Trade proposal surfaces suggesting Martin Necas could be traded to the Canucks

The Canucks are seeking to upgrade their top six with speed and skill. Patrik Allvin is eyeing Hurricanes players, notably Martin Necas, who's on the trade block.

Drafted by the Hurricanes in the first round in 2017, Necas appears to be looking for a more substantial role within his team. Reports suggest that the Canes found meeting his requests challenging and have opted to explore options. As Necas is set to become a restricted agent on July 1st, negotiations for an extension are inevitable but it seems the Canes are hesitant about meeting his demands.

Various reputable NHL sources such as Frank Seravalli, Elliotte Friedman and Canucks Insider Rick Dhaliwal have all confirmed discussions, between Patrik Allvin and the Hurricanes regarding trades. The talks are noted to be complex given the situations of the players involved. A proposed significant trade scenario has been circulating on media and sparking debates;

Opinions vary on whether this trade's fair or not. The addition of Necas could benefit the Canucks' top six lineup. May come at a cost given Hronek's proven abilities as a reliable second defenseman. Hoglander netted 24 goals in the 2023-2024 season and holds one of the NHL's cost contracts; it wouldn't make sense for the Canucks to trade him.

Necas has tallied 71 and 53 points in his two seasons. Would surely thrive with more playing time, alongside offensive powerhouse Elias Pettersson. Offering a right-handed defenseman like Filip Hronek along with Nils Hoglander, a promising prospect in D-Pettey and the 2025 1st Rounder seems excessive.
