What contract do you think Evans gets as a UFA this July. Interested in hearing from non Habs fans.

Monahan just got 5x $5.5M and all GM's already knew the cap would be $92M for next year. Evans can't get that and I believe most agree. What are the predictions on his next contract and would your team want to sign him as a UFA.
 
I think about $12.5 million total divided up over anywhere from 3-5 years.

He will be 29 to start next season.

$2.5 AAV x 5 for his 29 thru 33 aged seasons.

$3.135 AAV x 4 for his 29 thru 32 aged seasons.

$4.167 AAV x 3 for his 29 thru 31 aged seasons.

I mean $2.5 seems like a team friendly number but that cap hit will stick for a while and he’s probably not gonna shoot 23% again.

$4 million seems high but you get his prime years and then he’s off the books. We’ve seen worse players get “4” short term on rebuilding teams to guide development and then fall off the ledger when the bill for young talent comes due.

If I’m Evans and his agent - this is really my one chance to cash in. I’d say the total contract is more important than how the AAV breaks down - though obviously that will be important from the team side.
