is it just me or is Necas going to explode this year?

[apollo18]

with the bridge and just him as a player, i don't see how he doesn't hit 80+ this year. i just have a feeling he's going to heat up

how about you guys?

I hope not. Seems like he would die and that's not good we need him for the PP.

Don’t you put that jinx on us. The appropriate thing to say is that he sucks, he’s never going to figure how to be anything but a singles dancing competitor performing his art to an underwhelmed audience and is going to score 50 pts max.

Until there's evidence otherwise, I expect the same Necas we've had in the past. A talented player, but obviously playing in the wrong system to fully utilize those talents. Thus, his point totals will never reach true star numbers (barring a long term injury to Aho or Jarvis)

 

[HisIceness]

Hot take, maybe.

He will be traded next offseason.

I just don't see him getting any better here, and I think it would be best for both parties to part ways.

Not with his current linemates.

So far 0 ppg.

 

[LostInaLostWorld]

So far 0 ppg.

Stats don't lie.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

So far 0 ppg.

So is Aho, Jarvis and all the Russians.

Makes sense why no wins yet

I don’t think there’s another level to his gane. Even on another team, his game is what it is at this point. Good but not great offensive player.

That said, I’d love him to prove me wrong.

Waddya mean, bust? Oh...

He has to commit to the system here.

Get the puck deep. Use that speed and creativity once we've gained the zone, not dancing at the blue line.

If he doesn't, he's gonna be somewhere else.

It really is that simple, I think.

I think he’s going to be somewhere else regardless. But if he wants to put up points and show off to whichever team he’s going to be playing on in the near future, he does need to do those things you mentioned.

Quite often during his “dancing” he barely gets his teammates involved and as importantly even skilled players use the body periodically to both get the puck or stop opposing offense. When in that mode, Necas doesn’t.

I don’t think that Necas has value in any system. He needs to be the playoff Necas to have value in the League.

So, Teuvo Teravainen, the OTHER Canes player who had 53 points last year, who signed as a free agent for $1,000,000 per year LESS than Necas, is now tied for 5th in the league in scoring on a pace for over 130 points this year.
