Martin Necas trade : Kent Hughes could make an offer to the Canes?
After several rumors about the Canadiens' interest in forward Martin Necas, it appears that new information has emerged this week regarding the Carolina Hurricanes forward.
According to TVA Sports, and via information from renowned journalist Pierre LeBrun, a generous offer has been made to the Carolina Hurricanes and could potentially be accepted in the next few hours.
"The situation surrounding Carolina Hurricanes forward Martin Necas seems on the verge of reaching its conclusion.
According to journalist and insider from The Athletic, Pierre LeBrun, an unidentified team has an offer on the table that almost meets all of the 'Canes' demands."

An offer that could possibly be accepted at any moment.
The Montreal Canadiens are still among the few teams in the running to acquire Martin Necas via trade
It should be noted that Kent Hughes is among the few managers who still have the necessary cap space today to agree on a long-term deal with the targeted player. The team has a significant margin under the NHL salary cap, which would allow them to welcome the Hurricanes forward.
"While Carolina Hurricanes forward Martin Necas could very well end up with the New Jersey Devils, I continue to hear that the Montreal Canadiens are still very involved in the Necas situation."

This is a big story that we continue to monitor closely. It could (finally) be resolved soon. With recent acquisitions, the New Jersey Devils have less than $5 million available. This is mentioned by PuckPedia, a different reference from CapFriendly, an essential tool for team salaries and salary caps in the NHL.
At the end of June, several serious discussions were reportedly initiated by teams for Martin Necas. Many of the negotiations surrounding the 2024 NHL Amateur Draft may have served as a basis for discussions for a trade agreement.
Kent Hughes has not yet acquired his coveted young top-6 forward, so he will obviously continue to try. He must be on the phone with 2-3 candidates. A plan A with Necas, a plan B with McGroarty, a plan C with Patrik Laine, and maybe even a plan D with a player we don't suspect.
