A monstruous trade proposal by Winnipeg for Martin Necas' rights revealed

Despite this agreement, rumors continue to circulate on social media. Even though Martin Necas is now under contract for two years, it doesn't necessarily mean that the Czech player will start the season with the Carolina Hurricanes.

If the Canadiens were among the teams interested in acquiring him, the price to pay would now be astronomical, as reported by the site Marqueur.com, and we have clear evidence of this.

During the broadcast of the latest episode of the podcast The DFO Rundown, the highly credible insider Frank Seravalli revealed that the Winnipeg Jets made a massive offer to the Hurricanes to acquire Martin Necas, with Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff putting players Cole Perfetti, Rutger McGroarty, and a draft pick on the table.

Wow! You read that right.

According to some sources, the offer was made, but the Carolina Hurricanes forward, who was a restricted free agent at the time, had no intention of agreeing to a long-term contract with the Winnipeg Jets. It seems that Winnipeg might not be as attractive to NHL players. Just ask Pierre-Luc Dubois and Patrik Laine!

In the 2023-2024 season, Martin Necas tallied 53 points, including 24 goals in 77 games, along with 4 goals and 5 assists in 11 playoff games.

Martin Necas was truly in control of his destiny. He also reportedly turned down the Buffalo Sabres, who were interested in acquiring him. Once again, Necas did not see himself in Buffalo long-term.

This is yet another solid proof that Buffalo and Winnipeg are not among the top destinations in the NHL! Fortunately, draft picks allow both teams to acquire exciting and spectacular players.
