New twist emerges in Martin Necas trade rumors: Canadiens moving in
TVA Sports has delivered a major update on the potential trade involving Martin Necas and the Montreal Canadiens.
A month ago, Martin Necas' father commented on a possible trade involving his son Martin, sparking a wave of online speculation. The rumors had since quieted, but TVA Sports has now delivered a surprising new update.
The Carolina Hurricanes and restricted free agent Martin Necas have a meeting scheduled with an arbitrator on August 4 to settle their contractual dispute, but the team's general manager, Eric Tulsky, remains hopeful of reaching an agreement before then.
A trade remains a possibility for the 25-year-old forward, who was the subject of numerous rumors earlier this summer. Dissatisfied with his role on the team and his contract negotiations, Necas apparently wanted a change of scenery.

This situation will require close attention, as Habs GM Kent Hughes has a history of making trades in August, and Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky has also been notably active during the summer months.

The possibility of Necas joining the Canadiens remains very much alive, with almost three months left before the regular season begins. The door is still wide open.
