Stop what you’re doing and read this carefully. If you think you know what Martin Necas is capable of after his impressive 83-point campaign last year, you need to recalibrate your expectations. The move to the Colorado Avalanche at the 2025 trade deadline was just the appetizer. Now, we get the main course, and I’m telling you, it’s going to be a fantasy hockey feast.
Forget the 83 points (27 goals, 56 assists) he posted in 79 games; that’s his floor, not his ceiling. Playing a full season in the Avalanche’s high-octane system, Necas isn’t just going to produce; he’s going to explode. The real question isn’t if he’ll set a new career high, but by how much. Based on my analysis of his skill set and his new deployment, I’m planting my flag on a massive season.
My official 2025-2026 projection for Martin Necas: 31 Goals and 64 Assists for 95 Points.
Let’s break down why this isn’t just optimistic—it’s inevitable.
A Perfect Storm in the Rockies
As an analyst, you look for perfect fits—a player whose unique talents are magnified by the system and teammates around him. This is exactly what we have with Martin Necas in Colorado. Last season’s 83 points were phenomenal, but they were accrued largely without the benefit of playing alongside a generational talent like Nathan MacKinnon for a full 82 games. Necas’s elite speed and vision were already on full display, but now they are a complementary weapon rather than the primary focus of defensive schemes.
Think about the sheer gravity MacKinnon exerts on the ice. He draws the top defensive pairing and the primary checker every single shift. This creates an ocean of space for a player like Necas to operate in. His transition game is already one of the best in the league, but now he’ll be leading the rush with more room to move and better finishers to dish to. We saw glimpses of this after the trade deadline, but a full training camp and 82-game slate will build a chemistry that could rival some of the top duos in the entire NHL.
The Power Play Juggernaut
This is where Necas goes from a star to a fantasy hockey supernova. Let me paint a picture for you: a power play quarterbacked by Cale Makar, with Nathan MacKinnon unleashing one-timers, a healthy Gabriel Landeskog creating havoc at the net-front, and the versatile Artturi Lehkonen retrieving pucks and capitalizing in tight spaces. Now, you add Martin Necas’s right-handed shot and elite playmaking from the half-wall. It’s an embarrassment of riches. He gives the unit a dual-threat distributor alongside Makar, preventing penalty-killing units from simply shading towards one side of the ice.
The seams that will open up for him to thread passes to Landeskog or set up MacKinnon will be plentiful. His 56 assists from last season are impressive, but I project at least a third of his 64 assists this year will come with the man advantage. The points will flow, and Necas will be holding the faucet. He’s no longer just a good power-play option; he’s a key component of what should be the league’s number one unit.
