Player Discussion Jake Evans (Part II)

[Guiness time]

Thats just what I mean, I don't think going over 4m is an issue. For me personally, it's the 4.5 range where you're getting into an overpayment that might not age well even with cap rising.

You're probably not getting a center with experience and those qualities off UFA for less. So keep the guy you know and is integrated well in the room.

Jake Evans and his agent approve your message.

Tbh the problem was more Savard than Barron. Had Barron be a 3rd pairing guy he would not have been good but the impact on the tem would have been lesser. The problem is Savard sucked in the top 4 so we were stuck with no top 4 RHD. Not that we acquired Carrier Savard is playing less (he replaced Barron) and doing better.

People tend to forget the Hutson Savard pairing did not work for a reason despite the mentorship.

...Evans is resigned, 4 years @ 14 mill...callin' it now...

I think that would be a pretty team friendly deal imo, I'd certainly keep him at that price.

I'm guessing it's more like 4.5 than 3.5. Maybe somewhere in the middle?

In a way, yes. We can't go with a green center line next year and take a step forward.

You won't take a step forward unless the young guys get opportunities.

Sell Evans and promote Beck for the rest of the year.

Giving term and $ to a player with a career high 29 points, riding a 29% shooting bender in a contract year is exactly how not to run an organization.

Giving that contract would be a Bergevin special.

But we would need experience at C for next year for sure.

Often times late draft picks pan out because they know the odds are against them and they simply work their butts off and it pays off.

In the case of Jake Evans had he had LeFebvre instead of Bouchard I doubt he makes it.

Bouchard has done a great job with our young players.

Often times? Are you sure?
