Kent Hughes involved in a 3-team trade with Carolina? Things are heating up
In the matter of the upcoming trade involving Martin Necas, here's a new twist and a potential three-team trade involving Kent Hughes.
At this point, it truly seems to be a question of "when" Martin Necas will be traded, and not "if" he will be traded.
It is likely to happen during the 2024 NHL Draft, and we already know that Kent Hughes is interested. The Montreal Canadiens and the Carolina Hurricanes have recently been in contact to construct a deal in this regard.
A Three-Team Trade Involving the Canadiens and Martin Necas?
It's an idea gaining more and more traction in the NHL.
This is exactly the case for the Montreal Canadiens, and there have been journalists mentioning from the very beginning that Kent Hughes' best chance to acquire Martin Necas is through a three-team trade.
This seems to be coming to fruition.
If the idea is circulating around the league, it indicates that it has some basis. Again, it doesn't necessarily mean the Canadiens are part of the mix but it suggests that teams might have a chance even if they don't have what the Hurricanes are looking for.» - Félix Forget
So, it could really resemble the Kirby Dach trade.
Kent Hughes might use his young defensemen and draft picks to acquire an asset that truly interests the Hurricanes, for example.
