why wouldnt LAK just get Chychrun then?

Because Necas is a more pressing need for them, I think. Chychrun's already-inked and cost-controlled contract is also far more valuable to Carolina's context than for Los Angeles.

This couldn't be more than false if you tried.

LA either needs a young top 4 left handed defenceman, or a more grittier top 6 player to replace Brown.. Necas is neither of those.

Kings decline and go get Chychrun for that price if they had to.

we are robbing to pay paul with this. Our offensive depth would take a hit with little cap space to add. Maybe if we got Crouse in the deal too.

It is not, Rob Blake has openly said top-pair LD is his main add for a few years.

Exactly! We’re not trading Necas

i wouldnt go that far, if the contract negotiations arent going well as rumored

If Necas and Skjei are worth that much, why don't you just cut out the middleman and buy Chychrun yourselves?

It makes no sense for us to trade you Turcotte and Vilardi, either of whom might turn out to be better than Necas, and Bjornfot and the first, either of whom might be better than Skjei. We'll stand pat.

Where did you hear that rumor?

Adam Gold. take it with a grain of salt but he was right about Ned. so who knows.

Lebrun says they made progress recently, in the same piece he says they've got movement on the KK extension, and they've tried to re-open talks on Trocheck.

do you have a link to a tweet, or was this on-air?

It was one of his podcast.

He said nothing about Necas. KK and tro were the only ones mentioned.

That’s what I’m saying. Arizona would def be interested in Necas

I think necas gets 7 x 6.75. KK gets another bridge

I think KK gets a 3-4 year deal. Idk about Necas. Necas will want a bridge because he hasn’t done well this season. Canes will want to go 7 or 8 but I don’t think it will be that much. We’ll see
