Well he's small, very smol.

Bulk up kid, bulk up!!Jake Evans looks like he can be a 2nd line center in the NHL, he has the work ethic necessary. He has the offensive instincts, just a matter of gaining experience and adjusting to the speed game. He's already above average in the faceoff dot with a good two way game.
Jake Evans will graduate tomorrow after studying Business at Notre Dame for the past 4 years.
i don't think you need a degree to understand X and O's...Smart kid. Xs and Os should be a breeze for him.
Skating from what I have read is an issue and has to improve
Yeah I think he had an hernia? Something like that. Should be good to go for training camp!I hope he makes an impact in the AHL he's a promising prospect, did he recently have a surgery or got injured?

Evans has sports hernia surgery on May 2nd and the expected recovery time was 12 weeks. So he should be able to start training towards the end of the July. I think he will start in the AHL and I'm hoping he is close to a pt/game by the end of the season with a few NHL games mixed in here and there.
What is the center depth in Laval this year? Evans, Vejdemo, Audette, Alain, Froese, Verbeek. You can include McCarron but I think he plays RW this year. Who am I missing? Will be interesting to see how Bouchard evaluates his game and uses him.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Chaput and Bitten can be included in your list of C depth for Laval.
Yeah, you're probably right about Bitten.I think they play wing. They have ability to play center but are mostly wingers. Not 100% sure on Chaput though. Bitten is a RW at this stage IMO.
I'm an optimist but I have zero faith that Evans will be anything of note in the NHL. He seems to skinny, not a good enough skater and not really good enough at much else to make him a top 9. Would love to be wrong.
