I doubt they trade him but it comes down to dollars and return.
Evans career year remember. Just so happens in contract year??
Value of: Habs veterans between now and Deadline.

K.H should never deal with AVS again, Newhook and Barron are putrid...
Full salary ? Future consideration.
At 50% ? I would rather keep him, instead of that, he's fine on the bottom-6.

As a fan of both teams, I would keep Evans and dont trade him except if I can solve the 2nd line center problem and as a Avs fan, I wouldnt sacrifice Cal Ritchie.
Heinemann is another guy I would target for the Avs

Caufield is lit
Montreal shouldn't move Evans and Heineman. Both are solid bottom-6 guys that we'll need for next years. We can let Evans walk neither. He just keeps getting better.

Doubt we moving Anderson unless you blow us away with offer. He's our only physical forward on small team. Has good value to us. As rebuilding team his contract no factor to us.
Heineman is solid player. Making league minimum on pace for 20 goals playing 4th line minutes. We not moving him unless you want to overpay.
Most predictable 23% shooting % heater of all time. Knew it was coming before I even checked.

Yup, has a good shot. Good young player. Future 30 goal scorer, good Mid liner. Speed with size
Lol.
How many times will it take for the lesson to be learned that buying into high shooting %s is not a good idea.
New RHP just dropped
and youre an idiot if youre giving him more than $3M per
They have Beck and Hage coming at ELC anyway..... theres zero room to overspend on bottom 6 players.
Huston's gonna get, what, $9-10M x8 year in a few years? then theres Demidov, Reinbacher, Mailloux, the 2025 pick. Rather give up a bottom 6 than a top 6.
Having guys coming on ELC would actually make room to overspend on bottom 6 (or top 6) players.
You can also trade Evans in 2-3 years if you need the money then.

It's Kent Hughes, the guy's entire reputation is being known for fleecing anyone who picks up his phone call. If GMs were smart they'd start blocking his number near TDL lol
hes going to ask for $4M+
and if he underperforms a la: Armia, Dvorak, Gallagher, Anderson then youre stuck with him
And what if he doesn't under perform?
I'm no seer so I can't say what he'll sign for, but I disagree than anything over 3M is idiotic.
@Natey oh look a laughing emoji reply from someone who cant give a sensible argument
Question is youre willing to take that chance on a guy who's having his best season in his contract year? Hes a UFA, so hes not going to settle for a 3 year contract.
How many bad examples do you need of the Habs dishing out bad UFA contracts over the years? especially bottom 6 players
if hes a 40-50P player every year of his contract then great.

Montreal would be idiotic to deal either of them.
Heinemann is not available and Evans should be re-signed
and if not, sold to the highest bidder - which will be more than a 2nd imo..
You really think a team would be dumb enough to give him more? doubt it.
Hes far from being a proven consistent 40P player as it is. He may not even get 40P this season, just a hot first half. I mean the guy has never even had 30P before.

But you know you'll not get a 2nd line center for free?
If you could grab a Ritchie, Savoie, Nadeau, Moore, Kulich, Lambert kind of prospect by combining theses kinds of assets, you should at least think about it.
When do you ever see trades like this?
Where a seller manages to turn mid tier rentals into top end prospects by packaging them.
There's just not really an incentive for the team with the players you say to do that. They all have picks and lower tier prospects they can use instead

No, Those prospects aren't great. Evans on pace for 22 goals and excellent penalty kill and defense player. On cheap contract. He has high value
