Martin Necas' father reveals he's done in Carolina

The forward's future has been a hot topic since the Hurricanes' season concluded unexpectedly early. Amid swirling trade rumors, Necas' father has candidly expressed his son's aspirations for a pivotal role, further fueling speculation about an imminent move.

NHL insider Elliote Friedman highlighted the uncertainty surrounding Necas' continuation with the Hurricanes. Wearing jersey #88, Necas' alignment with the team's strategic direction appears misaligned. Friedman shared,
"I will be very surprised if Martin Necas plays for Carolina next season. As his father said, Martin wants to play on the 1st line and on the 1st power play unit. His father even said in an interview for Denik Sport: 'Martin wants to be traded.' In my eyes, Necas is a great offensive winger." -Andy & Rono

This sentiment underscores a growing dissonance between Necas' ambitions and his current role. As a player keen on top-line minutes and significant power play time, his current situation with the Hurricanes, where such opportunities are dwindling, seems less than ideal.
In light of these developments, the Chicago Blackhawks emerge as a potential suitor for Necas. With $33 million in cap space, the Blackhawks are well-positioned to negotiate terms that could bring Necas into their fold and potentially expedite their rebuilding efforts. His versatility as a two-way forward who can alternate between center and wing adds to his appeal.
Necas' performance continues to be robust, with a tally of 53 points (24 goals, 29 assists) in 77 games during the regular season. His postseason prowess was also on display as he racked up 9 points (4 goals, 5 assists) in just 11 games during the 2024 playoffs against formidable teams like the Hurricanes and Islanders.
At 25, and having been selected 12th overall in the first round of the 2017 NHL Draft, Necas has proven his mettle and seems ready for the next step in his career, potentially with the Blackhawks.
