How good is Necas's shot from those that watched him? I always read about him setting up in the PP Ovechkin slot and I see the highlights but then I go to the stats and see Necas only has 5 PPG last year. Less than Gauthier (9), Saarela (7), and Kuokkanen (6 in 48 games). Tied with Patrick Brown (5). One more than Jurco (4) scored in 33 games and one more than UDFA Nick Shilkey (4).
I shelled out for AHL-Live for the 2nd half of the Checkers season last year, and from the games I watched, it seemed that Necas has a decent shot from the left circle but he’s wildly inaccurate with it. And the amount of times he falls down while shooting is uncanny.However, I still think that’s his spot on one of the PP units this year.
I’m actually most excited about the addition of Haula to the PP. From highlights, he really seems to be able to whip the puck on net quickly when given room.
