Ducks Target Necas

I don't frankly think Necas is that good. He's fast, and he can score, but he doesn't drive play, he doesn't do much defensively, and his hockey IQ doesn't wow either. His success seems mostly driven by being fast enough to be in the right place for his center to dish him the puck to score easy goals.

Not saying that isn't what Vatrano also did to hit 37, but I don't think I'd give Necas over 6 mil AAV, he's a complimentary scorer.

Montreal will likely gonna come back with a stronger offer than that.

He would be similar situation to Dubois in he will cost to much to obtain and cost to much to retain than the production he would bring

I’m fully with these takes. At his current $3M deal he’s a steal. But what he’ll negotiate is going to be regrettable for whatever team offers it imo.

One of the only negative +/- Canes despite >60% of his shifts starting in the offensive zone. Negative relative advanced stats across the board. Giveaways 2x vs takeaways. Awful in the face off circle. I’d absolutely prefer ANA to look elsewhere

Ottawa accepts very fast
