People throw out Necas for Mangiapane and 1st type offers. Not bad value but Carolina is an elite team trying to get better and sign their long list of free agents. They are in win now mode and unless they flip the 1st, why do they want Mangiapane and a late 1st? It hardly saves them cap to sign guys and they get worse.
Deangelo, Skeji and Pesce are free agents. Deangelo will be gone but what will it take to sign the other 2? More than Rasmus $4.5 mil I bet.
Mangiapane might make sense, 50% retained. They get a good depth guy for cheap for a year.
Orlov or Kotkaniemi are 2 contracts that probably could be moved, and they keep players and stay competitive.
Necas must be on the block due to high contract demands and Carolina must not feel he's worth it his ask.
Flames could make a move and really help the rebuild at the same time.
Necas, Orlov 1st 24
Mangiapane (50%) and Rasmus
Carolina saves a bunch of cap, re-signed TT, Jarvis, Guenztel, Skeji, Pesce
I really don't see Carolina wanting futures for Necas, would have to have a 3rd team involved if that is what they Flames are trading.
