Montreal has Christian Dvorak and Jake Evans as their bottom six centres and if they were to move one of those guys, it would be Dvorak, not Evans, and there's really no reason to do that until much closer to the deadline.

To clear a spot for PLD , duh.
yea let's trade our 4th line center for a 4th or 5th putting us in a situation where we have to overpay a 2nd for someone else's 4th line center because we have to replace evans and no one else finds it fun to give away their centers just for the thrill of the trade.

I say trade Dvorak now for... peanuts to make room for Kapanen. Then trade Evans at the deadline if Beck is ready.

Is he? 28 years old, 1.75M and put up 28 points last year while having PK duties.
If he’s on the market at the TDL I think he would be valuable to a lot of teams as a good two-way 3C or 4C
No offense? At ~30 points I bed to defer. That’s pretty average for a good two-way 3C and best in business as a 4C

Evans to LA makes sense based on what I've read as well, though LA fans know best.
If Dvorak is hard to move and Evans is looking for more $ than Montreal wants to extend him for, he might get moved. I'd rather hope for a 2nd as a rental, but if Montreal needs a C spot to keep Kapanen around, moving Evans might work.
Doesn't mean LA is a great destination for him though. For LA, I see Dvorak as more likely, simply due to the Bergevin factor.

There is no doubt that the BRILLIANT BargainBin will wisper nice sexy things about Dvorak and Blake will trade Byfield for him.
Yes...we planted BargainBin in LA to Rob you blind!

Draft em but don't play em
I don't hate it, just seems unnecessary at this time. Maybe revisit near the deadline, MTL would get more value imo when team needs shake out

I agree, but it's still a reasonable conversation to have. If LA badly needs a center, maybe the return is there for an immediate move.

It’d be one thing if they had a young player with more upside, to fill the same role. If they had a Peyton Krebs like guy, who will likely end up a very good 3C in another couple of years.
They don’t have that player. So unless they’re acquiring one, or even a Kampf, then there’s no reason to trade him at all.
