agent in 2026. Just something to think about

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canesfan21_</b></div><div>I mean why not just keep Guentzel for 9M since he’s younger? Still find it hard to believe stammer leaves Tampa. I also think they just keep Necas over some late in the round picks. TDA was solid filling in for Pesce in the playoffs but shouldn’t be getting a raise. They’ll get a better 3LD than Ty Smith</div></div>

I think term is a big reason behind why the Canes won't sign Guentzel. It makes more sense to get Stamkos for 2 years imo.

I also think the Necas bridge is burned. I'd love to keep him, but the guy wants out more than anything it seems. I know they've said they want a star in return, but I don't think any teams are willing to give that up for Necas.
Also, I'm not married to the picks I put in the trade. I'm sure they could find a way to get a lower pick from Montreal or maybe someone else.

You're right if TDA was re-signed it would probably be for less. I only gave him a little more since he'd have a bigger role this year.

If the Canes do go for another 3LD I don't think it's gonna be anyone that good. Whoever it might be they won't be getting much ice time now or in the future(Slavin extension and Nikishin coming over). I think its better to go with Smith(or another cheap guy) for now and potentially weaponize the Cap when Orlov expires and Nikishin comes over. We can have 1 year with lower Stanley cup odds especially if it helps our odds in the future.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>Might as well go after Buch, TK, Marner, etc. with Necas as trade bait. Not wise to put so much pressure on 3 rookies. One of KK or Kuzy will need to go for that to happen. At least 1-1.5mil short on Pesce.</div></div>

Yeah there would be a lot of pressure on them but I think the young guys are good enough. FUS is young but he's had a full season of professional hockey in Europe and is playing with the National Team rn. Morrow broke the record for points at Umass or something and has openly talked about staying at college longer so he can bulk up and be fully ready for the NHL. Think Nadeau would be making the biggest jump but he's got a great shot and is still very highly rated. Also think we need these entry level deals so we dont get suffocated by the cap.

If Pesce wants north of 5.5 I think hes going somewhere else. I felt Skjei did a lot of the heavy lifting on that pairing. Theyll probably just finish out Burns' contract at that point.

If you want a big Necas replacement what do you think about going for Stamkos for a few years?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jamnjon</b></div><div>Question: If Burns was traded back to the Sharks would they get a retention slot back? It seems odd that they'd be treated as retaining on a contract that they're paying 100% of. That said, I'm not sure he agrees to come back. We'd love him back in San Jose and I think he enjoyed much of his time here, but the reason we traded him away for so little was largely to do him a favor/give him a shot at winning.</div></div>

No idea about the retention question. TBH I don't think hes gonna have much of a chance at winning while hes on the top pairing. After seeing how TDA did in his first year youd think anyone could do a decent job next to Slavin and Burns did great at first but dropped off massively this year. His only hope is taking on a more reduced role and thats hard to justify at his current cap hit. Wonder if he'll start to value his iron man streak a little more than his lust for a cup.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RibsFor25</b></div><div>Thoughts on KK? Would you buy him out this summer? From another fellow waisting time at work. Oh saw u answered it nvm.

I'd offer 1st (26 ovr), mesar, 2nd and Armia at 50% For Necas</div></div>

Regarding KK. There was talk on twitter about potentially buying him out. I was confused at first but when you go to the buyout calculator on here it kind of makes sense if youre short on cap. 800k is very little even if it is for 12 years.

For the Necas trade I personally just have a really hard time evaluating trades, so it was easy to just use the Offer Sheet compensation (1x1st + 1x2nd + 1x3rd) if his contract has an AAV of $6,435,187 - $8,580,250. Also think that Montreal could use someone like him, and he would have a good time there.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ecupirate07</b></div><div>noesen is a wonderful filler piece for the org at league minimum but he is the classic case of role player who has earned a bigger contract that you let walk. overpaying for role player is bad for cap management. awesome guy just cant afford to pay him. his skating holds him back from playing any bigger role than 4RW that helps on the PP.

chatty is fine but morrow is here. chatty would be an excellent defender if the game was just up and down the ice non stop. as soon as the other team starts cycling in our zone, he gets pushed around too much to pay to stay as the 3RD.

drury really isnt anything more than a meh 4C who rode necas for an extra 8-10 points because necas didnt have chemistry with anyone else here. no need paying too much for that.</div></div>

I like those guys but Im not tied down to them. If GMDW can find better deals elsewhere I have no problem making changes I just have no idea what they would look like.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vikhodush</b></div><div>Could pair him with Orlov or whoever 3LD is. I also think you can manage it within certain games and keep him with Slavin but decrease some of his minutes. Definitely need somebody who can skate and cover for his aggressiveness but I trust Canes coaching staff can adjust defensively as he ages for one more year.

There’s a ton of variations of this offseason for canes which will dictate what to do with Necas. Agreed that Guentzel and Jarvis are priorities one and two. If you get both of them but let most of the rest of the guys walk (turbo Skjei pesce etc) you can probably fit Necas, at least on a shorter deal. But if you can’t or both sides want to move on you should be able to get good value for him in either a futures or a hockey trade. My point was you’ve got to either sign or trade him.</div></div>

I didnt like much of anything that Burns did this year. Was useless on the power play for pretty much the entire year and got really sloppy in the defensive third against the Rangers. If he cant perform with Slavin hes probably not gonna be able to do it with anyone else. I get its just one more year but he was not good and he needs to be good if we want to win the cup. His age suggests its decline rather than an off year.

Obviously I think we'll get something for Necas since we have his signing rights. It really just depends on what team wants him the most and what they're willing to give up for him wether its players or picks.
