You couldn't have traded traded Necas, Drury, a 2nd, and a 4th for Stankoven, 2 1sts, and 2 3rds. The Hurricanes did extremely, extremely well here. - ThreadSky

I think people underestimate how good Necas is. I still think Canes need offense driver.

He was not a good fit here and he was not resigning here

knockoutpanda.bsky.social•3 days ago

yeah doesn't change that he was what the Canes needed helps drive offense and creativity in a ridged sometime stagnant system.

flopfish.bsky.social•3 days ago

yup. Also wanted to be paid like a C when he is very much a W imo.

Rantanen is a wing paid big so....

I don't think Necas touches that and he is still 1 more year at 6.5 mill. I don't think Carolina finds a player like Necas for that in free agency.

Rantanen is a significantly better player overall than Necas is

knockoutpanda.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah and Avs moved Rantanen because they think Necas and the space is valuable to building a good team. Necas is doing very well playing with MacKinnon.

I mean, in this market?

You probably could have. Why would you want your team to be worse right before the playoffs, though?

Disasterclass GMing.

And Taylor Hall too

flopfish.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm just omitting the "Taylor Hall for a 3rd" part from this entirely because I think that deal gets done regardless of Rantanen
