Carolina Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky confirms surprise news on Martin Necas
For weeks now, the NHL world has waited with the expectation of a Martin Necas trade, but now GM Eric Tulsky has all but confirmed he'll remain a 'Cane.
This off-season has been a wild one for the NHL, with shock trades and free agency decisions, but as of yet, no news of a Martin Necas trade. It has seemingly been inevitable for the RFA forward, but now, General Manager Eric Tulsky has confirmed the surprise news that Necas, in his eyes will be a Carolina Hurricane when the 2024/25 season begins.
Tulsky on Necas: "As of right now he's an RFA with us, headed for arbitration where he'll get either a 1 or 2 year contract. And he'll play for us. If something happens between now and then, then that'll happen. But right now that's what I'd assume."
In the interview, Tulsky doesn't 100% close the door on a potential trade, but instead reveals that Necas will likely head to arbitration and get a one or two year deal to remain with Carolina. Over the past two years, the 25-year old center has excelled, notching a career high 71 points in 82 games in 2022-23, and while last season was a down year, playing in just 77 games and adding 53 points, he remains a sought after piece.
The Hurricanes value his skill down the middle greatly however, so unless a team absolutely blow Carolina away, expect them to keep Necas on their second line moving forward.
