I wonder if Carolina would just go all in and trade for Klingberg AND Pavelski?
I don't know cap situation and Dallas would definitely need to retain, but if it means they are able to pull a 1st and a higher end prospect such as Suzuki/Drury + other pieces, that could be huge.
It won't happen, but I would love Martin Necas in Dallas playing with Robertson and Hintz. But if Carolina likes what they see from Jarvis, and feel Necas could be replaced internally, maybe it could happen. But such a high price to pay for rentals. Carolina has drafted so well, and accumulated so many assets, they are on the cusp of a deep run, they are at the point where they could pull the trigger on a move like this to put them over the top.
Yeah, Necas for a rental or even 2 rentals ain’t happening. The only way they move Necas, imho, is this off-season if he asks for the moon on his next contract.
For Klingberg, I’d expect Bear + a prospect not named Drury or Morrow. (Personally, I’d think they’d not want to trade Suzuki, Heimosalmi or Koivunen as well, but that’s just me).
Potentially, maybe they even consider moving a Niederreiter or Trocheck, but I would highly doubt them doing that. Bear would be the odd man out with them acquiring Klingberg, and he could at least fill-in for the loss. He’s also young enough with team control and top 4 potential to be a long term piece.
I wouldn’t expect the Canes to offer more than Bear + a Bokk/Rees/Gunler type prospect. I’ll be surprised if they’d offer more, but you never know.
Not sure if their interest in Pavelski. I’d think if they go the rental route with Klingberg, any additional deals would probably be for guys with term. Not their MO to go after multiple rentals.
