Martin Necas, Avalanche grades for $92 million contract extension

The Colorado Avalanche signed Martin Necas to a contract extension recently. Necas came to the Avalanche with a ton of pressure. He was traded for Mikko Rantanen , one of the best players in the game. Those are big shoes to fill for any player. Less than 12 months later, though, he's done enough to sign a long-term contract with the team.

Necas has proven to be an important player for Colorado. He has shown the ability to produce at an elite rate alongside Nathan MacKinnon. Letting Necas go for nothing in NHL Free Agency would have been a brutal blow. Either way, this is a fascinating deal to look at, considering the context. With this in mind, ClutchPoints is providing grades for the $92 million contract extension signed by the Avalanche and Necas.
