I'm not entirely convinced he'll get traded at all (though it's still probably the most likely outcome). But he's been wanting more of an opportunity to be a primary offensive player, and this year he should get it.It's a reasonable enough cap hit for now. They sort of sidestepped the real issues here, kicking the can down the road. They get him for a price where they can get their other business done now, for the year. But beyond this year...it puts him in a bit of a further devalued position as a trade chip next summer. Unless it's a team where they're confident they can get him signed to an actually reasonable long-term deal.
what was all the frothing at the mouth about wanting 9.5 million and he's as good as gone
Maybe, but Nylander has more ability to slow the play down and make plays or find open space than Necas. He's also stronger on his skates than Necas.Nescas is (imo) going to put up numbers similar to William Nylander. He shows a lot of Nylander’s ability to push play carrying the puck.
Yeah he doesn't see the ice as well as Nylander, but he's even more dynamic with his ability to challenge defenders. And he's got the better one timer.Maybe, but Nylander has more ability to slow the play down and make plays or find open space than Necas. He's also stronger on his skates than Necas.
I would be surprised, but happily surprised, if Necas came anywhere near Nylander's numbers, because he's not as good as Nylandaer, but also given the style of play the Canes employ.
easier to tradeSurprised it’s not longer .
That's the sort of deal that will be available. My guess is that Carolina will try to repair the relationship this season before they aggressively try to trade him.Looks like the perfect set up to work the basis of a Necas for Laine deal![]()
He should be on the first line but that leaves Svechnikov with nothing to work with. Looks like a bottom 10 lineup to me.I'm not entirely convinced he'll get traded at all (though it's still probably the most likely outcome).

A big season from him could change a lot for both parties. He's got the potential to score 70-80 points if given PP1 deployments. He brings an element of dynamism and instant offense that the Hurricanes really lack. He's the ideal guy who can carry weaker secondary offensive players behind a top line.
I think running something like the below could work out pretty well for Necas, especially if they find a spot for him on PP1 again:
Jarvis - Aho - Roslovic
Svechnikov - Drury/Kotkaniemi - Necas
Fast - Staal - Martinook
Carrier - Drury/Kotkaniemi - Robinson
They could even experiment with him at center again, see if he's able to find his game there.
But it will get top 10 results so we're OK with thatHe should be on the first line but that leaves Svechnikov with nothing to work with. Looks like a bottom 10 lineup to me.
This is why people saying "he wants out" are wrong. He had opportunities to leave and didn't take them.Its not like we want him on the team. He's not a great fit and we've been actively trying to trade him, he just refuses to sign with any of the teams we had a framework for a deal with (hearing those were at least Columbus, Buffalo, and Winnipeg)
Our projected 1st line is likely:He should be on the first line but that leaves Svechnikov with nothing to work with. Looks like a bottom 10 lineup to me.
Hopefully Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis. I have Jarvis in my keeper league. That would leave Necas with 3rd line level linemates. With the forwards and defense depleted they will be in a fight for a playoff spot.Our projected 1st line is likely:
Svechnikov/Aho/Necas or Jarvis
Defense isn't really depleted though in a significant sense. It's not as good as last year but not by much.Hopefully Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis. I have Jarvis in my keeper league. That would leave Necas with 3rd line level linemates. With the forwards and defense depleted they will be in a fight for a playoff spot.
We really need to break that foursome evenly across 2 lines if we hope to not be extremely shallow upfront. Something like:Our projected 1st line is likely:
Svechnikov/Aho/Necas or Jarvis
This is how I see it. They currently have 4, proven top 6 forwards in Aho, Jarvis, Necas and Svechnikov. I see pairs, Aho and Jarvis, Necas and Svechnikov. Those are the basis of 2 scoring lines. Plug Drury or Kotkaniemi between Svechnikov and Necas and there’s one lines.We really need to break that foursome evenly across 2 lines if we hope to not be extremely shallow upfront. Something like:
XXX/Aho/Jarvis
Svechnikov/YYY/Necas
...where XXX and YYY are revolving slots until something clicks into a working line.
If it was offered the only reason it wouldn't go through is if Necas refused to go to Winnipeg. Can't see Chevy making that offer though.The Canes may have turned down Mcgroarty, Perfetti, and a pick according Seravelli. Though it sounds like he may have just pulled that out of his ass.
That would have been a pretty massive package.
