NHL Rumors: Martin Necas, Patrik Laine, and Evgeny Kuznetsov
Recent NHL rumors surround Martin Necas, Patrik Laine, and Evgeny Kuznetsov. Michael Amato of Sportsnet reports that Necas, with a career-high 83 points last season, may be looking for over $10 million a season, potentially pricing himself out of Colorado.
- Martin Necas could top 90 points this season playing alongside Nathan MacKinnon.
- Necas may seek a salary comparable to Mikko Rantanen's $12 million.
- A Cale Makar extension could impact Necas' potential contract.
Patrik Laine seems to be falling out of favor with head coach Martin St. Louis, potentially playing himself out of Montreal. Evgeny Kuznetsov had NHL offers, but details are scarce.
Will Necas price himself out of Colorado like Rantanen did?
The Avalanche must decide whether to play out the year with Necas and risk losing him for nothing or move him before the deadline.
