Spicy.

God I hope not, have zero interest in Necas; just another skinny skill guy who underperforms defensively. He's a bigger Skinner

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Buffalo has a team full of Necas.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

He has two years of RFA control or one? Looks like two.

 

[Patdud]

Paywall, is the rumor that hes going to buffalo for their pick?

No... he's a bigger, faster Skinner!

In all honesty... they have similarities in that they both suck at using their teammates and neither of them are NHL caliber C.

While they are both massive puck hogs they go about it in different ways. Necas is speed and zone entries with a laser shot. Both (I imagine Skinner is still good at this) protect the puck well but because of their absolute lack of on ice awareness they are usually super out of position so if they lose the puck it's an odd man rush the other way guaranteed because their linemates can't just be a permanent safety net.

I don't know why Buffalo would be in on Necas but out on Skinner but here we are.

 

[Yatzhee]

Buffalo would be a good fit for Necas. Would Necas be a good fit for Buffalo? They are looking for top 6 winger.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

2 years of control.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Buying out Skinner to replace him with Necas is certainly a choice.

 

[Chrispy]

Buffalo acquires Necas, keeps Skinner, puts them on a line together, and buys Carolina’s 23-24 slogan:

Cause Chaos.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Please no unless we are planning to obtain a bunch of "f*** you" players in the bottom 6

I think the canes are as close to re-signing Jake as the nucks are with Lindholm.
Both players know that they are the most coveted at their respective position and will have a bunch of teams lining up for them and owe it to themselves to see what's out there.

End of the day I think Boston overpay for Lindholm and Vancouver overpays for Jake and from a nucks pov I'm 100% ok with that.
I think Ehlers ends up a Cane

 

[Ace]

I can already see that this thread is going to be full of takes from people who didn’t watch Skinner play at 32 years old and counting

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Paywall, is the rumor that hes going to buffalo for their pick?

Negative. Two separate rumors.

 

[RWatson29]

Jesus Christ buffalo. Get some guys with f**king jam

 

[Pavels Dog]

Makes sense, Buffalo has almost no offense-first skill guys in their organisation.

 

[Chan790]

Paywall, is the rumor that hes going to buffalo for their pick?

Not necessarily. Two rumors. First, that some team is close to a framework of a trade involving a 2024 1st. Second, that Buffalo is very interested. No linking between the two rumors.

That said. Unless KA changed his mind about including one of his better forwards upfront, I'd assume any viable Buffalo offer includes the 1st.

 

[Eegs]

Jesus Christ buffalo. Get some guys with f**king jam

Oh he's got jam. It's just not usually directed at other players.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

2 years of control.

That's what I thought. Not sure I give up the 11th overall, but I would give up the 2nd (a 39th overall) and maybe Isek Rosen and Poltapov

 

[EveryDay]

That's what I thought. Not sure I give up the 11th overall, but I would give up the 2nd (a 39th overall) and maybe Isek Rosen and Poltapov

I think many team would outbid that offer.

MTL could offer pick pick 26 + Calgary/Panthers 1st in 2025 + Mesar

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Necas sounds less and less enticing in every new thread. That said, Preds would certainly pony up #22 and something modest for him. Which of course is way below what Canes fans would accept. Canes management does seem pretty intent on getting rid of him, though...

 

[HaNotsri]

we did one stupid trade recently but it's a long time since we had a monumental failure.

Skinner+11th overall out
Necas+dead cap in would be such a dumb move.

Canes don’t want skinner

I'm not sure those are interesting pieces.

Feels "a lot of stuff" and Rosen in particular isn't interesting as the centerpiece of an offer.

Fewer pieces and at-least one better asset.
