Thread: Offseason v13
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PantsinmyPants1211</b></div><div>I actually don't mind this trade at all. Vilardi has looked pretty good now that he is healthy, and though he doesn't have Necas' speed, he does have high end skill, and he's only 22.

Spence would give us another low cost RHD for a few years, and could turn into a player, and that 1st is 19th OA.

That is a solid trade offer IMO. As a Canes fan, I would do that.</div></div>

Vilardi makes zero sense for the Canes to acquire. He plays a position of massive strength and the Canes don’t have any room for him in Chicago either. Canes would want Durzi more than Spense, and 19OA is just magic beans. If the Canes trade Necas, it’s in a package for a top 6 pure goal scorer, and that isn’t present in that package. Canes should pass on this offer.

Thread: Kerfoot and debrincat
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Maybe he's traded but it is entirely possible that he's just not QO'd still. I would not put his value very high at all right now, definitely not returning Kerfoot.

There are pieces with value in that trade but it is at the end of the day a lot of quantity and not at all realistic.</div></div>

It's a very slim possibility that he doesn't get QO'ed and there's that slim possibility with a lot of RFA's this class. Bear isn't special because of it.

We've seen traded with a lot of quantity as long as the pieces are of value. If you ignore Gardiner, who could easily be sent elsewhere, every piece there is of value. If you remove Lafontaine and Puistola, everything there is of strong value and that is an extremely reasonable package. Just because there's a lot of pieces doesn't mean they are all worthless, which is what your original point suggested.

Morrow is the Canes best prospect.
Suzuki is number 3 or 4
Necas is a 23 year old NHL player that put up 40 points in a down year and wants to play C.
2 1sts (unprotected by the way, when the Canes have goalies made of carbon fibre) are nothing to turn the nose up at.

Just proving that your original take (quantity &gt; quality) was lazy. I'm not saying it's realistic, before you try and suggest that I said that. You have had a history of trying to spin my words.

Thread: Hoping on the pasta bandwagon
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>Ya, they just extended KK, but they’re likely already regretting it.</div></div>

Exactly why would they be regretting it? Where have you seen or heard anything remotely close to that from sources close to the team? Please share if so I'd be really interested to see it.

He's likely going to get a shot at 2C soon depending on how the offseason goes and worst case he'll easily slot into 3C after Staal contract is up next year. If he succeeds at 2C the deal is a steal, if he can't cut it at 2C full-time it's an average deal. If you're going to base his overall production in a year where the team had a ton of C depth which didn't allow him to play consistently high in the lineup than that's very poor long term judgement. His underlying numbers and play in limited minutes w/ lesser linemates was good this year and improved over the course of the season as he got accustomed to the situation.

As always, you can have your opinion but when it's not really backed up by anything and you just throw out vague generalities and statements it doesn't really hold much water.

Thread: eichel is a no brianer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wadejos123</b></div><div>Still a no brainer is they say they need necas in the deal?

Necas+Gardiner+1st

or

Jarvis+Suzuki+Gardiner+1st+2nd</div></div>

Necas right now probably holds more value than Eichel does. Let's not forget Eichel is coming off a year where he scored 2 goals... and Necas is coming off a 40+ point year in 53 games... That's roughly a 70 point pace. Eichel is also making 10 mil, Necas is on his ELC. Eichel wants a neck surgery no one in the NHL has had before, Necas' time missed was due to concussion protocol from a Zadorov hit he showed no symptoms from... there's no case for Eichel to require Necas.

As for Jarvis/Suzuki... if Jarvis is in there, Suzuki isn't. Jarvis was PPG in 2 leagues this year. One of which, he wasn't eligible to play in! It's gonna be Gunler+Suzuki+Ponomarev+1st+Gardiner+Rees or something if it's without Jarvis, or Jarvis+Gardiner+1st+2nd if it's Jarvis. That's about as far as I would go to say his (Eichel's) value is worth.
