Buffalo picks 11th. Kind of seems like a steal for Tulsky who has been selling Necas as a star that will definitely break out with another team when he isn't anywhere close to that.

He's a 25 year old 50 point winger.

I wish we hired Zuckerberg

I understand why Buffalo feels the need to do things like this. The only way they can get a FA to take their dirty, stinky Buffalo money is to offer 9M AAV to a Skinner type.

TBH they probably should start trading 11 overall picks, whether Necas is that guy or not, im unsure, but i appreciate the attempt.

 

[zeke]

yeah the nerdies have never liked Necas much. 2nd liner that's as bad defensively as he is good offensively.

11th overall is a nice get.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

How are we sure he’s the 50 point guy and not the 70 point guy from the year before?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

That said, 11th overall is high.

Its probably hes the 50 point guy, that gets a modest bump just for getting force fed 1st line minutes on a bad team

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Canes are going to get one of those dangerously skilled D in Yakemchuk, Buium, Parekh, or Dickinson at 11, probably Yakemchuk, Catton the C or maybe Eiserman the W

the bulk of the difference between the two years was a big difference in PP assists, which came from a big difference in PP TOI.

Getting big minutes on a bad team he can probably be a 70+ guy again.

Yeah, Sabres probably treat him as 1st liner, top PP time. Will still be the same dude, but a big bump from ice time

Its perfect asset management. Draft a good player, use all their cheap years, trade them for another good player's cheap years.

 

[leafman101]

The better question is Necas a guy you want to give up a high 1st, plus for and then sign to an 8 year $7-8 mill deal or whatever, even if he is a 70 point winger?

If you are the Buffalo Sabres, maybe?

Like, they need NHL talent, trading for it, and then an overpay on a contract is probably the only way.

If he can get top PP minutes. He was up against Aho/Svech/Jarvis/Tuevo and couldn't get there consistently (losing out to Noesen at times). Buffalo has a lot of talent that he'll be competing with and may again only be a PP2 guy. Tage/Quinn/Tuch/JJ/Benson are all competing, and Necas doesn't standout in that group.

Worked out great for the Sens with Debrincat.

 

[runninglow]

All said...Carolina is starting to look pretty thin up top. Losing Necas and Tuevo, possibly Guentzel...yikes.

 

[zeke]

Necas is a lot like Skinner, who they just bought out for making $9m.

Has this happened? I thought it's just been a rumour.

 

[zeke]

oh i thought it happened. i dunno.

Happened or very confirmed going to happen, he done in Buffalo.
