The players aren't the problem I'm just not sure this is the best direction to go for Seattle, I believe tanking is a much better option hockey wise for Seattle, I do like the Necas trade tho, and for both side Gourde is really good and you talk about Borgen as depth RD but he had pretty analytics for the short time he played so if DeAngelo walks he could find a 3rd pairing role in Carolina and Necas hasn't put it all together just yet and I could see Carolina moving him.

Not enough ex-Pens, you only have 5. Should really add some more, maybe Zucker and Dumo. Kidding of course.

Canes pass, although the value isn't bad.

Carolina have Kotkaniemi to replace Trocheck and if they wanted a RH center, Necas could do that himself. They'll likely take Necas and try to make him the centerpiece of a trade for someone like DeBrincat

Decline. We gave up Hallander in the McCann trade and in this case would be silly to trade him for less value than we received.

Francis making a big splash in UFA, laughs in Hurricane.

Pass on the Necas deal
