Super Duper Unlikely Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dtd_tank</b></div><div>I would have to think Detroit would be lining up for Necas if he were available. But that's probably wishful thinking.</div></div>
Realistically, Necas is only available for a true forward upgrade. Malkin would count as one if he's willing to sign a high-dollar 1 year deal, but IMO the most likely one to consider is Fiala.

Super Duper Unlikely Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>I really don't like the Malkin deal. He's a great player when he's healthy, but he's older and he's not the player he used to be.
Would love Kuzmenko.
Paul... I think for that price, I'd walk away. I'd rather go for Domi at something like four by four given how well he's played.
I like the Lybushkin add, but I also think that's a little high.
DeAngelo is about a mil high too.
I like the Carson Soucy add, and I think that's a fair price. Might need a later round pick, but I like the idea.
I think that's a little high for Lorentz.
I think this is a really nice idea, a few things I'd rather not see, but overall solid. My big sticking point is Malkin though. He's also publicly said he would never play in a smaller market and then listed Carolina as the example (this was in like 2012 or something but it was years ago)</div></div>
I just thought "Old Dougie Cap Hit" for DeAngelo. To me, something like that for three years would be the ideal bridge for Scott Morrow. Also, older Malkin is still a well-above-average offensive 2C, which is why I thought that might be a good way for KK to get slowly acclimated to the 2C position.

I Do Not Think Gaudreau is Going Anywhere
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jacketsman61</b></div><div>The problem with that model is Tampa has no state income tax. Calgary has high tax rates. Meaning the team would have to shell out more money. The Tkachuk boys are known to want top dollar, no discount. Brady did that to Ottawa there is no reason to think Matthew won’t do the same.</div></div>
I think winning is more important than tax rates. When the neighboring Florida Panthers stank up the joint, nobody ever gave them discounts in UFA (see Bobrovsky!). Boston, despite one of the highest state tax rates in the US, gets guys locked in at reasonable cap hits, including Taylor Hall, mainly because they're a perennial winner. There's a far stronger correlation of players choosing to play for top contenders than players choosing to play for tax havens.

I Do Not Think Gaudreau is Going Anywhere
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jacketsman61</b></div><div>He is gone. He has been noted to wanting to play closer to home. I think the Devils, Buffalo, and Philly are the likely landing spots. Each one of them have easier travel schedules too. I also think a team like NJ can easily offer him at least 10 mil per.
The other problem is Tkachuk is going to want to get paid. His brother is making more than him and producing less. Tkachuk will command at least 10.5 mil per. Calgary will have to choose which one they want to keep and it is clear it should be Tkachuk.</div></div>
Tkachuk is going to get paid. I don't disagree. I simply modeled my above roster as a sort of "Tampa West". I just wonder if Calgary, in the event that they go on a deep run, agree to terms with both Gaudreau and Tkachuk, and in the process find some sort of arrangement not dissimilar to how Tampa Bay manages their top end of the roster, around the $9.5M/year threshold.

Tampa was just as "desperate" to dump and it only costed them a 2nd to deal Johnson's contract. This is from a neutral fan's perspective, too. I made this roster as a Carolina fan lol

If Monahan's LTIR is dealt, it could work, barely. You could also reduce the Gudbranson AAV some in exchange for an extra year to get more space to accumulate.

Very Few Changes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>No chance that Necas gets 5mil next year. Drury will likely take the 4C role, and TDA likely gets a smaller contract. Canes likely resign Nino as well. Love that bottom pairing though.</div></div>
If the contract is 6 years or more, I could see it. That deal I posted really could be a buy-low if Carolina continues to take young player bets like they just did with Kotkaniemi. That's the thing, though. I either see Carolina betting strongly on Necas or trading him in a package for a for-sure upgrade (like Fiala, for example). I don't see Carolina taking a middling bridge-contract approach or trading him for picks.

Do The Canes Go The RFA Market Again For Upgrades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>That's a deep draft, and like I said NSH is currently trending downward. Could easily be a lottery pick. If it were NSH's 17th OA this year it would be closer, but I'd still hesitate. Necas is still inconsistent, and NSH wouldn't get the benefit of his cheap ELC years.</div></div>
RFA years are still cheap, though, relatively-speaking, at least if your team makes the smart bet on the right players (See the recent Carolina/Svechnikov pact). You can get a lot of value on Necas if you sign him at the correct dollar value for the right amount of years.

It depends on how you value a first rounder. In my eyes, at least, a first rounder in the range that Nashville is likely to pick (around the mid-to-late teens) is not likely to be as good as Necas currently is, let alone what he could be considering how skilled he is.

If it's for Necas, who's only 23 years old and has a long future ahead of him, I think that Poile can be excused for doing so (as long as Forsberg is locked up).

It's a trade designed to upgrade the Ian Cole (who IMO takes too many penalties) spot with Soucy. I also think that Lyubushkin would be a nice fit in Carolina.

Skjei received a 1st rounder around the #20 spot from Carolina back in 2019. His value is higher today than it was back then. Coyotes can certainly get that kind of value from Los Angeles, especially because Vilardi could well be a non-tender candidate.

I think that $7.5M for one year is a possibility. Not on a multi-year deal, though, I 100% agree. As proven by KK, Carolina is willing to spend high on one-year fliers.

Maybe. The Canes have been pretty successful at getting their RFAs to extend long-term ever since they began to show signs of being a contender, not dissimilar to Tampa or Boston. Players are more likely to commit long-term if the team is good.

I actually think that he's a likelier re-sign than Nino or Trocheck. He's the most likely to take a 2 year bridge because he's only 27 and could parlay a good showing into a true windfall at age 29.

My thought is Necas gets somewhere close to an 8x$6M. A little less, probably, because of his down year. I think $1.5M AAV less than Svechnikov is fair for Necas.

The Canes were the only team that truly wanted Domi over other options. Apparently only Carolina had their scouts in attendance at the recent Columbus game. Others probably had Domi as a backup plan, but Carolina was the only one that actually thoroughly scouted him in recent days.
