TVA Sports network has provided an absolutely massive update regarding the potential trade of Martin Necas to the Montreal Canadiens.

One month ago, Necas’ father spoke out about a possible trade involving his son Martin, which led to a flurry of rumors online. Things have finally calmed down a little, until now, when TVA Sports provided a shocking new update.

The Carolina Hurricanes and restricted free agent Martin Necas have a meeting scheduled with an arbitrator on August 4 to settle their contractual dispute, but the team’s general manager, Eric Tulsky, remains hopeful of reaching an agreement before then.

A trade remains a possibility for the 25-year-old forward, who was the subject of numerous rumors earlier this summer. Dissatisfied with his role on the team and his contract negotiations, Necas apparently wanted a change of scenery.

This development will need to be monitored closely as Habs GM Kent Hughes has been known to pull the trigger on deals in August several times in the past, and Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky has also been very active over summer months.

The chance of Necas being traded to the Canadiens is very much alive, and we still have nearly three months to go before the regular season starts. The door is wide open.
