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.
