Evans is a good 4C and I am good keeping him longer term as long as the money does not get stupid. While I think Cs are of course the most important forward position, Evans is making $1.7M now. Thats already a decent amount for a 4C. For a 3C you are going to pay into that range of $3.0M-$4.5M.

Dvorak should be gone by the TDL but certainly by seasons end. So we need a 3C and maybe 4C and the possible Cs ( Beck, Kapanen, Hage , Xhekaj ) are 2-3 years away from a full time role is my estimate.

Ideally we sign Evans to a 3 year deal , which fits with a bottom 6 guy. Unfortunately he will want a pay bump and we get into pretty big numbers unless he can play a 3C role, but Newhook may get that job.

Might as well close this thread...anyone left in free agency now, pretty much isn't getting signed until late in the summer to either a very cheap deal, or a PTO.

I think we should get other players that can PK instead.

Keeps Slaf fresher for ES and PP.

I'd try Newhook since he's the fastest skater, has a laser shot and improved on the dot. He'd provide a threat on the PK and either make opposing teams more conservative or punish them

He's not a player that makes your team win. He's a decent pk center and after that there isn't much to say. He's not physical at all, he skate well enough, this is not his problem, no wow, I think Habs should put more quality, more money on the 4th center than Evans. Someone with a bigger physical presence.

I commend Evans for being a 207th overall pick to carving out an NHL career. That is amazing but Habs need better players.

I get what you are saying, but he is also not a player that makes your team loses. I don't mind him at all on 4C, surround him with big bodies and he could do a good proper role.
