Value of: Jake Evans

[bleuetbio]

3.5M is the max you should allow to this kind of player. You already should think about Hutson, Demidov, Reinbacher (or Reinbacher replacement) long term money. Dont give too much biscuits to the bottom 6.

 

[Habs Halifax]

80% D zone starts and quite often getting faceoffs against the other teams best lines. Some fans just don't understand usage and evaluate on points only. I don't think he is worth $4M+ AAV but he's certainly not just some average bottom 6F either. There is middle ground here with Evans.

I remember both Habs fans and other fans jumping on Danault's back about his value years ago. Comments like Gallagher is carrying him . Danault was used 80% in the D zone for the Habs magical cup run but most other sample sizes were around 60%. Evans has been around 80% D zone starts for quite some time. That is very high

The other layer is he has been bounced around with our shitty depth and injuries over the years. He was playing with trash and this season, MSL has provided some stability and you can see the results with guys like Anderson, Armia, and Evans. We did it to Lehkonen as well.
