Hurricanes' Martin Necas: Signs bridge deal
Rotowire
Necas, a restricted free agent, agreed to terms on a two-year, $13 million contract with Carolina on Monday.
Necas was unable to replicate his 2022-23 campaign, failing to reach even the 60-point threshold after having racked up 71 points the year before. Still, the 25-year-old center has back-to-back 50-plus point seasons and has surpassed the 20-goal mark in each of the last two years. This new deal will see Necas hit the open market after the 2025-26 season when he will likely be looking for a long-term contract.
