Necas Watch Thread...SIGNED

[jeffbear]

Again, no surprises there ... and he neglects to mention that his agent has been negotiating with Carolina in the meantime. Necas always seems to forget to mention stuff like that when he talks to Czech media ... or they forget to mention it. And I'm playing exceptionally fast and loose with the meaning of the word "forget"

 

[HeyKurtz]

The Canes and Necas have agreed to terms on a 2-year extension at a $6.5 million AAV.

That's a damn fine deal for both sides

 

[polarbare]

Seems reasonable

 

[CanadaCanes]

You can’t spell Canes without Necas…

 

[polarbare]

but what about defense?

That's why they signed all those other guys.

Yeah, Carolina got the 2nd year, Necas got a reasonable payday ... and both parties win by running him right up to UFA at the end of the deal so they can part as "friends."

 

[HeyKurtz]

Gotta love the image Marty posted on his social media...

 

[jeffbear]

Like I said ... we're all "friends" now.

At least this probably gets Carolina out of the Laine business, which is likely for the best.

 

[andyt]

It’s $6 million in the first year, split equally between salary and signing bonus. Year 2 is $1 million signing bonus and $6 million salary.

 

[ThinIce]

Considering where we are, it's great to get this resolved.

Per CapWages, which looks an awful lot like CapFriendly did, that leaves a hair over $8 million for Seth for this year.

IIRC, it should look like CapFriendly because that's where their people who didn't go on the Caps payroll ended up.

The difference being that PuckPedia is counting Nadeau's contract against our cap.

 

[jeffbear]

Yeah, they show the Canes with 14 forwards and Morrow as a 7th D, none of which is likely. Even if you don't strip off Fast's number for LTIR (iffy to probable) then you're still around $2 million heavy by PuckPedia's math. They're showing $6.4 million in cap space. It's really more like $8.3 million ... maybe a bit more.

And I saw somewhere that Carolina wasn't expecting Fast to be ready for the start of the season, and if that's the case then he moves from maybe to almost certainly on the hitting LTIR meter. Then if and when he gets healthy, you figure something out. Bottom line, Necas deal doesn't take Jarvis' long term deal off the table.
