Frank Seravalli broke the news that it wouldn't surprise him if the winger wound up being traded by game one of the Stanley Cup Final that will oppose the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers. Since the Hurricanes were eliminated in these playoffs in the second round, Necas has known that he wanted a chance to prove his true worth and an opportunity to do more for his team. With the Hurricanes' loaded offence, there might not be an opportunity for the Czech.
Without a surprise, the reports show that just about half the league called on the 2017 first-round pick. According to the insider Frank Seravalli, three teams are constantly involved in those talks, the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Calgary Flames and the Vancouver Canucks:
A tough deal to do, will this translate into a bigger deal? One that could involve other pieces or perhaps other pending free agents? If the Canucks do move away from Filip Hronek, they'll need another right-handed defenceman to play by Quinn Hughes' side. The Canes have Brett Pesce, who's bound to hit the market and fit the bill. Could his rights be a part of that deal?
