Calling BS after being proven wrong is a strange take.
The trade didn’t go through because Necas wouldn’t sign with the Blue Jackets.
~35:00
Per Seravalli, Necas wouldn't sign an extension in Columbus and the deal (for 4OA) died as a result.
If Necas gets traded for anything close to 4th overall I'm happy to eat my words.
But every historical comp suggests he isn't worth anything close to that.
Even if you think he's a PPG guy that's still ridiculous.Waddell knows Necas really well obviously. His skating and ability to make plays at that high pace is quite rare. Fans/pundits just see his statline, but that was surpressed by PP usage. If Waddell sees him as a PPG type in a different situation, it's not unfathomable. The contract presumably would have been long-term starting at 25.
Alex Debrincat actually WAS a ppg guy, and a 40+ goal guy. He didn't get 4th overall.
