The Colorado Avalanche got a major piece of business done on Thursday, announcing the extension of star winger Martin Necas. The eight-year, $92 million contract ends a highly uncomfortable period that could have ended with a public relations nightmare for the Avs.
Think about it.
Necas and the Avalanche were like a marriage on the rocks. They were headed toward splitsville, but friends, family, and everyone else around them tried their best to keep them together.
In the end, they realized that they were never going to be happy apart. The realization was that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
