Major three team blockbuster trade proposal emerges

Trade talks are gaining momentum in the world of NHL with fans abuzz about a potential three team blockbuster trade that could involve Martin Nečas, Jakob Chychrun and Nikolaj Ehlers. Insider sources from the NHL suggest that these players are targets for movement during the off season around the time of the NHL draft and early free agency period.

Nečas, Chychrun and Ehlers all require contracts. Both Ehlers and Chychrun have one year remaining on their contracts and are set to become unrestricted free agents. On the hand Nečas is a restricted agent with arbitration rights. It appears probable that these players will part ways with their teams soon with Chychrun being identified as a strong contender for relocation. Steve Staios has some decisions to make. Could possibly be looking at reshaping their roster.

The idea of Nikolaj Ehlers making his way to Ottawa seems realistic. Should Senators consider trading Mathieu Joseph acquiring Ehlers could inject speed into their six forwards group and potentially benefit players like Tim Stützle, Brady Tkachuk and Drake Batherson. However securing a contract extension would be crucial, for Ehlers if such a move were to materialize.

Meanwhile in Winnipeg adding Martin Nečas to their roster could prove to be a move. As a forward, with the ability to play on the top two lines and contribute on power plays Nečas could complement Scheifele and Connor. Carolina facing the challenge of defensemen with expiring contracts such as Pesce, Skjei and Chatfield might find it advantageous to bring in Chychrun to help manage their lineup changes.

This potential three way trade could unfold in two scenarios:

Nečas heading to Ottawa Chychrun moving to Winnipeg and Ehlers joining Carolina

Or

The situation on Winnipegs defense is currently uncertain with agents like Brendan Dillon and Dylan DeMelo along with possible trades involving Nate Schmidt and Neal Pionk. Chychrun would likely be an addition for Winnipegs defensive pairing alongside Josh Morrissey.

In Ottawa, Nečas could develop alongside Tkachuk, Pinto, Batherson and Stützle while seamlessly integrating into their long term plans. This trade scenario seems beneficial, for all three teams involved.
