“I think Necas is probably the most interesting place. Just because, you know, he came to Denver last year, obviously as part of the Mick Rantanen trade. And you know, so he doesn’t have the same length of history with the team, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to stay. That’s not what I’m saying at all, but I think, you know, it might be a little bit of a different negotiation.
You know, he was also happy to keep things going. So his agent and the Avalanche, they’re definitely prepared for the way the negotiations are going to go. Like, the conversations happening around him didn’t seem all that lively.

And, you know, the season has just started, but you know, he’s already started the year with some results. You know, if he has a season, you know he’s going to score 80, 90 points. I know he is, I thought he was in the 80s last season with both teams. But if he’s trying to increase his output, you know, maybe that’s not in his interest.
I mean, maybe he looked around at the empty boards and thought, Hey, this is a good time to absolutely maximize my revenue. So, you know, I don’t know, it’s not really a prediction, but I can see, I can see where the terms for that are, especially if Necas has, you know, really has a good season. I mean, if you were him, you’d have to spend a lot of money to pass up the chance to become a free agent. “
