Canes aren’t trading Necas. Fiala would be a nice add, but it won’t be worth selling Necas, who is at his lowest point value wise. Besides, Canes could go after Forsberg in FA if he doesn’t sign with Nashville. Miller is a pointless addition as we can just bring up Chatfield. Plus, I have had conversations with a few Canucks fans recently that were ok with a package of Bear, Bokk, Suzuki, and a first for JT Miller half retained. If the Cabes can do that, why would they need a 2nd and a 3rd when they are trying to win now?
Kulikov would be a nice add, but Smith has done a really good job in that role, for a bit cheaper. No need to make the position more expensive if we don’t have to. Namestnikov would be a solid Nino replacement, but I think Nino takes a discount to stay and play with Staal and Fast. No need to sign Hayden with Stepan very likely coming back at about the same price. If the Canes are giving DeAngelo a 1 year deal, it won’t be for 5mil. A 2x2 or 3x3 contract are very much more likely to occur, and for a 1 year deal, probably 1x1.5-2.
