General Provisions
The Carolina Hurricanes have offered 23-year-old center Martin Necas a two-year, $13 million contract extension with an average annual value (AAV) of $6.5 million. The contract is a show-me deal, meaning that Necas will have to prove himself in the upcoming seasons in order to earn a more lucrative contract in the future.
Details of the Contract
- Two-year term
- $13 million total value
- $6.5 million AAV
- Show-me deal
Caps Implications
The contract will not impact the Hurricanes’ salary cap until the 2024-25 season, when Necas’ $6.5 million AAV will count against the cap.
Necas’ Performance
Necas has shown flashes of brilliance in his four NHL seasons, but he has also been inconsistent at times. In the 2022-23 season, he recorded 14 goals and 20 assists in 78 games, but he also had a minus-13 rating. The Hurricanes are hoping that the new contract will motivate Necas to take the next step in his development and become a more consistent performer.
Hurricanes’ Outlook
The Hurricanes are coming off a successful season in which they won the Metropolitan Division and advanced to the Eastern Conference Final. They are hoping to build on that success in the upcoming season, and they believe that Necas can be a key part of their success.
Kind regards
