Friedman: Canes likely moving on from Necas.

[P10p]

Rossi for Necas ep. 2

 

[dgibb10]

Comps for other not quite star pending RFAs

Sam Reinhart trade
Kevin Fiala trade
Jacob Trouba
Debrincat to detroit

mid-to-late 1st+quality prospect (not blue chip tho) is what I expect, assuming it is a futures package.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Looking at comparables on Carolina, I'm guessing he would want something similar to Svechnikov's 8y, $7.75M. Especially since a long-term deal would buy out more UFA years than it did for Svechnikov at 20 and the cap is only going up.

If Carolina has to choose how to allocate cap among Guentzel, Jarvis, and Necas, Necas could be the odd man out.

But he also should be able to return something Carolina would need this offseason (2C, top 4 RD) with more team control.

If the offer is picks & prospects, Carolina would be better served taking Necas to arbitration.

Terry got 7.000 x 7 after 61pts
Hagel got 6.500 x 8 after 64pts
Tippett got 6.200 x 8 after 49pts

Those seem more in line with what Necas deserves than Sveshnikov's deal IMO

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Terry got 7.000 x 7 after 61pts
Hagel got 6.500 x 8 after 64pts
Tippett got 6.200 x 8 after 49pts

Those seem more in line with what Necas deserves than Sveshnikov's deal IMO

Cap is going up though, gotta account for inflation.

 

[WingsToPick4th]

I would Trade Jake Walman and Jonatan Berggren + a pick for Necas.

Debrincat - Necas - Kane would be fun

Canes get Cheap LHD signed for 2 more years who’s good and young, and a top 6 winger who is gonnna cost 1-1.5 million and has solid potential and can play right now.

 

[Chrispy]

Hagel and Terry I can see comparisons. Tippett seems low for Necas's offensive production (63 point pace in 2021 season; 71 points in 2022-23)

Add in a rising cap for the first time in a while, and I think mid-7 is likely on a long-term deal.

Edit: oops, quoted wrong post.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

I would put money on Nashville. He wants to play center, they want a top 6 center. Nashville has lots of assets to form a competitive package for him, including multiple NHL ready ones.

Wings same position, Necas age fits the core perfectly and Detroit could probably offer a better package and have needed a 2C for like 10 years lol.

Isn’t he bad at faceoffs? Never knew he played C

 

[Nabrules]

Farabee and FLAs pick?

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Laine for Necas?

Yes. Absolutely terrible. They've supposedly even had Staal work with him on them and it doesn't get better.

He was drafted as a C, was moved to RW his first season in the AHL, has been vocalizing a persistent desire to move back to C ever since, says he's not comfortable on the wing.

RBA won't consider playing him in the center because of his bad face-offs and inability to play the defensive role of centers in the Canes system.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Laine for Necas?

Nah. 1 dimensionals don’t work here

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

CBJ should definitely look into this

Every team should look into this, they are making a mistake

 

[HabsAddict]

Necas will be the 10 million dollar man. I don't see the Habs taking a run at him. He will be hitting his late 20s and early 30s by the time we want to compete.

 

[Legion34]

Can he play c?

 

[OKR]

Can he play c?

Canes are playing 35 year old, 30 points in a season Jordan Staal as their 2C and acquired Kotkaniemi and Kutznetsov in search for a center while having him on the roster, that’s about says it all.

Rumours of him wanting to play center, be paid like a top 6 center and not locking down a centre spot on a team with dire need of a 2C is gonna make teams wary, even tho he is a good player.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Laine for Necas?

BJs need to add and retain. But it would enhance Canes‘ LTIR game.

 

[Cancuks]

Hronek for Necas

 

[Junohockeyfan]

What will his demands be for salary? Seems like 8.5M on a 7 year deal would be ballpark?

 

[WingsToPick4th]

Don’t think he’s worth 8.5 as a winger on a long term deal, especially If he can’t win faceoffs and wants to play C. Larkin makes 8.7 as a comparable

 

[JKG33]

Necas always seemed kinda overrated, never understood the hype. Carolina would be smart to put their money towards keeping Guentzal and keeping the D together

Dubois is a comparable as well!

True but those 3 signed in 2023-24, and the cap only went up 4%. Even if we add 4% to the highest one (Terry), you get to about 7.250. That should be the absolute high-end of the spectrum IMO.

To me, he seems like a 60-65pt guy which should net 6.500 to 7.000 on a long term deal at his age.

He deserves more than Tippett but less than Svesh either way IMO.

 

[newsportsfan123]

I see a lot of other fan bases overrating Necas, maybe he can be a 80 point forward on another team but he’s not worth if hes asking more than 7 million.
