Martin Necas' Size and Secondary Scoring Make Him A Perfect Guerin Trade Target
Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin's looking to add size to his top-six behind Joel Eriksson Ek. Targeting Mitch Marner would offer game-breaking skill, but wouldn't add that coveted size to the mix. If Necas becomes available, Guerin should look to add him on the second line as he continues to build around Kirill Kaprizov. The New York Rangers are on the verge of eliminating the Stanley Cup-contending Hurricanes from the playoffs, but Necas has produced 8 points (3 goals and 5 assists) in 10 games.
