Martin Nečas and the Long Game: A Case for a Contract Extension

In professional sports, silence can be deafening—particularly when it surrounds a player rumored to be discontented.

In early June, veteran insider Nick Kypreos reported that Martin Neu010das was less than fully satisfied with his experience during his initial season with the Colorado Avalanche. The claim sparked swift rebuttals from select members of the media, some of whom dismissed the notion outright. But amid the noise and counterclaims, one voice was notably absent: that of Neu010das himself.
