[Daugherty] From what I understand, this is mostly a cap move, but also McDonagh has been wanting to return home. With that contract, the only way he would waive NTC is by going back to Tampa. Smart move by Trotz (and with $26 million in cap, there’s likely more coming)

Tampa fan here was he good last year, how was he defensively?
Incoming Marner or Necas trade
Let’s just keep trading with Tampa if they’re gonna give us free draft picks like this
Barry Trotz getting ready to turn the Preds into a wagon with $26 million in cap space to work with, 2024 (colorized)
Still a good player, just slower now.
Your home is New York, not Tampa Bay, Ryan!
I have not really learned to trust this team with cap space yet sadly
Elias Lindolm 8×6 coming in.
I’m on the fence about who I want more between Marner and Necas.
Necas is younger, cheaper, and a natural center. Marner is only 2 years older, is more dynamic offensively, but more expensive.
Marner is well over a PPG (639 in 576 GP), Necas is 243 in 362 GP. Are Marner’s point totals inflated because of who he has for linemates, probably so.
Necas has only played a full season once, but Marner hasn’t played a full season since 2018-19.
Positives and negatives to each. Honestly I’d be good with either one.
