Dhaliwal: “There are a lot of rumors about Carolina forward Martin Necas. The 25-year-old RFA makes $3 million in Carolina. Many groups are wandering around asking what it will take.

I believe the Canucks clearly made the call. I was also told this morning that the Canucks are very serious about Necas. If you're not calling and scouting a good young player, you're not doing your job.

He played a lot of wing in Carolina. During his internship year he was an institution. So I want to know, what do the Canucks think, win or center with him? And you know, is he replacing (Elias) Lindholm? We will see.

But his father went to the interview, Donnie, are you from the Czech Republic?”

Don Taylor: “Yes.”

Dhaliwal: “Okay.”

Taylor: “Well, you want to sign up to keep (Filip) Hronek happy, right?”

Dhaliwal: “(Laughs) Okay, I understand. His father, Necas's father gave an interview a few weeks ago in the Czech Republic, saying that my child is looking for a job. Lack of time to play power, not in the first line. So when the fathers stepped in, it came out. “

Taylor: “That's never good.”

Dhaliwal: “It is never good when fathers hold interviews and say that my child is looking for a job. But still, you are available. He is there. And I was told this morning the Canucks are very serious about Necas. Necas.”

Taylor: “Two Necases?”

Dhaliwal: “No, Necas. I had to ask you how to pronounce it because either…. “

Taylor: “I'll tell you, if you watch, and his numbers are not worrying in any way. 53 points but the boy is out. You are fast.”

Dhaliwal: “The 12th pick Donnie, he, and guess what? He is 25 years old. You fall into that group of (Elias) Pettersson, (Brock) Boeser, (Quinn) Hughes, (Thatcher) Demko and you can build and build and build with a good young guy like that.”
