Uh, uh, uh he woulda, he shoulda, he coulda. Give me a break. He's not worth anything near what you're claiming. Hell, Eichel didn't get as much as you're talking about. Temper your silly expectations or be hilariously disappointed.

I'm a big Necas fan, but Necas plays on a much better team, with better linemates and much better defensemen. Raymond doesn't play with Larkin all the time (see Compher), and definitely doesn't play with Cat (see Kane).

Just turned 22 and already outscoring Necas. Raymond + for Necas would be an L for Detroit.

Okay, so is Kane not better than Teravainen now? Is Compher worse than Kuznetsov or Kotkaniemi? All season, Necas has very rarely played with Aho, usually when chasing the game. Necas is still doing this in a system that kills individual talent. So, system, linemates favor Raymond, he gets PP1 time (usually) where Necas doesn't... Necas is the better skater... this is the entire point around production arguments. You can't just argue "more points better player". While Carolina's defensemen are better, they're better defensively. Ghost is outscoring anyone on Carolina's backend alone.

Eichel needed spinal disk replacement... Necas is an RFA and the Canes have more leverage...

Why does everyone jump to team? Raymond has a better quality of teammate, unless you want to say Kuznetsov, Kotkaniemi and Tervaianen are as good as Cat and Larkin... Necas doesn't get top PP time because he's the one that has to bring the puck in on the second unit since he is an ELITE zone entry man. Necas is also HANDS DOWN the better skater between him and Raymond, which is much more praising of Necas than it is a shot at Raymond because he's not bad himself. You're adding to Raymond for Necas. It's not a lot, but consider Necas does this while also playing in a system that strangles offensive talent.

Raymond doesn't play with Kane or Cat, what are you missing? He's centered by Larkin or Compher and can be seen on a line with Rasmussen at times. Keep trying.

You're exhausting, and just wrong.

Leverage with who? Like I said prepare to be disappointed.

Nah bruh, I heard KK is a high end 3C at worst!!!

So Compher's a mediocre 3C? Okay!

That'd be weird math considering he has as many assists as KK does points overall.

So, what does your original comment have to do with anything? KK's a good 3C, Compher's a 2C... that means Compher is a better player... what was the point behind talking about Kotkaniemi then

Probably because you brought up KK as a linemate of Necas...

Rocket science, I know.

He was! So what was your point in commenting? Just because you like seeing your own name? That's sad brother, and I truly hope you're doing okay.

I dunno bud, you're the one that said KK is a high end 3C at worst but now suddenly he's a suboptimal linemate for Necas.

Necas isn't a 3rd line player... Kotkaniemi is a high end 3rd line player... are you okay? Are you having an aneurism or something? Usually you can at least understand points, but you seem to be struggling today. Just one of those days? I hope it's nothing more serious

Joe Veleno is also a high end third line player. Hoping we throw a $40M contract at him this summer!

Veleno should not be on a 3rd line, but okay!
