According to Pierre LeBrun, Montreal is one of the favorites to acquire Necas, confirming Kent Hughes' efforts in this matter.
Analyst Marc-Olivier Beaudoin proposes an offer that includes Mike Matheson and the 26th overall pick. While this price is considered high by some, others believe it would be better to explore other options, such as Patrik Laine.
Necas, 25, recorded 53 points in 77 games this season, while Matheson, 30, accumulated 62 points in 82 games this season.
