The name of Martin Necas regularly surfaces in trade rumors involving the Montreal Canadiens. But, it could come at a steep cost...
Kent Hughes' interest in Martin Necas is known. According to information from insiders, the Hurricanes would be willing to part ways with their young forward for contractual reasons, but they want immediate assets in return.
In summary, they are less interested in young prospects and draft picks.
This situation could thus complicate the Canadiens' task in a potential transaction to acquire Necas. Why? The Canadiens do not wish to trade away elements of their young core.
Antoine Roussel has thus suggested the name of Cole Caufield. The former NHL player turned analyst in Quebec sports media would not be opposed to the idea of trading Caufield to acquire Necas.
"I don't want to make headlines by saying I want to trade him, but if it's one for one or a little more and you have to give up Caufield to acquire Martin Necas, I do it." - Antoine Roussel, on the "Sortie de zone" podcast by La Presse and 98.5 Sports
Too late Antoine! His point is valid and well explained. Do you agree?
