McGuire: The Habs Should Be Pursuing Martin Necas | The Sick Podcast with Tony Marinaro July 3 2024

Tony, you gotta cut out the 5 minute countdown at the start of your videos... No need for that. Regarding Necas, I don't think Carolina's shopping him anymore. With Guentzel gone, they don't have a reason to trade Necas for cap space. Their other center for their 2nd line is Kotkaniemi and we all know he isn't up to par for that role. They'll want a 2nd line Center or a high profile top 6 forward in return. We only have Dach for that and he's been plagued with injuries, so nobody knows if his development has been stunted or if he manages to keep that spark he showed last year. Don't get me wrong, I'd love Necas. I just don't think there's a fit for what Carolina needs, that is if they even intend on shopping him anymore.

Habs top 6 have 2 playmakers (Suzi, Demidov) 2 powerfowards, (Dach, Slaf) and 1 goal scorer (Caufield) the 6th player should be a sniper... So mad they didn't get Eiserman at 21 he went 20 or we would have been SET

I’m trusting management. If they don’t get Necas it is for good reason. Best management since Sam Pollock.

The day before the draft Gorton was asked about acquiring a "big name" player. He said -- he doesn't want to stunt the growth of younger players with a "big name" contract, especially over time, and that any short term addition would have to think like the team does. In other words, "big name" stats are not part of the rebuild.

Would rather trade for McGoriaty younger bigger.

39:47 I would love to see markov added as an assistant coach , especially with demidov on the way

In Kent we trust not Necas . We don't need him there are others . Necas is a distraction. After next season is the time to add perhaps . Not now , latter. Patience Hab fans .

Love the content ditch that intro …its honestly horrible

Pierre is the best

Ive been saying we need to get him, because Necas is our Plekanec replacement. We need a Czech player again hahaj

I like Necas but Guhle would be a non starter for me. Yes we have lots of D in the prospect pool but that doesn’t mean they’ll all pan out. Guhle is a solid top 4 D at the minimum. He could develop into a top 2 at his ceiling. I’d offer a first from next year, Jordan Harris and another 2nd and go from there. That probably doesn’t get it done, but that’s the package I’d start the negotiations with

Anyone who thinks the Habs need Necas, with all the cap complications, should root for the Leafs.

What about Danielle Savageau?

I'm wondering if the Canadiens have too much of an ego to hire Joel Bouchard again after he left the organization. Either as Rocket's head coach again, or power play coach in the big club.

Maybe they should get Martin Necas ‘right off the reservation’ !

Sick

I very disappointed with the HABS…a lot of free agency out there and they did nothing! They are not trying to better themselves to be playoff contenders for next season or the season after but for 3-4-5 years from now and that’s sad. Marc B buried this team in a massive hole over his 8 years with Montreal and it’s gonna take 4-5 years to undo what he created

why? We'll have Slaf and Demidov as first 2 right wingers
