Best case scenario a 3rd. But only because teams overpay at the deadline.

I would retain him unless a second or equivalent was available. Give a Laval pivot like beck a chance

really? with Dvorak also 100% gone, who play Cs?
suzuki, Dach (who's still not in game shape) and ....Rookies?

They'll try to resign Evans and they certainly aren't trading him for a 3rd.
guaranteed.
They have 7 picks in the 1st 3 rounds

Id resign Evans. Trade Dvo or let him walk.

I’d offer Jakob Pelletier and a 4th round pick for Evans. Would love to upgrade the 4th line centre position on the Flames and think he could contribute over the next few seasons in the bottom 6 (assuming we’d resign him before offseason).

 

[Xirik]

He's one of the best 4th line centers in the league which has value but its still 4th line.

Early 3rd/ very late 2nd round pick value I think.

Slightly less than Lars Eller fetches
Slightly more than Nico Sturm fetches

Jakob Pelletier is small and has not shown he can be effective as an NHL player- but he's French!!! Sorry, but Jakob Pelletier and a 4th-round pick isn't going to get it done. The Habs will re-sign Evans if they can come to a mutually agreeable deal, or they will wait for a better offer.

Yeah, I knew this would be the reaction. Worth a try, and it could be the starting point in a trade negotiation. Flames really aren’t in a position to overpay for a rental, but if they thought he was a part of the future and would resign reasonably I could see a better offer to the Habs.

A pick and or a prospect I suppose , but at some point we have to stop rebuilding and start building . A player like Evans in the bottom six can be just as important as players like Suzuki , Caufield or Dach in the top six . IMO the Habs should try to resign him .

He's starting to play like he was before the Scheifele hit. He could still become a good 3rd line C.

That's a shit offer. Better to keep him.

I would hold out for a first. If I couldn't get it - sign him. He's good 4th line center

 

[Dr Quincy]

That may be true.

 

[DJN21]

Evans is a burgeoning star....gonna take a brinks truck....

 

[Bouboumaster]

Habs should resign him tbh

 

[pth2]

I'd rather re-sign him than get some picks.

If moved, I expect a 2nd and a 4th or similar value.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Habs should keep Evans. seems like a no brainer , all those teams need a 4th line center than can play PK and do faceoffs

I was looking at the advanced analytics for the Habs today and it's a nightmare of bad performances by the vast majority of that roster.

But Evans and Dvoark are actually two of the rare exceptions to the analytics fiasco that is the 2024-25 Habs.

If Evans can play relatively well on this ish-show of a team... Is this the type guy that probably plays even better on a team that doesn't stink?

Dvorak may also fit into that bucket.

I'd be interested in either of these guys if the Habs put them on the market.

The Habs may want to think about resigning one or both of them.

Dvorak is available for cheap.

For Evans, you need an offer the Habs can't refuse unless Evans prices himself out on an extension.
