4 years, $2.85M AAV

 

[KingsHockey24]

Overrated bum.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Thought they'd take advantage of the crazy high prices at this year's deadline, but that's a pretty damn good contract

 

[Guy Larose]

$2.85M AVV

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Good deal on top of that.

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Wow. Much cheaper than I expected.

Glad to have Evans for the next 4 years at that pricetag.

 

[shello]

Was looking forward to seeing him net a first and see the shock of HF, but you can't be upset with that contract

 

[TomKosto]

Hughes is so good at contract negociation!

 

[amnesiac]

Great deal

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Thank god, that's one player I wasn't really interested in.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Wow actually a pretty good deal for one of the top pker in the league. He definitely took a hometown discount to stay

 

[Habs 4 Life]

I was expecting something closer to 3.5 per year, especially with the cap going up! Well done KH!!

 

[TCIH]

I'm happy with that number and term. I hope he keeps up his strong play.

 

[bobholly39]

2.85? What the hell - I expected him to sign for minimum half of that with salary cap going up.

I love it as a Habs fan, but that's a terrible job by his agent.

 

[Goal Caufield50]

great deal for habs

 

[Zirakzigil]

Seems like a pretty solid contract for the Habs.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Great deal for the habs

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Seems rather fair. The cap going up is for the top half of the roster not the bottom, at least in the GMs minds I'd imagine.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Man, Hughes is good at negotiating contracts.

 

[TomKosto]

2.85? What the hell - I expected him to sign for minimum half of that with salary cap going up.

At the same time, if it was not for that hor streak couple mouths back, nobody was talking about 4m per year.

 

[Rafafouille]

Good to see that Hughes didn't get trigger happy when Evans was hot. 5pts in 25 games in 2025. Still a good pker and solid 4th line center but he is what he is. 2.85m is right around what he's worth. Those 4+ speculations were ridiculous.

 

[Soundgarden]

For 2.8 that's a great deal.

 

[thebestnic]

Overrated bum.
