Considering that this would be quite a drastic overpayment by the Canes, can’t see them doing this. Tkachuk isn’t much more than 80 point goon, and Necas likely tops out as a 70-80 point player in Carolina, with the potential to be a 90-100 point guy in a system that uses his strengths to their full extent. Is 10-15 points and a lot of goonery really worth a 1st+, especially when Necas would likely have a long term extension with the deal at a cheaper hit than Tkachuk? If this was M. Tkachuk, it would have been worth it, since he has an extra gear or 2 offensively, and he isn’t as useless defensively as Brady. It’s also why Necas was on the table when Matthew was being traded.
Only 4 years of Brady for 8.25 years of Necas, as well as a 1st +? Canes pass, and in all likelihood, Sens do as well since it wouldn’t be a drastic enough overpayment that they would like.
