Thread: The Call for 2RC Is Coming From Inside The House
I’d be open to Necas at 2C (I feel like that’s what it’s gonna take to convince him to stay). I just don’t know if Rod thinks he would be a fit. If he did, he would have been the 2C last season. He’s below average on defense and not great at faceoffs. Just doesn’t fit the bill for a Brind’Amour type center. If they can’t find a deal for him, they should suck it up and try him at 2C and find a good winger to be with him.

Kid line is a really interesting idea. I think Suzuki still has some upside, he just hasn’t been able to catch a break with injuries. If all goes well that line could be electric. Size is a concern on that line though.

I’m high on Chatfield but I just don’t know how well that 3rd pair would pan out. He’s good but he’s no Slavin and Tony’s stats from his first tenure with the team and this past year speak for themselves. He’s SO much better when he’s stapled to Slavin. Think we’re better off signing a cheap defensive LD and running a more shutdown pair.

Thread: mathesons value apparently
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Black61</b></div><div>Necas isnt a C lets stop with this blatant lie. Hes been in the NHL for 5 full seasons and doesnt even have 900 faceoffs total and has never even his 500 in a season.Hes a winger.

He finished 9 points behind matheson this year while getting over 2mins of pp time per game. Again as a forward.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Played C in the postseason, SUCKS in the dot so he doesn't take draws, but plays C between whistles. He finished 9 points behind Matheson playing 700 fewer minutes AND outproduced him 5v5, again, while not playing top PP time. Necas &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; It's not close</div></div>

Not only that but it’s just the canes needs. They’re not gonna trade a 25 year old top 6 winger (when they already need forwards as it is) for a 30 year old LHD that’s had just one full year of that production. They have Slavin and Orlov already and Nikishin will be joining the team by the end of the season. They’re not gonna pay up what Habs fans expect for a player who’s gonna play their 3rd pair for the bulk of his time here. A reason he had such an impressive season offensively was because he was getting a ton of ice time. He’s just not gonna get that in Carolina and he’ll probably return to his usual 30-40 point pace at best like he was prior to going to Montreal. I’m sure he can get a 1st+ from a team who actually needs left handed defenders, but it won’t be the Canes and they sure as hell won’t be moving Necas for him. I’ve never understood the obsession with sending him to the Canes.
