Martin Necas has one year remaining on his contract with the Avalanche, and there are a couple strong trade destinations that could offer him a longer-term future.
If the Avalanche can't secure an extension with Necas, they'll need to identify teams interested in acquiring him ia trade.
Latest report reveals where Avalanche star will get traded to.
RB Hayek from Clutch Points writes that the Detroit Red Wings are gearing up for a major free agency push, aiming to land top-tier talent. But if they can't convince a player like Mitch Marner to join Detroit, they might explore trade options instead. In that scenario, Detroit could emerge as one of the prime trade destinations for Necas.
"Assuming they lose Patrick Kane to free agency, Detroit could make a trade for a player like Necas. He could pair on the first line with Larkin or the second line with DeBrincat. Additionally, he could play on the first power play. A Necas trade would make sense for both teams. For the Avalanche, they could net a high-end prospect, Anton Johansson, Jonatan Berggren, and a first-round pick. This would also help shed salary for next season." -Hayek
We can't overlook the Anaheim Ducks. With Joel Quenneville now at the helm as head coach, the Ducks are fully committed and focused on making a strong push for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
"Necas would instantly make the Ducks a playoff team. He would give them a top-six scorer who has playoff experience. Additionally, he would make others around him better. Necas would instantly make the first line with Cutter Gauthier and Leo Carlsson, and would be one of the most dangerous lines in the NHL. The Ducks could logistically send Pavel Mintyukov and a 2025 first-round pick." -Hayek
This move would provide the Avalanche with the much-needed defensive depth they're missing, while also offering some cap relief since Mintyukov remains on a rookie contract. For the Ducks, it would bring a greater balance to their lineup and enable them to give Drew Helleson consistent playing time next season.
"Anaheim would be one of the best trade destinations for Necas because he would be under the tutelage of one of the best coaches of all time and have a chance to guide a new team to the playoffs." -Hayek
We'll see what develops throughout the offseason.
