Checkers IV: Insert Witty Title Here

[GettingYourMoms]

You’re misunderstanding me. It’s not the fact that you want to know - it’s how you went about asking.

I am just pissed, that our media portraying him like he is next Jagr.

 

[FreshSeabass]

Maybe because i am interested why he isnt playing in nhl? Maybe because i am Czech and i want to know more about our players?

Why isn't Zadina playing in the NHL is he bust?

 

[SaskCanesFan]

Has Necas really cooled off the past couple weeks? I thought he was around PPG a while ago

 

[Primetime8]

Red Wings are my #2 team (they were my number 1 until a few years after I moved here) and I without a doubt still think Necas is the better prospect. Zadina is going to be a 35/35 winger if he continues his development path which is great, but I think Necas has the potential to be a PPG solid 2-way center in the NHL.

 

[Canes]

The thing with Necas is that he's still getting used to the North American style of game. Although Svechnikov is more talented which helped him make the jump quicker, he had been in North America for several years prior to being drafted. I think Necas will be fine in 1-2 seasons.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Guys how is Necas looking? He is already 20yo and still dont play in nhl is he bust?

Seriously? You're asking if a 20 year old in his first professional season playing in the AHL (and putting up solid numbers) is a bust? If that's the metric probably 95% of the NHL is filled with "busts"...I can't feel too bad with the responses you've received given the question and metrics used.

LMAO it is also the exact same metrics that would classify his beloved Zadina a bust as well.

 

[FreshSeabass]

Two stat lines. Both of these players are in their first Professional season one is 19 one is 20. One has 2 NHL points the other has 0 NHL points.
45gp - 15G - 16A - 31P
45GP - 9G - 22A - 31P

What if i told you one of these players is a bust?

 

[Primetime8]

No no guys. Zadina has been better over the last 10 games. The most recent 10 games determines if you're a bust or not. Keep up.

I think both are fine prospects, and both will end up being good NHL players.

Yeah I'm not worried about him. I do feel he's a bit like Lindholm as far as coming over to NA not physically developed and needing to get used to the game. Wouldn't surprise me if it takes him longer than most to really reach his ceiling. Hopefully everyone is patient.

Necas is the only one in the conversation trying to break into the league as a center. It's much harder than playing wing. I don't think there's a bit of difference between Svech and Necas that can't be summed up by "more is expected defensively from Necas than Svech, and Necas wasn't ready for that." Ditto Zadina.

Also, Necas was ill and missed two games last weekend.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I am just pissed, that our media portraying him like he is next Jagr.

So when media doesn’t prop up my favorite prospect, I should go be a dick on another teams forum? Is that what we are learning here?

Another game another victory. Keep winning boys!

I was going to mention this but we've been experimenting with Necas at wing. I think he'll eventually move back to center but he could take the Aho route.

Checkers r gud. 8-1 win.

 

[Vagrant]

would really like it if necas and jurco develop some chemistry that results in us signing jurco. have always felt like he's been an opportunity away at times even with all the nhl time he received.
