Necas could sign a contract ranging from 6 to 8 years with an annual salary of $7 to $7.5 million. This estimate, shared by David Pagnotta and Anthony Di Marco, aligns with the Canadiens' salary structure, remaining below the contracts of Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, as well as the future contract of Juraj Slafkovsky.
At 25, Necas, a first-round pick in 2017, recorded 53 points in 77 games this season, with 9 points in 11 playoff games.
