While major sources, such as Pierre LeBrun, have confirmed Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton's interest in Martin Necas, a trade offer involving Arber Xhekaj is causing a stir.
Most Montreal Canadiens fans believe that Xhekaj should absolutely not be traded, but nevertheless, here is an excerpt from Jean-Charles Lajoie's latest text for TVA Sports.
«In my opinion, there is no doubt that it will be Necas for Xhekaj just as it was Romanov for Dach two years ago. Xhekaj and a draft pick, ideally the first one of the Habs in the second round, but I wouldn't be at all shocked if it was the famous first pick from the Jets obtained in the Sean Monahan trade.»

Il faudra donner Arber Xhekaj pour avoir Martin Necas.
And you, would you make this trade?
«In my opinion, [Martin Necas] is far superior to Alex Newhook and I assume the combo with Kirby Dach would be perfect, especially since if Dach were not to play all the games next season, Necas would become a high-level insurance policy to make up for the absence of the young center who has so far been either very fragile, very unlucky, or a bit of both, to be continued»
