Avalanche sign forward Necas to 8-year extension
Forward Martin Necas will remain with the Colorado Avalanche after signing an eight-year extension, the club announced Thursday.
Getting a new deal done for Necas was a priority with the 26-year-old in the second season of a two-year bridge deal that was worth $6.5 million annually. Necas' new contract, which starts next season, will see him earn $11.5 million annually, a source told ESPN's Emily Kaplan.
The source also said that Necas will have $60.4 million in signing bonuses while having a full no-trade clause in the first seven years of the deal.
Necas signed his current contract in July 2024 when he was playing with the team that drafted him, the Carolina Hurricanes. He was in his strongest season before the Hurricanes included him in a package in the first of two trades involving Mikko Rantanen last season. A second trade would later see the Hurricanes move Rantanen to the Avs' Central Division rival Dallas Stars.
Avalanche Signs Necas
The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today that the team has signed forward Martin Necas to an eight-year contract extension through the 2033-34 season.
Necas, 26, is in his first full season with the Avalanche in 2025-26 and has registered 13 points (7g/6a) in 11 games. The forward ranks among team-leaders in goals (2nd), points (3rd), assists (5th), power-play points (4, T-3rd) and multi-point games (3, T-3rd). The Nove Mesto na Morave, Czechia, native began the season on an eight-game point streak (6g/6a), his longest such run to begin a campaign in his career.
Acquired by the Avalanche in a trade with the Carolina Hurricanes on Jan. 24, 2025, Necas has recorded 41 points (18g/23a) in 41 regular-season games for the Avs and has added five points (1g/4a) in seven Stanley Cup Playoffs contests. He picked up his 40th point in a Colorado sweater in his 38th game (Oct. 23, 2025), the fastest Avalanche to the 40-point benchmark since the franchise relocated to Denver (NHL debut or otherwise).
