It goes to UFA.
Player gets option to pick 1 or 2 years in arbitration so he was always going to choose 2 to get to UFA. The deal is essentially the arbitration award but both sides wanted to play safe in case the arbitrator sided heavily to 1 side.

I get the process and outcome. What’s unclear to me is what Carolina does with Necas given they have already tried to trade him and were unsuccessful. I guess they wait for another team to have a rift with a malcontent.
Just noticed he has full NMC for first 6 years and NTC for last 2.
what a mess on top of the premium value.
The ole parise let me walk myself to free agency contract
To be fair it sounds like he has been honest with the team about that. They have tried to trade him but can’t find a deal they like. If they are in thr playoff race when he is expiring do they trade him for a low first or keep him as a self rental and let him go afterwards?
One thing I think this does actually do for the Canes is solidify what a team will (at some point) be trading for when the acquire Necas.
Now you know the number and the expiration on the contract so it's just easier to arrive at a meeting point between GMs for what that value is. Any unknowns (how much will he sign for, what contract will he be looking for) just leads to value disparities that make deals harder. Now you know you're trading for 2 years of Necas (or 1.5 or 1 or .5 depending on when you trade for him) at a known cap hit.

It precludes signing him to a long-term deal. Given the realities of the salary cap now, I think a lot of teams would rather have him on a one-year contract as an RFA. That said, given that half of Carolina's offense walked out the door this offseason, Necas could have a very big season and demand a lot more.

I don't hate the TK extension, but I don't love it either. He's a better player than I think he is getting credit for, and we have some real sweetheart deals that we can't hold as a standard. But I think his dropoff will be steep.

I saw the “Confirmed with link: Eric Staal signs contract with Canes” thread pop up in the sidebar and was caught off guard.
I immediately was like “WUT? This guy is coming back to play yet again at 40 years old after missing an entire season and now having not played in the league for 2 of the last 3 years?” Without really putting together the whole contract to retire as a member of the Canes thing.

Hmmmm….this is only a 15 minute walk from my work but I can’t tell if it’s available during the work day, I’m not staying late to check it out, and I care enough to write this but probably not enough to lose a lunch break.
Edit: Also, I’m not an art guy but these don’t seem anything special. Expensive if you want them signed too.
Still better than a cameo.

I hope he and his brothers enjoy a nice retirement in some place like San Francisco.
