Martin Necas was a part of tons of offseason drama/rumors, the Carolina forward signed a new 2-year deal worth $13 million with the Carolina Hurricanes, and he was almost traded NHL insider Frank Seravalli said that multiple deals fell apart.
There was one team for sure they had a trade agreed to,” Seravalli said. “And Necas would not agree to sign a new deal with that new team.”
“There was another deal on the table,” Seravalli said. “I believe it was Winnipeg. I think Winnipeg offered Rutger McGroarty, Cole Perfetti, and some pick.
For now, Necas is staying with the Hurricanes which isn’t a bad thing for Fantasy as he’s staying with a very good team that lost players this offseason.

Martin Necas is expected to be on the 2nd line, the Hurricanes lost Jake Guentzel this offseason to the Tampa Bay Lightning, which is a huge hit as Guentzel was a star on the Hurricanes but Necas has a great shot once again to shine, he’s expected to be on the top Powerplay once again, with Sebastian Aho, Brent Burns, Andrei Svechnikov, Necas obviously and Seth Jarvis.
Final Thoughts
Martin Necas in his career has been a good player, he may be on the 2nd line but he’s now very clearly the 3rd-4th best forward on the Hurricanes with them losing some key players like Guentzel.
On ESPN’s Fantasy hockey rankings, Necas is 162, the 28th-best RW.
161. Mario Ferraro, SJ, D52

Necas averaged 17:45 of ice time per game last season, which was down from 18:25 in 22-23, it should be back up to 18 minutes maybe even 19-20.
