The Carolina Hurricanes have agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with forward Martin Necas, keeping one of its most skilled offensive players through the 2025-26 season. The team announced the deal Monday, providing some roster certainty for the 25-year-old Czech who had been discussed as a trade candidate since the close of Carolina's sixth straight playoff season. Necas had 24 goals and 29 assists in 77 games last year. That followed a breakout 2022-23 season with 28 goals and 43 assists for a team-best 71 points in in 82 regular-season games.
