Fair deal imo, might even favor Winnipeg if Necas doesn’t take that next step

This would be a step in the wrong direction for Carolina's contention aspirations.

I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious
Yeah, big no thanks from the Canes. Hope management continues to balk at that.

Come wit it now!
Makes sense. They can move some pieces out to upgrade. They have Jake Bean (2019-2020 AHL defenseman of the year) who looks NHL ready and i liked what i saw from Haydn Fleury once he got his ice time bumped up when Hamilton went on IR.
They have too many similar forwards so adding Laine would be a great add in my opinion.

Pesce ($4 million x 4 years) and Necas (ELC x 2 years) are two of the Canes better value contracts right now. Dealing both of them for an upcoming RFA looking to get his mega-contract (also arbitration eligible) doesn't work out Cap wise. Unless Laine comes with a pre-agreed, reasonable extension.
Pesce + one of Suzuki/Bokk/Bean/Keane
Necas + Skjei/Gardiner + a B prospect
Although I question the strategy behind building around 2 superstar wingers. And whatever Laine gets paid, Svechnikov will want more as I expect him to be the better player.

If Necas can become a top 6 player and sniff 50ish points which he was on pace to do, then I'd keep the CAR players all day everyday

Necas scored at a 46 point pace last year as a Rookie so I would think 50 is an attainable.
The real benefit to the Canes is the possibility that they could bridge Necas during their Cup window and have cheap secondary scoring. Laine is a beast but he will be making 2-3x Necas for the next 3-4 years at least.

I do not see CAR entertaining dealing Pesce, at all, even for a player like Laine, until there is resolution on a Hamilton extension. Pesce is their only long-term top 4 RD, signed very reasonably for the next 4 years.
IF they re-sign Hamilton to an extension, then perhaps you could think about dealing Pesce, but certainly not Pesce + Necas. Trading 2 extreme value contracts (Pesce at $4M x 4yr and 2 more years of ELC for Necas plus expansion draft exemption) for a mega contract to be (Laine needs new deal)is just stupid in a flat cap world, unless you’re getting a McDavid or the like.
You want Necas? Well, you need to take Skjei or Niederreiter and you’re not getting Pesce. You want Pesce? You’re not getting Necas.

Sounds like a trade that both fan bases hate. Probably bang on.

I like this as a Jets fan lol
As a Jets fan, this is the sort of deal I'd be looking for. I don't think it makes sense for the Canes though. If they hadn't gotten Svech it probably would, but as it stands their top line is already set and with new contracts next year for both Svech and Hamilton I don't see how they could fit Laine without losing substantial depth. In an ideal world they currently have the depth to make this sort of deal, but the cap ramifications likely kill it.

Except it’s the rumor that CAR thinks the price is ridiculous, so um yeah, Laine not worth that. It seems the Canes’ front office agrees.

Top 3 RD locked up for another 4 years @ $4.025 mil, capable of 25-30pts
Top 6 player at 863k for 2 more years (likely gets around 4-5 mil on next deal, capable of 20ish goals and 50-60pts
Vs
Top line RW making 9 mil or more soon, capable of 35-40 goals and 70-80pts, maybe he can hit 90 once or twice if paired with Aho.
Basically getting two really good players vs one, next two years are cheaper than Laine is now and will be roughly the same cost or cheaper for 2 years after that.
Easy choice imo, Laine is good but he's not a top 3 D + 2nd line winger good right now
Plus CAR already has a top line wing in Svech
Feel like there's a deal to be made based around Laine for Pesce + Jarvis + a replacement forward.

Depends on how highly you think of Necas. If he continues to improve, then how much are the Canes improving by adding Laine? Is it worth losing Necas and Pesce?
