Martin Necas just received a well-deserved contract extension from the Colorado Avalanche as fans move away from the Mikko Rantanen memories.
The Colorado Avalanche acquired forward Martin Necas in a trade with the Carolina Hurricanes last season in the same deal that sent Mikko Rantanen the other way, who eventually ended up with the Dallas Stars. That move shook Avalanche nation to its core, as Rantanen was loved by every Avs fan.
Now, the two players have each received a massive contract extension, tying them to their new team for another eight seasons.
