Arber Xhekaj traded: he would be the price to pay to acquire MN

"In my opinion, there is no doubt that it will be Necas for Xhekaj, just as it was Romanov for Dach two years ago. Xhekaj and a draft pick, ideally the Canadiens' first pick in the second round, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's the famous Jets' first-round pick obtained in the Sean Monahan trade." - Jean-Charles Lajoie

"In my opinion, [Martin Necas] is much superior to Alex Newhook, and I assume that the combo with Kirby Dach would be perfect, especially since if Dach were to miss any games next season, Necas would become a high-level insurance policy to cover for the absence of the young center, who has been either very fragile, very unlucky, or a bit of both, so far." - Jean-Charles Lajoie
