RJCF96 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 To Carolina: Andrei Kuzmenko To Vancouver: Martin Necas Both players can use a change in scenery. Necas is making $3 million and is a RFA at the end of this season. Kuzmenko has 1 more season at $5.5 million per. Both team may have to move some minor parts +/- draft picks to make the trade work. Necas is in the same 2017 draft class as Pettersson, and had shown in the past that he can produce in a top 6 role or be a solid contributor as 3C. The risk with this trade is we add another player who will be up for extension next summer along with Pettersson & Hronek. Base on his production, his next contract would likely be a 2-3 year term at around $4.5 million. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necas is younger, is an RFA at the end of his contract (unlike Kuzmenko who could just walk), and is only one season removed from a 28 goal 71 point campaign. Necas is a potential long term asset and can also play Center. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijjibo Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I don't think Kuzmenko comes close to getting Necas. Necas is younger, cheaper, more productive this year, hasn't been a healthy scratch this year, and plays a more valuable position. If Carolina was interested I'd imagine a significant add from Vancouver would be needed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Carolina laughs in Allvin's face. Then say "Wait, you're serious. Let me laugh harder." Kuzmenko is not worth an RFA stud center. Even if Necas pulled a Tkachuk and said "I ain't re-signing and I only want to go to Vancouver." The price would still be higher than just Kuzmenko.
