Was just about to come here and say this. Jake didn't want to leave and left money on the table for sure. Kent stuck to his guns and he's building a team guys wanna play for. Hopefully every one in the room takes notice. We're building a good culture
The rumblings, are that MB and the guys in LA are thinking they will lure Pezz out there........
Good on Evans for telling his agent, who his agent works for..............not many athletes will do that.Maybe not. Seems his agent was asking for $4m x 5 and that's what Tony reported. When KH didn't budge, Jake told his agent to f*** off and accept the offer. I hope people with a propensity to spit their venom at players without a second thought, will remember what Jake did here today, and resist the urge to make complete assholes of themselves.
Jake Evans Leaves Millions on the Table and Defies His Agent to Stay in Montreal
We're talking about a four-season deal that could change his life. Following this announcement, new and interesting details have surfaced. We love to hear this!www.yardbarker.com
As I said in the Trade Board HuGo gets the credit for building a team and culture that players want to be a part of. I am sure he would have packed his bags months ago if MB was still in charge.
If the team and agent are far apart the GM should talk to the player and make sure he knows what the agent is doing. Avs should have done that, and maybe they did, before trading Rantanen,
It really all started with Caufield and then continued with Slaf and Guhle. But yeah no doubt the players have bought into what is being built here.
thats worst then a debbie downer,.... thats a Debbie kerren downer that finds shopping at dolarama expensive.
then again kent hughes created a team culture where evans wants to stay and take less.
nothing better then coming to work everyday and being happy doing what you love in a top environment.. It is priceless.
Extending now with a club who misses the playoffs, when you could have extended after playing with another club with better chances of winning the cup. So i hope it works out for him and Habs cross the finish line in the playoffs.
He won’t look foolish; he sees what this club is building. He sees the talented players coming up, he sees the direction; Jake is one of the most intelligent players on this squad. Very cerebral. He wants to be part of it. Don’t look further. He loves it in Mtl. Good on him!
Evans probably told his agent to just make a deal because this is a ridiculously good bargain for the Habs. The 5-game win streak and the Dach injury kind of put things in place for Evans to be re-signed imo.
I kinda feel bad for him though because he could've gotten much more on the open market and this was his last chance at a big payday. It shows that he really wanted to stay.
Great job by Hughes, let's see if Evans keep up his play now that he got paid.
*Now that I think of it, I hope that he asked for a NMC cause it would suck for him that take that huge of a hometown discount just to get traded 2 years in
Absolutely….i like EVANS a lot and I’m happy to watch him continue to grow in his trade. In the meantime, he has really helped us with his PK skills and perhaps being the best 4th line center in the NHL.
I was going to say the same. It has nothing to do with Hugues being great, but all with Evans being a loyal dumb
i just hope they will hire a better sound man because I have never been able to catch what they are saying
