Frank Seravelli recently published an article saying that the New Jersey Devils are open to trading away their 10th overall pick for Martin Necas. It’s widely known that Necas is one of the fastest players in the league. So, he most likely won’t have trouble fitting in with the Devils. However, when it comes to the 10th overall pick, he might not be worth it. He’s a pending RFA and needs a new contract.

For necas? Can do better
The Devils should definitely try to trade the pick to Winnipeg for Mcgroarty.
If the juice is worth the squeeze, then by all means Trade away!
As soon as the Canes said they wanted to move Necas, I thought he would be great on this team, rounding out our offense filling the void McLeod left. Is he worth the 10th overall, probably not but maybe?
Honestly, I don't want to see Necas brought in on a trade simply due to the money he would command in a new contract. I don't want to see NJ get handcuffed by a contract that isn't resolving an issue that needs to be resolved, such as adding to the defense (which is the number one priority right now as far as I'm concerned). Necas is a good player but the Devils don't need him.
As for the #10 pick, unless something really wild pops up as a trade offer, there's a few players floating around that position in the draft rankings that I think would end up being really good prospects for the Devils, so might as well use the use to draft someone. They can focus on filling needs via free agency since there will be a lot of options out there.
6-7 million for a 3rd line center??? No way
I think he's worth pursuing and close in value to 10th overall pick, but the sticking point is he needs a new contract and apparently wants closer to $9 AAV which we just can't really do. Fitz says he would trade the pick for someone cost controlled and Necas is the opposite of that right now
Not worth moving it, keep it
This is not the play. His new contract will not be worth it and you do not want to keep that 10th overall within our own division. There are other moves!
Put necas with Jack he might be a 100 point guy
We already have enough players like Necas on this team. I'd rather trade that pick away for an established physical checking forward. He's also not playing on PP1 which he complained about on Carolina. I think the move is just fill out the roster in free agency and keep the pick.
Sign Henrique! He'll replace Macleod, give us experience, give us another PK guy, and he's a fan favorite! He won't demand a high salary or long term commitment. It's the perfect replacement.
Devis need another goal
Scorer that’s a fact
We need to fill that top 6 hole that was made when Toffoli left. The draft is tomorrow and it doesn’t make sense for us to keep that pick when we’re in the win now mentality.
You make a lot of sense on Necas being a want more than a need plus the cap hit will be tough for the Devils. I think NJ should trade that 10th pick for Rutger Mcgoarty who wants a trade from Winnipeg. He was a 14th pick in draft and now looks like a top 10th from that draft and he’s ready for the NHL so no need to continue to develop him
NOT worth a first round pick alone. They would have to give us a lot more + Necas!!!
What's the latest on the Devils' chances of signing Pesce? Is that even possible if they trade for Necas?
Nah I'm not big on necas
necas is worth it, 8.5mil deal, but not for the devils. we need Dmen
Ehh.. isnt seravalli known for not being correct much?
