Description

Based on this string of college signings lately, it seems like two probabilities are lining up, the first being they've likely come to an agreement to sign with an AHL team (likely AHL Chicago once again) even though it's not publicly announced, and secondly, they're planning on at least two (Morrow, Nadeau) of these young players grabbing roster spots in the coming year so they can get around the cap squeeze from resigning bigger pending UFAs for this upcoming season. Based on Friedman's comments on 32 Thoughts yesterday, it sounds like Pesce is likely gone, Skjei received multiple "unique" offers from the team and has yet to make a decision to stay or test the market, and Chatfield has been on and off throughout the year dating back to last offseason. On the RFA side he had some speculation that Necas is "going to come to an end this summer" likely indicating that given he'll have Arb rights and has been rumored past trade involvement, he's likely gone at the end of this season and ideally for the Canes to a western conference team.

Given these rumblings, I've got a couple questions to pose:

What "unique" offers could've been proposed to Skjei to keep him? I'm guessing high dollar short term but want to get other takes on that.
Who are the most likely trade suitors for Necas?
And lastly, which prospects have the best chance at making the roster given how many spots will likely be up for grabs next season?

We aren’t signing all these college guys to play next year. They are here to play in 25-26 when our core gets really expensive

That's pretty good value to get JK, but I can't see the Hawks having any interest in that contract. An underperforming player w/ 6 years left is the exact type of contract the Hawks want to avoid.

Man are Canes fans going to be disappointed by the Necas return, I don't think they should trade him but you're not getting this return if you do
