The rumor mill has been running wild among Canadiens fans in the last few days. Names like Steven Stamkos, Tanner Jeannot, Trevor Zegras and more recently Martin Necas have been mentioned as players who have a chance of starting next season in Montreal.
Two days ago on RDS, Pierre LeBrun mentioned that the Hurricanes want an established player in exchange for young Martin Necas.
LeBrun also confirmed that Kent Hughes called Carolina to start trade discussions.
If a transaction were to happen between the Hurricanes and the Habs, here is a likely example:
Mike Matheson (MTL), 2024 26th overall pick and Sean Farrell for Martin Necas (CAR).
Matheson is just coming off a 62-point season and only commands $4.8 million per year.
It is important to mention that the Pointe-Claire native played in every game this year, so questions about injury risks can be dismissed in upcoming conversations between Kent Hughes and Eric Tulsky.
Adding a player like Martin Necas would greatly improve the Canadiens' top six. With his arrival, Montreal could start next season with two top-quality lines.
Line 1 Caufield � Suzuki � Slafkovsky
Line 2 Dach � Necas � Newhook
We will continue to follow Kent Hughes' move very closely in the coming weeks to determine what the Hughes-Gorton duo's plans are.
