Hurricanes Mock Trade: Ducks Swap Frank Vatrano for Martin Necas
June 21, 2024 by Zach Martin
We are officially a week from the 2024 NHL Entry Draft and 10 days from the start of the re-sign phase and free agency. However, that has not stopped other general managers around the NHL from making trades before the Stanley Cup winner has been crowned. Regarding the Carolina Hurricanes, they’ve been in conversations about what they will do with Czech forward Martin Necas. Per Pierre LeBrun of TSN, they have gotten “concrete trade offers” for him but nothing yet they would say yes to. However, it seems that something could potentially happen either right before, or at the draft on June 28-29 in Las Vegas. There might be a team that some have not thought of who could be in talks with Carolina for Necas. It might feature one of the hottest and most underrated goal-scorers in the NHL over the last two seasons.
