Yeah necas has never played center regularly in the nhl... the appeal with him is that he is a right shot rw who could potentially play on the top two lines. Now that Jarvis has stepped up and drury coming and all their forward depth I could see Carolina moving him but I think they value him massively, rumors are that he was the centerpiece of their tkachuk offer. Also not really clear what Carolina needs, they seem to have a deep squad across the board and I can't see a win now team flipping a guy like that for futures.
He is a really fast skater with good hands. I'd be real happy if the flames found a way to get him to round out the top 6. Lock him up for 5 years or so with a promise of opportunity and I could see him blowing up on that top line.
That said I do kinda wonder what he is like mentality wise and if he's a "sutter player"
