NHL Rumors: Martin Necas, Patrik Laine, and Evgeny Kuznetsov
Recent rumors surround Martin Necas, Patrik Laine, and Evgeny Kuznetsov. Michael Amato of Sportsnet notes that Martin Necas had a career-high 83 points last season and could exceed 90 points this season playing with Nathan MacKinnon.
- Martin Necas may seek over $10 million per season due to the rising cap and recent comparables.
- Patrik Laine seems to be falling out of favor with head coach Martin St. Louis in Montreal.
- Evgeny Kuznetsov had NHL offers, but details are not specified.
With the rising cap and recent comparables, Necas will be looking for over $10 million a season.
A potential Cale Makar extension could impact the availability of funds for Necas, making it challenging for the Colorado Avalanche to retain him. The team must decide whether to keep Necas for the season and risk losing him for nothing or trade him before the deadline.
