10+ Minutes of Rantanen and Necas Highlight-Reel Plays
The Carolina Hurricanes acquired forward Mikko Rantanen from the Colorado Avalanche and forward Taylor Hall from the Chicago Blackhawks in a blockbuster three-team trade Friday.
Colorado acquired forwards Jack Drury and Martin Necas, along with a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft from Carolina, and forward Nils Juntorp from Chicago, which acquired a third-round pick in the 2025 Draft from Carolina.

Necas goals look sweet asf
It makes no sense to let Mikko go we gonna miss you. If you don’t like there COME BACK!
RIP to Mack and Rantenan duo💸😢
Necas was having his best season in Carolina and they swept him like that. Necas is a technical player and needs to have like-minded players around him. He'll have a tough time in Colorado. Hopefully this doesn't ruin his career. 🙁
:/
Jeez Colorado will have MacKinnon, Makar and Nečas on ice in OT… well good luck
Now watch Necas absolutely fly next to MacKinnon, fastest line in the NHL rn and its not even close.
People sleeping on Necas are absolutely crazy. Necas is 8 points short of Rantanen with less ice time and he did not play with MacKinnon and Makar. Let him fill Rantanen's shoes and he's going to pop off. On the other hand let's watch Rantanen do the same with Canes… I doubt he's going to keep the pace in there.
Wow great games
Necas is scary fast and smooth. I'm not so sure I would be giving up on the season that quick for the Avs. They also gain some salary cap space to make another trade now.
All my Avs jerseys have 96 on the back. I can’t believe it 🤯
Man I'm gonna miss the Moose 🫎😭
Guys tbh, Necas gonna be crazy with Mackinnon. They will become one of the BEST duo in the league. At least semifinale in playoff. Mark my words🏒🇨🇿
Neci bomb is about to explode
Please, Avs people, take a good care of Nečas, you're gonna love him 🥺 And don't worry, Mikko is also in good hands, alongside Aho they will have fun too 😎
Hope necas can keep it steady from season to season.
It's just funny to think rantanen wanted yhe amount that draisaitl got I mean sure he's great but not 14,9m great. More like 11-12
Necas and Mac is going to be filthy
Rantanen is a beast and phenom but the problem is he tends to get lazy and disappears often. If he was consistent, he'd be on the same level as Draisaitl. I never knew Rantanen was actually a loud mouth and always thought he was a cool and calm guy like most Finnish players are….or maybe that's Swedes.
Necas on the other hand looks like a poor mans Jagr. He has the high flying ability and agility to razzle and dazzle even like Mogilny…..but maybe he ends up more like Elias or even less like a Hertl. Rantanen is the better player overall but man he will frustrate you because he seems to be wasting such talent and size he has but doesn't show up many nights.
Idk bro the 1:2 punch 🥊 of Mackinnon & Rantanen just was different.
Necas actually tall glider guy
The Moose & C-Bass, I'm quite sure they'll find common ground.
You watch these highlights and think: Damn Nečas is a player huh… then you watch the pure class and magic of Rantanen and discover a whole new realm of a "player"
