Canes decline. Bad fit for Kulak, better, cheaper alternatives. Also, a 2nd is WAY too much. A 3rd if you're lucky, more likely a 4th for a 3rd pairing D man like that

Necas to Vancouver
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cooliny</b></div><div>They would like to see what they have with Lekkerimäki before trading him for someone who will cost $6M+. Hoglander isn’t anything special? You just said he’s the equivalent of a 1st</div></div>
No, I said I'd be willing to lower the price to Hoglander instead of the 1st, Hoglander isn't anything special.
They want to see what Lekkerimaki is, but they also know they need a genuine linemate for EP40, hence the longstanding interest in Necas. Now Necas has broken out, it's going to cost more, but that's why Vancouver listened when Necas was thrown out there in a package for Pettersson. You think Lekkerimaki's the straw that will break the back when EP40 was someone they had to consider? Really?

Cool, then no other team in the league will have him. He's good defensively, a VERY strong chance creator. He's a very strong player that went through a mammoth cold spell. He's not a cap dump and simply watching him reaffirms that. His issue is that he went cold, but he started the season scoring at a PPG rate, which people love to forget about. He's a very strong 3C with 2C upside, he's a good value contract and he's signed long term. Teams that want him will have to pay, not the other way around.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>zk97</b></div><div>KK is playing 4C, do you really want a 5 million dollar 4C
It's a dump</div></div>
If you think Kotkaniemi is a cap dump, you do not know anything about this player. He's one of the best chance creators in the NHL analytically, and a strong two way centerman. Not to mention, he's only 23. He's going to be the 3C long-term. You want the husk of Jordan Staal instead? That might make more sense, but even then the pick is probably a few rounds too high. I can tell you right now Kotkaniemi is going nowhere without someone paying heavily for him. Especially because the Canes have 30 million in cap space this summer, and KK is just more valuable than the 2 bottom six wingers they could pick up in that stead.

For Necas though, who they have a long standing interest in, something's got to give. Probably Lekkerimaki if the deal is to be made. Hoglander isn't even anything special, he'll regress next year tbf

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>Ah yes the classic there's no argument because I'll ignore all the ones that I don't agree with. Caufield producing a better ppg than Necas at a younger age, Caufield playing against better competition than Necas, Caufield creates chances at a higher rate, Caufield has a better shot, has a higher offensive IQ and then you lay it on that Caufield hasn't stayed healthy.... After one injury that needed surgery. And age with contract status are major factors in trade value, both of which favor Caufield.
It's okay to like Necas more but there isn't a GM in the league that gives him up for Necas 1 for 1.</div></div>
Uhh, what? As I said, Necas had a 65 point season (the same pace Caufield is on this year, his career high) a year younger than Caufield is. Caufield plays more minutes than Necas so gets easier competition. Necas is a better play driver, has a better offensive IQ, and will have the ability to sign 8 years this summer, which you so gratiously pointed out, favors him. 8 years of Necas > 6 years of Caufield after all.
Necas has been the better player, Caufield *might* be the better player if he can stay healthy, which again, he hasn't done. But Necas DEFINITELY is the more valuable player right now. Feel free to come back with actual stats and not just wrongly point out Necas had a better PPG rate at a youger age than Caufield, and had a better season last year than Caufield has ever been on pace for with his injury issues.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>Lol so a younger player that's out producing the player you say is better and you're defense is that he doesn't have the same career highs.
How about this stat, when Necas was Caufield age he was a 40 point winger. Caufield is putting up better numbers while actually being a top line player, something Necas has never had to deal with.
You can have your opinion that Necas is more valuable but it just comes off a biased opinion</div></div>
Sorry, in what world? Caufield has 6 more points in 4 more games in more ice time. Hardly outproducing. Younger, yes, but in what way is he better? Necas is undoubtedly the better skater, as he is one of the best in the NHL in both speed and agility. Defense, analytics favor Necas. Creation? Necas. Production, Caufield, barely in more ice time. not to mention, that could very well change between now and the end of the season since Carolina's schedule to this point has been murderous, now it's mostly rebuilding teams.
So, what is your defense that Caufield is better here? He's younger, cool. Seth Jarvis is younger than Connor McDavid, doesn't make him better. You suggest Necas was a 40 point winger when he was Caufield's age, yet Necas already had seen a 65 point pace in the 56 game season. Caufield's attempts have been cut short by his own injuries. And, Caufield has never paced higher than 65 points (this year). Necas is still coming off a 71 point year.
Oh, and the nail in the coffin here? Necas is a natural center! Shocking how quickly people forget that. There's no argument for Caufield to be more valuable than Necas right now.

If Necas is going to sign long term this summer, that goes away, sure he's younger, but he's also already got quite the issue with staying in the lineup. I like Caufield, but he's never hit 30 goals and he's never hit 60 points. Necas has (albeit only hit 70 points once). Even Necas' career high in goals is higher.

Necas is one of the most explosive wingers in the league whose held down by a defensive system. Anyone that's watch him sees that this is a player with 85+ point upside. Caufield's career high is 53, Necas is coming off a 71 point season. Necas is the more valuable player there, there's no real argument for Caufield...

Necas is better, younger, and less injury prone than Buchnevich. Would need something better. Only way I think this works for Carolina is if Caufield comes the other way in a 1-for-1 deal. Mesar's still years away from any potential impact, the picks do nothing, and Savard is a cap dump

Absolutely no interest in that, Lekkerimaki would have to be part of the return to interest the Canes, everything else is kind of up in the air. I'd do this without the first and with something like Hoglander instead, but the value here for Carolina is Lekkerimaki.

Pesce's been very good, he and Skjei have been one of the most dominant defense pairings in the NHL. Not a coincidence that suddenly Skjei discovers offense next to Pesce when he couldn't do with with guys like Girardi in New York.

Pesce won't sign in Canada, he already nixed a trade to Buffalo because it was too cold and the taxes were too high, both getting worse won't interest him. Roy might, but I doubt it. Pesce's going to be a Ranger after Drury dumps Trouba somewhere

He'll get about that, especially from a Canadian market if he's really wanted. He's not good, but he's the prime candidate for an overpayment. Team doesn't pay so much attention and sees decent stats, goes somewhere for a lot of money and implodes. My bet was it would be Treliving making that mistake though

Unwise, probably, but Pesce's been one of the best RHD in the league for his career, especially defensively. He's got good offensive analytics too, so there will be GMs looking at him thinking that they can get more out of him. He's worth 6.5, I don't think there's any argument with that, but the issue is the term he's going to want. 6 years for a 29 year old is brave, but it's also stomach-able knowing he's going to make any team SO much better

Chatfield's the 3RD, and has 20 points and has been on the best analytical defensive pairing in the NHL. He gets entirely carried by his defense partner (because Orlov on the third pair in uncanny) but he's not the 7D
As for the Canes trade, you're light. Missing a 4th, and then Carolina might do it. Brannstrom's not exactly got much value right now where Fast is a proven playoff performer and a key piece on one of the best defensive lines in the league

Barrie and Gustafsson want to both go and score, neither knows what defending is. My suggestion would be to swap Barrie with a defensive defenseman, someone like Brett Pesce or Ryan Pulock. You could swap Gustafsson, but his cap his is harder to find a good DFD at that hit
