Thread: Canes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MONSTER1974</b></div><div>Although KK’s tenure has been disappointing, I’m sure he still has some value around the league. Wouldn’t CAR be a better team moving KK out and keeping Necas? Even if you “gave” him away, dumping KK’s salary would allow you to sign Necas.</div></div>

maybe... i think the "issue" with Necas is that he doens't play a good defensive game. He wants to move to Center and Rod does not trust him with that defensive responsibility. While KK definetly underpreformed this year he has shown flashes of what he could be. He plays a much higher level of defense and that is valuable to the canes. I think Necas could easily be a consistent 70 point player in other systems, it just that the hurricanes system is not for him

Thread: Hurricanes lineup for the playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>KK shouldn't be. Rod's being an idiot, because Rod has to give odds to the opponents in some fashion. Drury or even Fast himself playing over KK isn't going to happen. If only because of Kotkaniemi's playoff history as quite a clutch performer</div></div>

Well practice lines show that Drury is over KK. Also earlier in the season it was Drury over KK. Rod puts his trust in drury over KK. Rod has brought this team to the playoffs for 6 years in a row, he isnt the issue that you say he is, does he make questionable choices at times...yes, but he has shown the type of leader he is for the team and he is the coach that players would run though a brick wall for, that is what makes him a Jack Adams Winner

Thread: Kotkaniemi more
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Canes aren't going to move KK. They need to move Staal. KK's issue is that he's a great 3C. But Carolina have 3 of them. KK's infuriating because he's shown flashes of being a 2C, and he's got the tools, but he cannot put it together. Getting him consistent minutes with competent players will do him a world of good</div></div>

The BIG issue with that is you can’t simply move Staal. He has a NMC. Not sure if you understand it but that means no movement without his consent. So he’s not going to waive it for teams that aren’t in the playoffs because he’s older and wants to win, so a “cap dump” isn’t possible. Also he’s 35 and will likely retire after winning a cup/or at the end of the contract. He also won’t want to leave NC if his whole family has lived here for 10ish years. I get the idea of moving on from him but it’s just not in the books.

Thread: Kotkaniemi scratched
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>No, he's not god awful offensively! That's the point! Rod's absolutely mismanaged that. Kotkaniemi's creating chances for fun but cannot get the bounces right now. What he needs is offensively competent linemates and a vote of confidence. Watch him! Put him next to Svechnikov (who I would have less problems with being scratched right now) and Necas and let that line play on muscle memory.</div></div>

Yes svech is in a slump but you are a special kind of stupid to say you would scratch him over KK. My satirical post of you wanting a roster of only KK might have just been true. Rod has got this team to the playoffs 6 years in a row I don’t think he is the issue. Maybe the issue is the player that’s done nothing all year

Shouldn’t we be talking about Bratt for Svechnikov?</div></div>

Canes wouldn’t trade svech but at least your smart enought to know bratt is comparable to him and better than necas
