The Slaf contract is questionnable. Price's contract will be traded to a team to reach capfloor while the Habs will still be on the hook for Gallagher and Anderson. The worst is over. Gally goes on LTIR. Laine and Matheson are traded for futures, but the Slaf contract might hurt longterm.

Olivier would have unquestionably got more on the open market than Evans.......and no, he is not "way worst" than Evans lol. Greenway very likely gets more on the open market than Evans as well. Greenway with similar production but at 6'6" 231 lbs with decent wheels and the ability to play on a 3rd line is worth more than Evans in many GM's eyes.
I am happy that we kept him at a reasonable number (definitely a home team discount) and I believe that he will be a significant asset moving forward for this organization but you are engaging this discussion from an egregiously biased perspective with regards to the comparatives that you selected.
Evans shuts down the best players from the opposition every night, he’s more useful than both. I would take Olivier anytime , don’t get me wrong . Greenway is nothing great , just is seize.

Most we would have got is what Laughton returned. Which is late first. Habs really need centers. So way better he signed

I will argue that Evans is back to same struggle that hurt his production in the past. His linemates are not pulling their weight. Heineman doesn't look like an NHLer right now and Armia is ineffective with his injury
That is an insane take to have about a deal that hasn't even started yet.
I come to this board for purely emotional spicy hot takes, leave the rational stuff at the door. I want to be entertained!!

He is and has always been a defensive specialist and at $2.8M per year, he's just fine continuing that role moving forward.

I think he's playing through an injury. Maybe a wrist because he doesn't seem to want to shoot the puck.

The thing is, right now we need that line to be what it was earlier this year. But I think with Armia severly limited, it can't be. Maybe Evans is injured too.

Armia is injured, Heineman has not been the same since coming back from his injury. I'm glad HuGo didn't fall for the recency bias with Evan's line hot first half start.
100K = 1pts
2.85 m = 28,5 pts
Maybe with a small inflation due to the cap going up.
10 g + 20 a = 30 pts with top PK duties is about what I expect for Evans. I call him a 3.5 C, too good to be a fourth line center, not good enough to be a third line center. Still a good contract.

He’s showing us right now that he isn’t "too good" to be a 4th line centre - it’s exactly what he is

I'd play Evans with Laine and Newhook, if Roy is coming out and we're going 11 D. And then find spot duty for Armia and Heineman. They're just not doing much right now.

I want an apology from the posters who wanted to give this guy 4x5 instead of trading him if he didn't sign for something fair.

Josh Anderson is very consistent and he's a 3rd-4th liner.
Players like Evans, if they don't score a bit, they are easily replaceable. Bring in Condotta and you wont see the difference.
Dude is so easy to play against.

Evans playing like crap is probably because he's pissed that this is what he left 5mil on the table for

Yea because that's I said.
Why do some people want to create their own narrative to fit their story? I'm saying the Evans line has zero usefullness. While a crash and bang line would.
