Jean-Charles Lajoie from TVA Sports has proposed a trade offer that includes Arber Xhekaj.

JIC wants to include Arber Xhekaj in the deal to get Martin Necas.

A trade involving Arber Xhekaj and Martin Necas? Jean-Charles Lajoie's statement has sparked discussion across social media.

Following his post, some interesting comments caught people's attention.

"Yeah, that would be a huge no from me. [...] Nobody brings what Xhekaj brings. He's unique. Having a guy with his physicality and aggressive play, who can play regularly and contribute offensively, is a big asset and hard to find."

In the current scenario, it would take more from the Habs to get Martin Necas. According to many, the rugged defenseman from the Canadiens isn't even NHL caliber at the moment.

But let's remember he's only 23. Xhekaj has all the tools to succeed, and his qualities make him a sought-after defenseman, rare to have in an organization.

The Carolina Hurricanes have around $28 million under the salary cap, and the list of free agents to sign is significant. Martin Necas might not be the top priority for the new general manager, especially since the player's father shared that his son would like to be traded.

With players like Teuvo Teravainen, Jake Guentzel, Martin Necas, Seth Jarvis, Jack Drury, Brett Pesce, Brady Skjei, and Anthony DeAngelo, among others, let's say the Carolina Hurricanes are in a tough spot. They won't be able to sign everyone.

Arber Xhekaj might come with a lower salary, which could interest the Hurricanes. His grit, toughness, and intensity in front of the net are his main qualities.

What kind of trade could benefit both organizations?

The sheriff, a pick, and another player would be interesting, but does the Canadiens really want to part ways with Arber Xhekaj?
