Value of: Jake Evans

[TS Quint]

Look at this. Study it. Look at it again. Study it harder.

Then ask yourself if what you are about to say make sense in term of an offer for an existing NHL player.

What % chance do you have to get a 100 game player when you have 3 picks in the 3rd round?

 

[Jack Spider]

no hes not the guy is legit a black hole on the ice zero iq and takes stupid penalties every game

His PIM has taken a hit when he started playing with bad players. It’s just easier to not take penalties when you have Subban/Markov/Price backing you up or if you play with Suzuki.

 

[jfhabs]

I'd be interested as an Oilers fan, but I can't imagine that Montreal would trade him for the mid to late round pick I think he is worth.

Yeah I'd let him go for that. But I'm not a fan of his.
He's a good skater and a true center, but he's best suited as a 4th line center.

 

[Gaud]

Guy is probably worth a 3rd rounder?
Mtl doesn't do it because he is a cost-controlled 3-4th liner C taking on all defensive missions at a time when the habs are short at C

he is the bad player they tried him with Monahan/Dvorak but he quickly got demoted he was passed by all our wingers because he simply sucks nowadays nobody can look at Gally and call him a good player woudlnt care that much about his contract if he was still decent but hes not

 

[mab894]

You got 3 pretty good centers and you want what's left of our paper thin center position?

Greed is one of the original sin....

definitely a bit greedy lol. I'm a fan of his play and would love to shore up our bottom 6. Him having an extra year makes him an ideal trade target in my eyes

 

[Lolonegoal]

I don't think there's any reason for Montreal to trade Evans. Tremendous role player, does everything you'd want from a 4th liner, but won't command much value in a trade. Montreal's short on centers and he won't ever require a hefty cap hit. He's the kind of player you keep in the organization as long as you can.

 

[Bell Centre Hotdog]

28 years old 6’0 center.

Can skate good, decent on the faceoffs, and PKs.

On a 0.5ppg pace. I deal guy for a contending team looking for some depth and a guy who can move up the lineup when needed.

Final year at 1.7 on current contract.

Habs would be be looking for almost ready NHL prospects looking to make the jump. The Habs would also like players with size as options.

Draft picks aren’t a necessity as the Habs have a ton and looking for roster help for this year and next with quite a few free agents going out the door.

 

[dirtydanglez]

3rd +

 

[John Mandalorian]

Can he really move up the line up on a contending team? Don’t hate him but not sure that description fits.

 

[Bouboumaster]

He's the perfect 3rd center/4th center

We should re-sign him, if his next contract is cheap

 

[loadie]

Hope we keep him. He’s a really underrated player. He has very good speed, can chip in a little offense and a really good PKer and hard worker. I think he can help any contender

 

[Habsrule]

He is worth more to Montreal than anyone else.

Realistic return would be a 3rd round pick. Not enough offence to garner an earlier pick and not physical enough to garner an earlier pick.

He is the type of player who I would like to see signed to a two or three year contract at around the 2-2.5 million dollar mark.

 

[Xirik]

Devils 3rd round pick with some condition for it to turn into a 2nd round pick on it like if the Devils get to the conference finals and Evans plays ____ playoff games.

 

[pth2]

I'd much rather re-sign him. 4 years at 3M would make sense.

Hoping for a 2nd if he gets moved.

 

[FerrisRox]

I would rather the Canadiens re-sign him and make him their third line centre for the next few seasons.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Always need centers. Especially with such a young team.

 

[Baksfamous112]

A few Habs pieces could go at the TDL but I doubt Evans is one of them. I’d like Montreal to bring him back

 

[Wayfarer13]

3rd +

Generous today

 

[belair]

A preferred target for Edmonton as a 4C, but like a lot of people are saying, he's more valuable to Montreal than what most teams are willing to pay.

 

[HabsDood]

I'm keeping this guy

 

[BLNY]

He's the perfect 3rd center/4th center

We should re-sign him, if his next contract is cheap

Hoping for 3x3.

I don't think you get equal value for Evans compared to what a known, capable, player brings to the continuity of the club.

 

[SamHabsFan]

he is probably the only vet id keep, his value would probably be a 3rd or a 2nd, we have plenty of those..Dvorak will be gone next year, Dach is struggling big time (as expected), so we kinda need centers... Beck has been very good in his first pro year and he is penciled in as the next 3rd line C..I would keep Evans as a stop gap until a younger one push him out the line up

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

2nd +, or a 1st with a pick added to Evans, like a 3rd possibly.

 

[bleuetbio]

I dont expect other to overpay for him and I dont expect him to be traded or free at the end of his contract. I expect him an Habs until his 31-32 yo.
