Colorado has 3 other Finnish players on their roster... didn't seem to help.

Look, I'm not trying to throw cold water on the trade. I think moving Necas was inevitable and felt it should have been done in conjunction with keeping Jake Guentzel last season. Had Carolina decided to move on from Necas, there's a good chance Guentzel would still be here. But, that's in the past.

All I'm saying is there are big questions to be answered.

Even with all the other parts included this is a HUGE return for Necas compared to what some here were willing to move him for during the off season.

As mentioned earlier, I am learning the game, but it seems to me that we were falling behind a lot and, frankly, losing more than we'd like. Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that Aho has been off a bit, but Jarvis is coming into his own--But I like the fact that a professional team in NC does not have an inferiority complex. 
So my question--are they likely to sign this guy long term?  Why trade away assets for a half season?  It seems the Canes gave up a lot--draft picks, Drury, Necas for a half season.  

 

NHL draft picks dont hold the same value as NFL picks outside of the top player or three of a draft most will not see NHL time for at least 3-4 years....

The Canes have a gluttony of players and picks in their pipeline the past 5 years and this year and last year are the first two times pretty much ever they have made a big splash, also take into account these picks they traded are pretty much a round lower because the Canes are a very good team.

 

That said I expect they make it a huge priority to get him resigned in season.

That’s what I was talking about.

Chatfield is the team's 2nd best defender behind Slavin.

I have one, too.

A side note- we took friends to a game in December and they fell in love with the game and the Canes. He bought a Burns jersey and bought her a Drury #18.....

Drury with a goal and Necas with 2 assists against the Rags in the 1st period.

Sooner than later Moose and hall will be adding points and goals in spades.
