Well, not like they were not negotiating with Rantanen last summer. Apparently they did get very close on a deal too. I don't really see how CMac would play this any differently with Necas, if his asking price is too much.
Let's hope he wants to settle in.
This guy will be in the ten million+ range. Depending how the season goes, could be even 12mil if he blows up.

8 years + Bank. Dude moves his feet and has yet to realize his full potential. Whatever the dollar figure I am very happy he's getting paid by the Avs instead of Rants. CMac made a genius level deal, and got Drury and picks as well. Genius.
Expecting anything under double digits is completely unrealistic, imo.
Iirc, there were reports he asked 10 million aav on a longterm deal from Carolina last summer. Probably could have been negotiated down a little bit, but things have changed a lot since the summer, wrt the future cap. Got to remember his new contract will start when the cap is 104 million. His contract demands last summer were based on an 88 million cap.
I'd expect his ask this summer to be in the ~12 million range, hopefully it can be negotiated down to 11-ish. Could also have a situation where Necas will just say "12 million or I bet on myself in the next season". Flipside of that is of course Necas and his agent knows damn well CMac might swing his huge brass balls at him and tell him to enjoy his contract year in Anaheim or Buffalo.
I think in the end he'll be re-signed this summer. If it's 11x8, I'm a very happy camper. In that case the AAV increase on Necas' contracts will be 4.5 million (from 6.5) in an offseason the cap increases 8.5 million and Manson's contract goes off the books. Expecting 11.5-ish, though.
