5 years/20 million

I have a feeling if the Habs let Jake Evans walk they will spend a few seasons trying to find a replacement.

If we even find a replacement.

Best case is probably to sign him to a reasonable contract before he gets to FA status. Maybe 3 million per year? A bit more? It depends on whether you think the additional ice time he gets on a bad team compensates for playing on a team that doesn’t generate much offense.

I imagine something like 4x3.5 max but he’s easily 2C right now so habs don’t have much leverage.

They might be afraid and play him with Laine so his stats are padded ahead of going ufa. They closed out tonight’s game together I think.

I’d rather they overpay a real offensive 2c and play youth bottom 6 if it comes down to a choice there but so many scenarios ahead.
