Necas is not worth $7.5 million aav.

Hes worth less? Below 7M AAV?

Nadeau makes a lot of sense as a in house replacement for Guentzel if he walks. He has a great shot and a lot of potential. I think putting him with talented playmakers like Aho and Jarvis could do a lot of good.

I’d probably sign Jarvis to that, Necas not so much. I got a feeling they’re gonna draw a hard line with what they’re willing to give Necas, and he’ll end up getting dealt. They have Blake who you’re playing above him and I’d hope they’d get another decent forward prospect in return.

Bringing back Skjei doesn’t make sense bc we have Orlov and then Nikishin coming after next year. We’d either be paying a 3rd pair defenseman 6 mil or forcing a rookie with 1st pair potential to the 3rd pair. But I do agree that just letting both walk without doing anything about it is a bad idea. I would rather pick up a short term replacement for Pesce to round out the top 4. (Tanev maybe?)

Lindholm would be a great fit (been saying that for the past like 2 years now) despite his down year. I do feel like some GM is gonna be dumb enough to give him over 7 long term, but I don’t mind 6x6 if we can get that done or something around that. Stephenson could also be a target, I think he would be a good fit as well.

As a sharks fan I want nothing to do with that JK contract, he just hasn’t earned it for me and maybe he explodes here but more than likely he regresses with a weaker supporting cast abd just ends up blocking a younger better prospect from making the team. Sorry but even if you add picks I would still pass
