Reports suggest that the Montreal Canadiens are eyeing a trade for Martin Necas from the Carolina Hurricanes, yet their prospects of securing him are bleak, given the longstanding animosity stemming from the Jesperi Kotkaniemi offer sheet saga.
The Canadiens' interest in Necas has been a topic of considerable speculation, yet the longstanding animosity stemming from the offer sheet drama involving Jesperi Kotkaniemi continues to cast a shadow over any potential dealings between Montreal and Carolina.
The roots of this feud trace back nearly five years, to a pivotal moment when the Canadiens, under the helm of Marc Bergevin, tendered an offer sheet to Sebastian Aho, a move that sent shockwaves through the NHL.
Now, it remains to be seen whether the Hurricanes will opt to make a move involving Necas or choose to retain him under contract, foregoing any potential trades.
