I am guessing you believe that Bergevin is still MTL GM? Or you just made a stupid joke?Let me guess…Montreal signs Necas to a team friendly offer sheet which Carolina immediately accepts after 6 days and 23 hours.
Montreal won't, they be drafting early next year. Be a team player away from cupLet me guess…Montreal signs Necas to a team friendly offer sheet which Carolina immediately accepts after 6 days and 23 hours.
Yeah but you overlooked the possibility of someone getting a S Aho signed jersey as part of the deal. Could be the piece that puts it all over the top and puts balm on the animosity.Let me guess…Montreal signs Necas to a team friendly offer sheet which Carolina immediately accepts after 6 days and 23 hours.
Probably, but they've learned to not be petty and go after a player on the team that offersheets him and then get an absolute anchor of a contract and player.Let me guess…Montreal signs Necas to a team friendly offer sheet which Carolina immediately accepts after 6 days and 23 hours.
Carolina has shown they will match for a player they want. I think the reason you could theoretically expect an offersheet is Carolina doesn't actually want Necas.We’ve already shown we’d match so it would have to be a legit big offer. I love me some Necas but I don’t think a team would do that. If you did go big I doubt we’d match.
I would probably exclude Chicago, Montreal, LA, and Philly. The rest would probably all at least consider it. LA definitely can't afford, NYI and Minny probably can't either but I could see them making the roomPer CF, teams that can do a 123 offer sheet without having to reacquire any pick(s):
Buffalo
Chicago
Detroit
L.A.
Minnesota
Montreal
Nashville
New York Islanders
Philadelphia
Seattle
St. Louis
Utah
Washington
Carolina was an elite team in 2021. The Kotkaniemi pick had limited downside risk. A number of the above would be crazy to give up an unprotected 2025 1st for Necas.

The reason they haven't traded him is the think other teams view him as an impact top 6 forward, and want to be paid for that, but at the same time, the Hurricanes don't think he is that.
I don't expect an offersheet, but theoretically if you give him a contract that Carolina views as a "negative value" contract, you can undercut his perceived trade value in compensation.
Worked out good on the KK one eh....Let me guess…Montreal signs Necas to a team friendly offer sheet which Carolina immediately accepts after 6 days and 23 hours.
Any idea why? The kid doesn't like the coach?This is wrong. The Canes want to keep Necas and see him as quite valuable. It's the Necas camp who is requesting a trade.

Well the reason they haven’t traded him is mostly because we were all talking trade here based on one rumor that was apparently wrong. The Canes weren’t shopping him initially and were trying to work it out. Now over the last week or so it seems it’s game on. We’re still not even at the draft yet, so it’s not like this has dragged out really. They promised him a bigger role next season, so it wouldn’t shock me if they match. Obviously we need to see the details. If it’s short term high AAV they’d match. If it’s high AAV for mid term they probably match. If it’s high AAV for seven years they probably don’t, but then you’re stuck with Necas long term and we don’t know if he’s worth the big AAV really. Really big risk for a team. I think this is just smoke to make the off season interesting, or teams wondering such a concept just to get the price of a Necas trade down a bit.Carolina has shown they will match for a player they want.

At the low end, $6.8M? Sure.Even a reasonable 123 offer probably gets a match from Carolina.
7.5M * 7 = 52.5M.What would be the compensation for 7.5 x 7?
No way to know for sure.What would be the compensation for 7.5 x 7?
