I'm not going to beat you up regarding the Evans comment. I know what you're saying, the Habs aren't lucky Evans got killed.
Regardless, I think losing Evans hurts more then getting rid of MS. Evans was playing really well. He contributes more offensively then Leks and is more physical etc. I know there's a number of reasons, but we weren't scoring goals, Evans gets in the lineup and all of a sudden we are. He's out and again,.... offense was anemic. I think he's worth more than it appears.
After the WPG series, not having him is going to hurt. I'm not saying he's a powerhouse, but he's a piece that makes the whole greater than his piece alone would indicate. Probably doesn't matter either way, but the Habs are a better team (at least this POs) with him than without him. The Habs would still beat WPG if MS was in the lineup.
Poor choice of words, I like evans.
