Player Discussion Jake Evans (Part II)

[Redux91]

It's absolutely insane people keep calling him 4th liner..

On ice time alone, you 'could' call Heineman a 4th liner

But Jake playing 18 mins a night, means he is no 4th liner

And even more infuriating then that lol, if you call him a 4th liner, then Dvorak is our 3rd line C
And I'm sorry but he's just not lol

Gotta find a way to keep him imo. We’re too thin at centre to take a step back. His game has grown into a pivotal 3rd line center.

Play on words all you want, I hate interacting with people who do this? Late round picks rarely pan out but those who do have to work extra harder and show more determination. Condescending know it alls make sites like this less enjoyable, you should be proud.

You know what is less enjoyable, ppl making claims they can’t back up and then getting upset when it gets pointed out to them.

Was it a grave mistake to let go of Dannault?

He wasn't traded, he signed as a Free Agent due to Bergevin being an idiot and not negotiating earlier... Aside from the fact that he's a terrible negotiator and contract maker...

Right as of now the rumors are that he's a potential trade target.
Unless you can get back a roster player of equal or better value, you don't trade him for picks... Unless you really want to just let him walk at Free Agency or can't come to a proper financial agreement.

If there are issues with the cap... Fix them, don't pull another Lehkonen.

I backed it up but like a 12 year old you keep arguing. I never ignore posters but consider yourself ignored.

I'd be unhappy if we could have signed him for $4M or under, and didn't.

Over $4M we should not sign him. If we are offered a 1st trade him. If we are offered less than a 1st and we are in the fight I keep him as our own rental. If he wants more than $4M and we are out of it get what we can.

I hope we can sign him.

How valid is the rumor Jake will need to come down on his demands and where is the leak coming from if it is real?

Yeah in these last few years there have been 0 leaks from Hughes and I don't see him as playing that way. I think it's just obvious that as of now Evans is not signed and if they have had any conversations it means Evans is asking for too much and the Habs offering too little.

I agree. If it would be a no brainer he would have been signed by now. Not impossible they sign him but i doubt they are close to a deal atm. My stance on this is the same as it was for Monahan. I think he'll be traded for a 1st round pick. I was right with Monahan time will tell if i'm right here.
