<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>Necas isnt worth any of those three unless Carolina is adding a sweetener. Plus the whole hypothetical situation here is that Necas is a cap casualty, so trading him for a player with the same cap hit or higher doesn't make any sense, which means it would be picks and prospects for Necas.

I get what you want but fans on this site are doing Necas trades with the idea that Carolina can't afford to resign him because they choose to sign Jarvis long term, 8+ million, resign Skeji, resign Pesce and resign Guentzel. Leaving now room for Necas</div></div>

See what I mean, they <strong>think</strong> Necas has a McDavid trajectory when reality is he has Domi's. He is a 40-60 point 2nd line forward who will occasionally put up 70 points, that's it. He isn't going to suddenly become a ppg player at 26 or supplant Suzuki or Aho ad the number 1C. He is a solid 2nd line forward who will need a new contract and is looking at north of 7 mil. The fact that these Canes fans would rather lose 3 very important peices to their lineup for nothing over getting a decent return for a 2nd line player is actually quite sad.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>Once again, the notion that the Canes can’t afford a Necas extension is laughable. Turbo, Skjei, and Pesce all likely have to walk, but the damage from that has also been mitigated with other acquisitions. Necas is a player who isn’t a great fit in a defense first system, but would relatively easily be putting up 80-100+ points in an offensive system that utilizes Necas biggest strengths.

That being said, one of the biggest reasons why the Canes aren’t going to consider the vast majority of these packages, is between people thinking the Canes don’t have the cap space to sign Necas, and the fact that any team wanting to acquire Necas would have to buy off a contending team that has no reason to trade him. Much like the Blues with Buchnevich, you would have to give them a reason to trade away their asset, and it’s going to take more than a late 1st, a prospect, and an assortment of picks.</div></div>

Do you seriously think Pesce and Skeji are going to be easy to replace at less than 2 mil each?! That is some kind of delusion you have there, you don't just replace top 4 D men like they grow on trees.
