Well, you work through this like it's as video game, so it's hard to have a conversation with someone like that.

Getting Pac for nothing was a great get, but it's put them in a tough situation.

Truth

Kinda surprised they kept Bear around. Another trade candidate.

Why wouldn’t work exactly as a laid out? It’s not as if you need player permission to buy out a player or waive them. How is that not simple?

Don’t make up problems that can be easily solved.

Do you know the roster requirements?

12 forwards, 6D and 2 goalies, 23 max.

Directly from NHL.com:

“Each Club must have a roster of at least 20 players, composed of 18 skaters and two goaltenders.”

You don’t have to carry more than 20. Doing exactly what I’ve described nets the Canes 3.595M in space, 11 F, 6D, 2 goalies and enough to sign the 12th F in Necas.

For a 3rd time, no chance the Canes deal
Necas for futures.

Is it ideal to only carry 20players, No. But it’s doable.

LOL

So what do you do when a player is injured and not on LTIR? Are you aware there are limits on emergency call-ups?

You also suggested sending THREE players down on a roster that is currently at 20.

You suggested sending THREE players down on currently a 20 player roster.

There are limitations on emergency call-ups.

I'm the dolt? I don't think so, bud.

Can you not count?

Gardiner is 1.

Coghlan OR Chatfield is 2.

Geez.

Oh no!!! It was two instead of three?!?!? So you're still sending down TWO players from a 20 man roster? You clearly don't know roster requirements. By doing this, you violate them.

Learn hockey.

Oh, and for a 5th time, no chance they deal Necas for futures

Wrong.

I’ll have to use a diagram for you I guess. Hopefully you can follow along:

Svechnikov-Aho-Jarvis
Pacioretty-Kotkaniemi-Necas @ $3.5M
Teravainen-Staal-Fast
Martinook-Drury-Kase

Slavin-Burns
Pesce-Bear
Skjei-Coghlan

Andersen
Raanta

There’s 20, cap compliant.

For a 6th time, no chance Necas is dealt for futures

Wrong again. You're still not getting it. They're not going into the season with a 20 man roster.

You’re hopeless. It’s been spelled out for you.

Give up.

They’d do that before giving up Necas for futures.

I think that might be the 7th time…

No, you're simply wrong. They are not going into the season with only 20 players. Just not happening.

For an 8th time, they would likely rather do that, to keep Necas, than trade him for futures.

You can tell me a hundred times, but that doesn't mean anything. YOU don't work for the Canes. You are not a Canes insider. You do not work for the NHL or any sports publication. You know NOTHING.

Sure, they may ultimately keep him or trade him as part of a bigger deal, but they will still need a larger roster to start the season and will have a lot of REAL work to make that happen. Not that nonsense you're suggesting. If they don't move him futures, it still won't mean it wasn't a possibility.

Right, they’ll likely just buy out Gardiner, problem solved.

However, what you don’t get is that trading Necas for futures makes zero sense for them and they would very likely move heaven and earth to not have to do such. Point being, they don’t have to move heaven and earth or ever consider the ridiculous notion of trading Necas for futures, just start the season off with a skeleton crew.

This explanation is not based in any sense of reality. It's passed your bed time, little boy.

Might have to leave an LoL here.

Reason doesn’t sit well with this one

No, you just don't understand the reality of how things work in the NHL. Go back to playing video games.
