About what I thought. I think it’s fair market value, but I don’t think we’ll be the team to give him that

He gone

It’s not just about price tag, it is about the role he wants to play as a center. The team must decide.

other teams are so convinced he’s some franchise saving superstar and it’s getting me so pumped for the return we’re about to get.
between jarvis, guentzel, and necas, i know which two i’m picking every time.

I personally think he should get one more “prove it” year for around $5m, and if he can put up another high scoring season he gets his raise. He’s shown improvement and peaked with his 70 point year least season, but still hasn’t quite proved that he can put up much more than 40-50 points consistently. The problem with Necas is that he has the talent to be a $7m+ player, but whether it’s a product of our system or his own doing, he can’t put it all together to make it happen.
What I’d really like to see is a modification of our system to make him shine. If we run Kuzy and Necas with someone else that compliments their bold, creative style of play, we can have an absolutely lethal offensive unit. I know that somewhat defies Rod’s defensive mindset, but if we were to aim for something like that it could be a major difference maker for both him and us.
I understand the people asking to trade necas while his value is high, and that might be the best choice, but we’ll be hard pressed to find a guy with his skill set for much cheaper than what he is, even if he does land in the $7m range. He makes a much bigger impact than we think he does at times, and I’d like to find a way to keep him around.

rip to the team that gives him that contract

About what I was expecting, I would pay him this. He’s so young, we know what he can do. Not saying we shouldn’t sign Jake but he is 30 (and will also want years), so you really are only getting a good 5yrs out of him because how good is he gonna be at 35+ in that contract.

This’ll be the first time we lose someone on one of my jerseys. Good luck Nachos and make that bank! I don’t think we’d pay this much for him even if it was feasible.

He’s giving me some major Victor Rask vibes.

I think at this point we know what Necas is. If that’s the price then let the man walk. We have to many other needs to hand that to our 4th or 5th most important forward

Not from us, that’s for sure
But we’re about to get a massive haul in return.
Please Utah…. Send us Valimaki + Clayton Keller/Nick Schmaltz

I love him, and I think he’s a great player, but he’s never going to truly thrive in our system.
Best to ship him off this summer with the other priorities we have

If Necas can get linemates that work with him he’s going to rip it up elsewhere. Hope he does, he deserves it honeslty.

He’ll look like a great player on a bottom feeder than never makes the playoffs. But I don’t see why any contender would throw $7.5m at him with what he’s shown over his career.

How would you feel if this was Jarvis’s contract?
Unfortunately I think 7×7 while fair may be a little rich.

Plenty of Canuck fans that want to trade Hronek for Necas. Hronek is looking for a similar deal. They want Necas to play with Petey since we’re likely losing Lindholm.
Hronek plays a much more valuable position at RHD. I personally don’t like it for Vancouver (my team).

Lots of insiders linking Vancouver to Necas.
What do you canes fans think?
