Michael Amato of Sportsnet reports on the current NHL rumors surrounding Martin Necas, Patrik Laine, and Evgeny Kuznetsov.
Martin Necas had a career-high 83 points last season and may top 90 this season playing alongside Nathan MacKinnon. With the rising cap and recent comparables, Necas is expected to seek over $10 million per season, possibly nearing Mikko Rantanen's $12 million.
Patrik Laine seems to be falling out of favor with head coach Martin St. Louis, potentially playing himself out of Montreal.
Evgeny Kuznetsov had received NHL offers, although the details are not specified.
Will Necas price himself out of Colorado like Rantanen did?
The Avalanche may need to decide whether to play out the year with Necas and risk losing him for nothing or move him before the deadline.
