That Necas deal is a little too rich for my taste. If NSH does move Saros, I wouldn't mind moving him as part of a deal for Necas, but that is a bit too rich for me personally. I'm also not opposed to Andersen as part of that deal considering he has the experience, but if NSH does that then NSH needs to be confident that Askarov can play at least 25-30 games next season.
I'm not really certain why we move on from Novak. I've been all onboard with L'Heuruex getting his shot next season, but since this was his first year as a pro, I'd rather give him one more year in the AHL and have Novak there instead, even though that line would be really fun to watch, I think it would be equally as fun watching Novak there as well.
Lastly, I can't see Stamkos leaving TBL. I think he likely takes a team-friendly deal to stay in TBL for 1-2 more years and then retires alongside McDonagh.
