Thread: Questions for Caniacs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Yeah. There are a lot of reasons that paying to move KK makes no sense, specifically the U26 buyout cost. I honestly don't think CHI and CAR are good partners, either. I'm not really asking as a CHI fan and not necessarily with CHI as the acquiring team, but mainly just looking for generalized answers out of curiosity as a fan of the NHL.

No offense meant, because I don't know how to say this without sounding mean, but I personally think your expectation for a return on Necas is bonkers. CAR would have to add a mountain of value on top of Necas to even come close to getting Bedard or our 2nd overall pick. haha. But, I know, I asked and you answered. So, I appreciate you taking the time.

Regardless, if you had to put a single pick value on Necas, doesn't have to be one that CHI owns, what would it be? 15th overall? 10th overall? 5th overall?

Also, generally, what do you want and/or what do you think you could get for KK, with and without retention? Again, not specifically with CHI in mind, but in general.</div></div>

I know that the Hawks have a surplus of LHD, which isn’t something the Canes need, and with the Hawks pieces of interest basically being limited to Bedard, Murphy, and 2OA, I personally don’t see a trade to be made. I will say, a line of X-Bedard-Necas would be absolutely electric, and I think that would basically be the only reason Chicago would consider making a move for Necas.

As for pick value, taking into account the difference in draft quality, the only comparable picks in this years draft are likely in the top 7-8 picks in terms of potential.

As for KK, I think the Canes give him until the U26 buyout window closes to control his destiny. If he is able to carve out his role as the 2/3C, the Canes keep him. I’m of the opinion that the KK we saw at the end of last season and the beginning of this season was the true KK, and if that is the case, his contract is a very good contract. As for would he would get via trade right now, I have no clue.

With the buyout penalty being as cheap as it is, if no team is willing to pay for KK, which it sounds like there is a couple of teams willing, the Canes will just buy him out. No point in spending assets to move KK when the buyout is only about 800k.

As for Necas, Chicago doesn’t have much to offer that the Canes would be interested in. Canes aren’t interested in a futures type of deal for Necas, and there are only 2 roster players the Canes would likely want, 1 of which Chicago would consider untouchable. I get Chicago doesn’t want to move Murphy, but since Bedard isn’t getting moved, he is likely the only other roster player the Canes would want.

I don’t see Chicago being open to moving 2OA, but maybe a deal can be reached for 2OA and a prospect for Necas and 27OA, but that is almost certainly not going to happen with how great a difference between 2 and 27 there is.

Personally, I don’t think Chicago and Carolina are good trading partners for Necas. Just too much conflicting interests for a trade to be made.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Do you even know what you are talking about or do you just spew crap all the time?! Matheson is signed for 2 more years at 4.875 mil, if youthink that is expensive, then I challenge you to find a top 4 LHD who put up more than 50 points last season and isnt on an ELC or bridge deal for less</div></div>

For a dman who averages about 30-35 points when he isn’t utilized as a number 1, so everywhere outside Montreal, who at best would be the Canes 3LD or a healthy scratch when Nikishin comes over, Matheson making 5mil is expensive for where he would be playing on the Canes roster.

Face it, as good of a player as he is, Matheson isn’t replicating the numbers he put up on the Habs unless he goes to another rebuilding team. On a contender, he is at best a number 3, and as I mentioned before, on the Canes he would be on the 3rd pair. He won’t get PP1 time or the increased minutes on a contender. Matheson has value, but not nearly as much to an acquiring team than what he provides the Habs.
