NHL Rumors: Martin Necas, Patrik Laine, and Evgeny Kuznetsov
Recent rumors in the NHL have sparked questions about the futures of Martin Necas, Patrik Laine, and Evgeny Kuznetsov.
Martin Necas' Contract Situation
Michael Amato of Sportsnet notes that Martin Necas had a career-high 83 points last season and could exceed 90 points this season playing alongside Nathan MacKinnon.
- Necas may seek over $10 million per season due to the rising cap and recent comparables.
- His potential salary could be close to Mikko Rantanen's $12 million.
- Necas' contract demands might price him out of Colorado, similar to Rantanen's situation.
