Man looking at Necas his stat line is eerily similar to Lindholm’s right when we got him; Lindy was a 39 to 45 pt guy across 4 full season before going to Calgary and having a 27 goal 78 point breakout year to start his career as a flame. Necas could be a sneaky guy to target but needs a lot of work before I’d consider him a full time centre and needs to round out his 200 foot game.
Flames are in a position of strength and as much as I love Hanifin I could see the reasoning in trading him now to gain some value at an all-time high from him. I counter the notion it would take Hanifin + Zary to land a player like Necas and suggest that a + and potentially even another + gets added to get a D like Hanifin.
At any rate this is an exciting time out of no where with the big splash Treliving made trading Chucky, so many options to consider. No sense getting upset over speculation in the trade/speculation thread, better to discuss all the potential!
