Star forward Martin Necas is entering a contract year ahead of this NHL season, and despite inconsistencies in the past, he has never been in a better place than with the Colorado Avalanche.
The Czech winger will have to make the most of his opportunity if he wants to have a substantial extension.
Necas enters the season more motivated than ever to shine with the Avalanche.
Ryan O'Hara of Mile High Sticking recently wrote about the opportunity presented to Necas heading into the 2025-2026 NHL season.
"While raw talent can mask discomfort in the short term, over time even the most casual observer can discern who wants out. To date, Nečas has projected the opposite: commitment, confidence, competitive readiness, and a smile." -O'Hara
While he is in a contract year, there is no rush for an extension. There is plenty of time for him to prove his value throughout the season and to reach maximum value. He will have plenty of weapons next to him to get the most production possible.
"With Nečas now in the fold to begin the season-and, if all unfolds as expected, for the foreseeable future-the Colorado Avalanche enter the campaign with one of the league's most formidable cores intact. Consider the names atop this roster. Nathan MacKinnon appears poised to record another 100-point season, while Cale Makar should comfortably land in the 85-90 range. If Nečas continues on his current trajectory, it is hardly far-fetched to envision him eclipsing the 100-point threshold for the first time in his career." -O'Hara
Necas has all the tools to become a true NHL force. With the Avalanche being the strongest team of his career, a 100-point season, and even a Stanley Cup, could set him up for a massive payday.
