I've said my piece on Necas trades but at the risk of sounding like a broken record, what incentive is there for Carolina to make that trade? I'm sure that value wise, looking at comps, it's a fair trade - probably even an overpay. Why would Carolina take a fair trade value on Necas? A late first in a weak draft, an early/mid first in a stronger draft a year later, a 3rd pairing defenseman, and a player who won't crack the roster for 2+ years don't really help a team that is competing right now. What does help said team is a dynamic top6 forward, and that's what Necas is.
If Necas's next contract demands are outrageous or he wants to leave then the value will be significantly less than this, but for right now, operating on the assumption the Canes want to re-sign him, this trade does not interest the Canes.
