The Carolina Hurricanes have been active this offseason. After appointing Eric Tulsky as their new General Manager, reports now suggest the team is actively pursuing a trade for disgruntled forward Martin Necas.
Sources say that there is one [unknown] team in particular that is pretty close with Carolina on the framework of a deal and that if that trade goes through, it would involve a first-round pick Friday night. - Pierre LeBrun on a potential Martin Necas trade
Initially, Pierre LeBrun hinted that an undisclosed team was nearing a deal with the Hurricanes for Martin Necas. Shortly after, he disclosed the identity of the team eager to acquire the Czech forward.
Are the Carolina Hurricanes aiming to trade Martin Necas to the Buffalo Sabres?
Pierre LeBrun continued discussing Martin Necas, acknowledging widespread interest from every NHL team. Currently, the Buffalo Sabres appear closest to securing a deal.
The Sabres have allegedly been willing to trade their 11th overall pick before this weekend's draft. This, combined with reports of their intent to buy out top-six winger Jeff Skinner, makes a trade scenario plausible. If the Sabres proceed with the deal, it is likely to happen soon, possibly before the NHL Draft.
As this situation unfolds, we will provide updates on Martin Necas's potential new destination.
