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.

If you shout Moooooose Kooooooch in some states PETA will investigate and you might have to tell your neighbors when you move into a new neighborhood.

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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
