Maple Leafs, Rangers and Ducks Emerge as Leading Suitors for Avalanche Winger Martin Nečas

Colorado's cap outlook, including a costly Cale Makar extension on the horizon, clouds his path to a long-term deal.

Overview

  • Fresh reports link Toronto and New York as primary trade options for Nečas, with Anaheim viewed as a strong candidate due to cap room and a deep prospect pool.
  • An anonymous veteran scout quoted by RG said he would be stunned if Nečas finishes the season in Colorado or signs an extension there.
  • Nečas is in the final season of a two-year, $13 million contract that carries a $6.5 million cap hit.
  • He opened 2025-26 with two goals in a 4-1 win over the Kings, reinforcing his value as a top-six scoring threat.
  • Both sides have expressed interest in finding common ground, but Colorado must decide whether to treat him as an internal rental or move him before the deadline.
