Listen, Necas is an extremely talented player and I would like the Canes to re-sign him. However, if real GMs in the NHL value him as highly as ACGMs on CF do, he will be moved without hesitation by the Canes.

Intriguing FLA trade; but, I don't think FLA moves away from Knight for that little.
SJ, nor any team, is going to commit an act of charity for CBJ and take on Elvis for that little. Any good GM is going to make it hurt. I'd be willing to retain and ship him off elsewhere (I mean, I guess maybe SJ or AZ take him on just to hit the cap floor?), but still dont think CBJ get off so easily.
I'm not so sold on Necas. I'd have concern on his ability to produce outside of CAR's system, and throwing that much term and dollars at him before putting on a CBJ sweater would make me nervous. Not to mention, I'm not moving the '25 1st without heavy protections. This is a better team, sure, but I'm not comfortable calling this a playoff team yet.

I’m curious to see canes fans response. A Necas trade would hurt but this seems like a ton to give up. I really don’t like the idea of moving chinakhov, but I’m sure the canes would demand he or marchenko be apart of the move.
Personally I would rather stay the course, move provorov at the draft for a first and roll with a similar forward group next year with maybe the addition of a top 6 center (lindholm, monahan etc) that can be had in free agency.
Overall pretty well thought out. Nice job.

This is something Carolina probably don't even listen to. IF (and it is an if) Necas goes anywhere, it's going to be for an offensive upgrade. Columbus don't have that. Otherwise, it's going to be EXTREMELY expensive. I'm talking more along the lines of Johnson, Sillinger and Chinakov instead of Chinakov, Ceulemans, and a cap dump. You have to understand, the picks don't interest Carolina. This is a team that knows it's not far away from a cup. You're buying from a contender, so the major attraction will be pieces that help the roster win now

Pretty sure the Canes would rather have Marchenko than Chinakhov. Package as it stands doesn’t really help the Canes that much right now when it comes to replacing Necas’ offense. CC is a decent prospect, but I have my doubts on whether or not he will be any better than Jake Bean. Provorov at 2 and change would be decent for a 3LD role, but if I had to hazard a guess, that would be why the Canes picked up Ty Smith in the Guentzel trade.
The Canes have enough cap flexibility to sign Necas, as well as Jarvis and Guentzel, so it’s unlikely they move Necas without being blown away by an offer.
It seems to me that the offer is too much (for Columbus) of the wrong things (for Carolina). I love Marchenko, I think he's very valuable to Columbus, but I also think that Necas would bring a lot to Columbus. I'd be willing to include Marchenko, but that really hurts and would significantly reduce the Columbus side of the trade. Would Marchenko + Boqvist (young offensive RD) + a 2nd be a more reasonable price for either side? It's a much smaller offer, but maybe tailored more towards Carolina's needs and Marchenko is a very valuable player to side. Assuming, of course, that the Hurricanes even entertain the thought of trading Necas.
