Quoting: Caniac2000
Considering Necas has outproduced Caufield every year of their careers, and only has 3 points less in 3 fewer games this year, I'd say it's fair an ask from Carolina for Necas starts with Caufield. Montreal may not want to, and that is their right, but this doesn't get close
Nowhere did anyone say anything close to whatever this who bit was about .
I just said Suzuki's out but Caufield value wise i'd consider but i dont want Necas
While i see his value and i might move Caufield in a bigger trade
Necas isnt someone i see MSL prioritizing and he 100% has his favorites with a single flaw as a coach
MSL is all in on 2-3 players at a time the rest get delegated a lot of the time to other coaches primarily
While MSL still deals with all his players and they love him its Suzuki, Slafkovsky and Dach he prioritizes above the rest
With good reason too just look at their progress
Never said i wouldnt pay Caufield for Necas just that i didnt want Necas and a 3rd Party would have to be involved.
I think you're misunderstanding WHY i dont want Necas and its simply he doesnt fit our systems needs
Nor are we going to pay him more then Suzuki as Players , Coaches and Management Committed to building a contender of Peers and did it Publicly.
Just too many reasons why.
Where as the reason i suggesting Lafreniere is he's one of the rare players who would take less in MTL while thriving to be the Damphousse of this Era bringing home Cup #25. He just fits our needs a lot better in many ways while NYR is a Star Studded team with Tons of Fan Fair without a fraction of the media negativity MTL Players endure. It just made the most sense if Caufield was heading to CAR in any scenario from MTL POV
Also if i thought this trade was close or liked it we wouldnt be discussing Caufield would we?
