What would a trade of Necas for Chychryn look like? He could be the Burns replacement after next season to play with Slavin
Personally I think the Canes need to make a move THIS year for a d-man to pair with Slavin UNLESS Burns was playing hurt. He really fell off the last quarter of the year. Keep Burns for 3rd line. Of course I don't know if there was an injury or if the salary cap will allow another d-man to pair with Slavin.

Konecny is a pure winger as far as I've ever watched. Maybe they think he'd have a better chance to transition over to center, but we might just move Jarvis over at that point given the age. I'd still take Konecny because I've wanted him for years and think he'd fit quite well. Obviously, both sides would want to likely have some idea of the long term signability of each guy.

I was thinking of him as a 4C upgrade with size and RHedness lol. All of you guys are overreacting to my suggestion; I never said that he would play on our 2nd line or anything like that. Any Necas package would have to include a 1st round pick, at least. I was thinking about accessory adds to that.
not really. Dude's just a bad idea that carries negative value in a potential Necas trade. The kind of thing where if we want to trade Necas for Crouse+ instead of say Kerfoot+ we have to agree to take Bjug's contract as well.

yep. Not sure where all that TK at center talk was coming from, have never seen him play that position since he got to the league. He'd still be the perfect kind of player to bring in as a return if we are indeed cutting bait with Necas instead of trying him at center, which is something I've been screaming to see for a couple years now.

Bring in Konecny for futures, especially if they can't reach a deal with Guentzel.

Qualify Necas, work out a single year deal or deal with arbitration.

Let Necas and Jarvis have a shot at playing C in camp. The winner gets 2C, and you still have Kuznetsov as a backup plan if neither of them can play there.

Jarvis is morphing towards a Center. RBA thinks the world of him and has been giving him more and more opportunity on special teams Etc. I’m thinking he is our future 2C….now need to replace him with a quality winger

I certainly think there's a chance. I do think in a perfect world they rather go out and acquire a ready-made, sure fire second line right handed center. But I think that Jarvis has a lot of qualities that could lead to him being a center. More than I've ever seen out of Necas. It's hard to say if Brindy feels the same way for sure. Ultimately, I do think way more guys fail trying to make that transition than succeed.

Yeah, that would never happen. Jordan Staal has that role locked up until he retires.

I have a suspicion that Slavin's future D partner post-Burns is probably Scott Morrow.

If we bring in an RHD, it'll be someone younger with some tread on the tires, with an eye/projection toward a Nikishin partner.

Edit: Younger as under-26, not younger than Chychrun who is...26. I just don't know if Boom-Chych would be a good pairing.

KK's just doesn't work that hard. Half the time he's either looking lost or like he doesn't care. Number one rule of RBA's team is you have to work. KK's fake it till you make it has run out. I love the kid, but he'll never be a 2C on this team.
Did you watch any of the playoffs? Kid was usually the hardest worker on the ice and fans of both the Rags and Isles wonder out loud how he had barely any points. He was pretty good in both series.

every game. KK did not distinguish himself in either round. he's slow and a lazy skater. I want the kid to work out, trust me, but my eyes are not betraying me on him. His play was really bad this season. No jump, no confidence in carrying the puck and slow to react or position himself on D. It looked like he was paying hurt or had zero confidence for much of the year. Fearful of making a mistake kind of thing.

I thought the same thing these playoffs. MartyParty and Jordo certainly teaches guys like him and Drury to play the right way. As I stated above, though, the question for the Canes, as far as KK concerned, is timeline. Do they have the luxury to have such a young player project like him in the current balls-to-the-wall contention situation, especially considering the current cap hit and the offensive struggles? That's a really tough question, but the age, flashes of great defensive play, and size is tantalizing as far as projection is concerned.

Lol, local paper did a hot take on "The six million dollar target".

Not to make too much out of it, but Kotkaniemi is painted as a victim of the pure ego trip by Dundon, who has let on on several occasions that he's the smartest cat in the room and who, per insider sources, furious of Monteal's attempt to rob Aho effectively ordered Carolina to offersheet Kotkaniemi.

lol, Did it origin out of Montreal?

Hard to see KK as a victim given his contracts at Catolina.

He doesnt play big though. But as a replacement for Burns, sure. I think Sens would have to add to this trade. I am not high on him.

I think Canes should go pickup Brossoit, who, at least to my eye test, outplayed Hellebuyck, he just looked much more agile. He is a solid 1a/1b goalie, and I doubt his contract will scare anyone away. I'd run with him next playoffs.

Necas for Ehlers, if you can get Ehlers on a fair contract, might make sense, 1 for 1. Ehlers has the best plus minus stat on the Jets for a reason, +27 for the whole season, without playing on the pp, usually slotted on the 2nd line. He usually makes other players better by creating space, a bit of an agent of chaos, has the best zone entries, but they cant be too slow on the rush. And there needs to be some turnovers he can take advantage of with his speed.

I think Rod can get a lot more out of his speed and tenacity. Rod does need to coach some turnovers out of his game, without killing his creativity, which i think he is the guy for. And from reports Canes has had their eyes on him for a while. If he is willing to sign long term, at a fair rate, I think there is a deal to be made. His full potential needs to be unlocked, seeing the Jets dont think he will re-sign there, or else I doubt he would be available.

Jesperi's hometown paper. The onus, I guess, is that KK's career has not been going forward in the gamewise sense, and apparently that's the fault of the fragile ego billionnaire who gave him a contract offer, or so the writer wants to portray it, kind of.
