Necas, Orlov, even Kotka IMO you hold on to for now and trade later. The benefit here is that Carolina needs to make moves this offseason where we have no pressure to. We can keep them and sell them after they perform better. It's the same idea with Kuzmenko.

Do you see Carolina being much better next season? They had a pretty big season, and have a huge hole in in net, and no real franchise altering players up front to help them get over being a team that is just in the mix.
Having some wildcard picks would be great, like the 26 Vegas pick.
I can see Carolina taking a step backwards next season.
Signing Necas to a 1 or 2 year deal and flipping him right away 50% retained for more picks would be great as well.
