Concerning, especially when you have to give up assets to get him and then pay him a boatload of money to keep him.

The other thing I find concerning about Necas is that when it was time to bolster their roster, the Canes went out and brought in Kuznetzov who is a natural C.
If they felt Necas could reliably play a top 9 role at C, why do that? Evidently, they don’t think he can. Factor in his age, I’m not sure why this particular player makes sense for the Flames. If the Flames can get him for Markstrom (which seems unlikely from a Canes perspective), sure, I suppose it might be worth the roll of the dice. I’d really have a hard time seeing the Flames giving up picks or younger players for Necas though. That would be disappointing.
Hold the picks, or as Conroy himself has said, find guys in the 18-23 window.
