A major trade proposal featuring Arber Xhekaj has just been announced

Major sources, including Pierre LeBrun, confirm Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton's interest in Martin Necas, but a trade offer involving Arber Xhekaj is creating a buzz.

«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 first one of the Habs in the second round, but I wouldn't be at all shocked if it was the famous first pick from the Jets obtained in the Sean Monahan trade.»

Jean Charles Lajoie acknowledges the impact of losing Xhekaj. Argues that acquiring a player like Martin Necas requires more than Jordan Harris.

«In my opinion, [Martin Necas] is far superior to Alex Newhook and I assume the combo with Kirby Dach would be perfect, especially since if Dach were not to play all the games next season, Necas would become a high-level insurance policy to make up for the absence of the young center who has so far been either very fragile, very unlucky, or a bit of both, to be continued»

Martin Necas, 25 years old was a first round pick in 2017. He scored 53 points in 77 games this season (9 points in 11 playoff games). Tallied 71 points season.
