Roster Building XIX - Did we blow the deadline? Need to ask the magic 8-ball

[TheBigLetowski]

Give me Brady Tkachuk or give me death.

 

[bleedgreen]

Why are we trying to diminish anything Necas does in the worlds?

 

[User13452]

So if they can somehow get Nikishin over here then the left side is set and maybe they re sign pesce and run him burns and morrow on the right side

The left side is set with Slavin, Orlov, Nikishin. But I wonder if Morrow starts the season in Raleigh if Nikishin comes over.

Slavin-Burns
Orlov-Pesce
Nikishin-Morrow??

Orlov-Morrow doesn't seem like a good idea. If you try Slavin-Morrow, that leaves Nikishin-Burns? Ugh.

If Nikishin comes over I think they bring in a veteran RD to pair with him and start Morrow in Chicago.

Aho is pleading the case for Guentzel

Yea I think a veteran right handed d man. That right side still looks a bit weak with burns declining

Aho knows if we don't keep Guentzel, we'll be spending the next 3-4 years looking for his replacement.

He knows the system...

Probably from the slash at the end of the Islanders series

They should know we won't have anyone near what Guentzel is also, 8 year contract and NMC for Guentzel, he gets his security and knows he will be with Aho for the life of the contract

That slash from the Islanders?

 

[ElmCityGuy]

I read a rumor about Necas to Buffalo for either Tage Thompson or Dylan Cozens. They are both in the 7 million range cap wise. Just curious on what folks think of either of those guys.

I'll leave that one to @sabremike. I've liked what I've seen out of those 2 when they play in PNC, but I have not seen enough of Buffalo to make an informed statement about how their style would mesh.

Thompson would be a pretty great get for Necas. I think we'd be adding. And I don't think he is really available, but fun to think about.

That has absolutely zero chance of happening.

Ah, that's the rub right there. There's what they SHOULD know, what they DO know, and what they DO with the knowledge they have. Which will probably be letting the player go and attempting to replace him with lesser parts or pieces that MIGHT eventually replace what we let go.

We've seen it with our 2nd line C, trying to replace Trocheck, and our offensive PP defenseman, trying to replace Hamilton.

My first thought is why would Buffalo do that?

Either player at a known $7.1M cap hit through 2030 might make more sense than dealing with the unknowns of arbitration or a bridge for Necas. But I don't see why Buffalo would unless they are just trying to shake up their locker room.

Tage in a heart beat for Necas.

 

[CanesUltimate11]

Might be looking to trade Nachos for a RH center. Stank is a righty

Plot Twist, Necas is the right handed center.

 

[MinJaBen]

Plot counter-Twist: Jarvis is the right handed center.

Bye Marty. When Waddell won't even give you a "I think we are 99% signing him" as an answer for an RFA/UFA, you aren't even being offered.

 

[AD Skinner]

Thompson is amazing- necas is good but if that is even remotely on the table I’ll pack necas’s apartment for him myself

I can't see any way in hell they trade Tage for Necas without a pretty significant add (and even then questionable)...though there is apparently debate about whether he's a reliable center (his FO % is about what Necas is)

Cozens, maybe with a decent add on Necas, IF they've really soured on him or are looking for a shakeup...but a young guy on a decent contract for an arbitration RFA who plays similar to Skins?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

When are we going to learn that whatever Waddell says to the media is not to be trusted?

Like when he said that a deal with Rod was all but done, when some pundits said it was taken off the table?
