A deal they were hoping to get done sooner than later, the Colorado Avalanche and forward Martin Necas have agreed on an eight-year contract extension worth $92 million. The deal carries an annual average value (AAV) of $11.5 million and includes $60.4 million in signing bonuses.
Necas, who is just 26 years old, came over to the Avalanche on January 24 in the Mikko Rantanen deal last season and went on an offensive run with the team. He finished the season with 11 goals and 28 points in 30 games after the move and a total of 83 points in 79 games during the regular season.
He’s continued that offensive production to kick off his first full season with the Avalanche as well with seven goals and 13 points in 11 games to start the 2025-26 season, helping the Avalanche to a share of the Central Division lead early on.
