For a few weeks now, Martin Necas has been a hot topic in the NHL world. Rumors swirl around the Hurricanes forward, suggesting his time in Raleigh may be coming to an end.
When a young talent of Necas' caliber, capable of fitting into a top-6 role, becomes available, discussions ramp up. The Canadiens, in search of a player matching this profile, have been linked to the Czech for some time. However, as recently noted by Elliotte Friedman, the Canadiens seem not to possess what the Hurricanes are seeking.
Thus, the best opportunity for Necas to join Montreal appears to be through a three-team trade. And the outlook is promising for the Canadiens, as this idea gains traction in the NHL.
In his "32 Thoughts" podcast, Elliotte Friedman mentioned this morning that some teams are considering this option, while others expect franchises to attempt to finalize this transaction.
