Necas gets traded elsewhere for a package with a better quality asset vs the value menu you offer

The trade is probably focused around Matheson & WPG 1st imo.

Slide the RD up and just slot in Barron, I think we're going to be just fine on the back end.

I dont see Necas in mtl so Hugues need to managed the asset to find top 2x6 players i think Roy can play on the top 6 short or mid term
If Demidov or Lidstrom isnt avalaible at the 5ov i can see MTL draft Levshunov to complete the Defense

I don't know if Necas is the guy that we need.

I do agree that Matheson is probably not here for the start of our window, and I think our D core probably looks something like that in 2 years. Hopefully Reinbacher can be that 1st RD and then I would try to sign someone for that 2nd pair RD. I would only keep one of Mailloux or Baron because I just don't like the idea of having almost no experience on our back line. My left side is probably exactly the same as your, unless Hudson reaches unexpected peaks and can play his way on our 1st pair with Reinbacher backing him up.

My future D core hopes :

Guhle - Reinbacher
Hutson - UFA RD
Xhekaj/Struble - Mailloux/Barron

For offense like I said, I don't think Necas is the guy for us. He wants to play center and he's gonna cost 8M + right now, while we are stuck with Anderson and Gally for another 3 years, needing to sign Guhle, Slafkovsky next year. Plus the canes are asking too much.

Offense in 2 years for me :

Slafkovsky - Suzuki - Demidov (for one timers with his left shot)
Caufield - Dach - Prolly UFA or trade, but not Necas
Roy - Newhook - Gallagher
Wtv - Beck - Wtv

If we get Lindstrom :`

Caufield - Suzuki - Slaf
Newhook - Dach - UFA/Trade
Roy - Lindstrom - Gally
Wtv - Beck - Wtv

A guy like McGroarty would fit perfectly here.
