Martin Necas with the Canadiens: the verdict to be confirmed this week
The name of the Hurricanes' forward, Martin Necas, has been on everyone's lips in Montreal for a few weeks, and we know from Pierre LeBrun that Kent Hughes has made inquiries.
The Canadiens' general manager is working very hard behind the scenes to acquire a young forward like him, and he certainly doesn't want to miss out on such a talented young player, who has the potential to score a point per game.
According to Darren Dreger and several other influential people in the NHL world, the perfect fit for Necas is in Montreal.
"I see him ending up in Montreal. This is the kind of piece Kent Hughes would want to add to his attack." - Darren Dreger, speaking about Martin Necas
Now that this has been said and the rumors are increasing, Frank Seravalli has dropped a major piece of information. According to him, we should not be surprised if Necas is traded this week.
"Seravalli: I wouldn't be shocked to see Necas dealt before Game 1 on Saturday."

The Hurricanes have every interest in trading him before July 1st, otherwise, they risk losing him for less. Martin will be a restricted free agent and eligible to receive an offer sheet, something Carolina cannot afford.
Let's hope Kent Hughes is in the thick of the fight to acquire him, because among the talented young players available this year, Necas is pretty much the best along with Trevor Zegras.
