<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Don't like Kotkaniemi being played on the wing, but I don't mind this. Staal playing on the wing is a war crime though. I also think there will probably be better cheap options in free agency than Comtois. He's a fine call up option, but I'd rather pay someone better 850k to play 4th line minutes. Overall though, it's okay. A Fast buyout stings though, there will probably be takers for his deal because he is a very good playoff performer</div></div>

Opted to put Staal on the wing simply to prolong a career lol. However, moving Drury there works just as well.

Kotkamniemi is such a flipping enigma. Playing him on the wing is less than ideal, but the general idea is to jump start something..... anything! I still feel the game is there, just needs to find consistency and confidence in his abilities. My opinion may not reflect others.

Comtois...... there maybe better options for the contract, won't dismiss that. Went there as the organization has a level of familiarity with him now, and he has been pretty good with the Wolves.

Fast definitely hurts..... not disagreeing one bit. And if there is a taker for the 1 year, even better! Frees up $800K, which could be utilized.

With you being a long time Canes poster, I certainly appreciate the feedback. Nice to know that my hockey sense isn't out to lunch lol

Thread: Necas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Necas would be a significant upgrade to what is already on the wings in Montreal, I don't think that's questionable. But there isn't a fit here. The 2 guys Carolina would have major interest in are Suzuki and Caufield, and even then Caufield on his own is a downgrade from Necas.</div></div>

I love that we are arguing the same points on two different posts ahaha.

Again - I strongly disagree on Caufield (23yo) being a downgrade as he has better projected points (64 pts/82g v.s 58pts/82g) than Necas (25yo) while playing on a TERRIBLE team and coming back from major shoulder surgery. Also, Slaf, at 19, is projected 12 pts behind Necas... even after the terrible start where he got 10 pts in 34 games. So I would dial it back a little bit on that front.
