Player Discussion Jake Evans (Part II)
- Thread starter ahmedou
- Start date
I have a feeling if the Habs let Jake Evans walk they will spend a few seasons trying to 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.

hope they don't overpay to keep him because that shooting percentage isn't replicable. but those who said if you get rid of him, you'll be paying the same price to replace him are right.
i want a bigger bottom 6 but Evans has rounded out his game. he used to be way more vanilla. he's good enough now that you can sacrifice some size for what he brings to the table. we just have to develop or bring in some big bottom 6 wingers (Xhekaj, Tuch)

He is having an excellent season so far...............good tiing on his part.
I think in January we hear about a 4 year extension......3.5M X 4 years. 14M should do it, and it doubles his current contract. He deserves that for sure.

He will be the 3rd line center next season and Beck will Center the 4th.

Nobody talks about him but I wouldn't underrate what Dvorak has been doing the last month or so. I know the narrative is that he sucks and is vanilla, but he's been the glue of that third line.
He has been really good but you can't keep them all. At 4.5 mil though you need more than 11 points

I'd go as high as 4x4 on him. I think his game will age well, and losing him would be a large step back that we frankly can't afford

100% resign him, just don't give him a NTC. If he becomes expendable in the future, as long as the contract is alright, we can get something reasonable in return.
