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

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?
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)

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.

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.

If anyone was wondering if Connor Bedard was worth all the hype, here’s your answer.

Freed from the shackles..it's amazing what can happen. TT, Nino, Trocheck...



Sounds like he was pushed out the door..the next video is him speaking about RBA

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

Are we going to act like TT didn't have similar success here? The problem wasn't that he couldn't put up points while attached to the best player on the respective team. It was that, if he wasn't attached to Aho, his production disappeared.

So if we wanted to have a successful line like the Jarvis - Aho - Guentzel one, that would put TT on our 2nd line, where he was essentially a non-factor.

Now maybe that doesn't happen in Chicago, but I'd wait until he doesn't have Bedard on his wing before complaining about his stifled production here
