"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."
"A second trade would later see the Hurricanes move Rantanen to the Avs' Central Division rival Dallas Stars. Receiving Necas in return created the belief that the Avs could use him as Rantanen's replacement as their top-line right winger. Necas' arrival saw him score 11 goals and 28 points in 30 games for the Avs as part of a season that saw him finish with 27 goals and a career-high 83 points."
Martin Nečas, 26, signed an eight-year extension with the Colorado Avalanche that begins next season and pays $11.5 million annually with $60.4 million in signing bonuses and a full no-trade clause for the first seven years.

Nečas was traded from the Carolina Hurricanes last season and scored 11 goals and 28 points in 30 games for the Avalanche, finishing with 27 goals and a career-high 83 points. This season he has seven goals, 13 points and averages 21:14 of ice time.
