Rantanen vs Necas points race to end of season.

[Pierre Larouche]

Mikko is an incredible goal scorer. He’s better than Necas at that. He also has an amazing playoff resume.

However, Necas’ speed and ability on the puck results in him driving the play almost every shift. He’s not a passenger like Mikko has been for a couple of years now; Necas grabs the steering wheel and puts the pedal to the metal.

I love both players. I got to see some highlights of the Avs v Flames from 2/6/25 and Necas was amazing. Holy guacamole.

There’s no way that Rantanen doesn’t pick up his game once he finds more chemistry with the Canes lineup, but Necas fitting in so well right away in Colorado could actually have him finish ahead in points.
