Eligible for an offer sheet, which would be a disadvantageous outcome for the Hurricanes, the team clearly has an advantage in trading him before July 1st, and according to Pierre LeBrun, it's likely to happen before or during Friday's draft.
Indeed, the insider mentions that the Hurricanes have an offer on the table, which includes a first-round pick this year.
Clearly, there's a lot of speculation swirling around this situation, and I would be surprised if Necas is still a member of the Hurricanes by Saturday.
For the Canadiens, the option of Martin Necas seems to be off the table. We can't be certain until the trade is announced, but it appears Kent Hughes is pursuing a different plan.
