When Jesperi Kotkaniemi was officially acquired by the Hurricanes in September 2021, people started thinking “revenge” to the Hurricanes’ “revenge”.
What Hurricanes RFA player could the Habs sign, they thought? Martin Necas was automatically a name on everyone’s lips, because he’s obviously excellent.
However, in Montreal, management was replaced, which may have changed things.
This change is worth noting.
But a Necas signing is still far from impossible. Earlier in the evening, Renaud Lavoie opened the door to this scenario.
The saga between the Canadiens and Hurricanes is “maybe not over “…🤔 https://t.co/pT56ZFPfMg

The tipster wonders if the forward might be of interest to the Habs. Still, Montreal has several interesting assets for a trade or hostile bid.
And the rebuild is about to end. I think Kent Hughes could afford to make an acquisition of this magnitude.

More than ever, Carolina is in trouble. Despite the upcoming increase in the salary cap, the team is financially strapped and has several big-name players set to become free agents.
Teuvo Teravaienen, Jake Guentzel, Jordan Martinook, Stefan Noesen, Brady Skjei, Brett Pesce, Anthony DeAngelo, Antti Raanta and Jalen Chatfield will become UFAs.
Don Waddell won’t be able to keep everyone, and he also has his head coach to sign. He’s one of the most important, even if his contract doesn’t count against the payroll. Remember, the owner is not the one who spends the most.
In any case, according to Lavoie, Necas isn’t necessarily happy in Raleigh and “according to what’s circulating, he’s a player who’d like to be with another team”.
To be continued, but is he the missing piece for the Montreal attack?
