<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>Necas won’t get that kind of money. He is a 55-60 pts winger who has one 70 pts season. The trade is also pretty fair value and arguably an overpay if we take the closest comparison, wich is Fiala</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Why would Necas get 7.5-8 mil, he has a career average of 55 points per season, one oitlier 70 point season does not warrant that much money. He will likely come in around Anderson, Kreider and E. Kane (5.2-6.5 range) any thing more than that and its a huge mistake.</div></div>

His stats are better than Caufield's, so yeah he's gonna make that kind of money. After all, his next contract being too expensive is the only reason Carolina would want to trade him away. If they could sign him for $5M AAV, they would just keep him to contend.

As for trade value, a top 20 pick + would be the market's value (like Fiala). This isn't it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Habs_22_14_20</b></div><div>Struble is waivers exempt until 2026-2027 unless he plays 17 more NHL games (likely)
But I agree, he should start in Laval to keep him waivers exempt
He would be the first call up in case of injuries

But I don't think they will trade two defenseman this offseason
You need players in case of injuries and Savard &amp; Kovacevic deals expires after next season
You could find a dcore like this in 2025-2026

Matheson-Guhle
Hutson-Reinbacher
Xhekaj-Mailloux
Struble-Barron
(going 8th dman for the next 2 years)
I do think one of Struble or Harris will be traded before the start of the 2025-2026 season</div></div>

We say the same thing. I wrote Harris OR Barron gets traded this summer.

Harris is the obvious expendable one. Good stats, no obvious quality. Just a good all around regular season player. His trade return would be limited though.

This is why Barron should be considered as a trade chip. An offensive RHD 1st rounder could allow to get a future top 6 piece.

As for trading Struble, I would keep him at least until he's close to be UFA. He would bring a lot of stability/physicallity for cheap. IMO you keep him until he's 26 y.o.
