Martin Necas trade: Turn of events involving the Canadiens?

It now appears certain that Martin Necas will be traded, with the question no longer being "if" but rather "when". This transaction could materialize during the 2024 NHL Draft, with interest already expressed by Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens, as well as the Carolina Hurricanes.

The idea of a three-team trade is gaining traction in the league, as reported by Elliotte Friedman, indicating that Carolina is seeking specific assets that some teams may not possess, thereby facilitating this complex type of transaction.

Journalists have also discussed from the outset that Kent Hughes' best chance to acquire Martin Necas would be through a three-team trade, a scenario that appears to be confirming itself.

This approach echoes the previous Kirby Dach trade, where Hughes could use young defensemen and draft picks to entice the Hurricanes with an appealing offer.
