What's the max you'd give to Evans?
- Thread starter Le Barron de HF
- Start date
I think ball is in his court. If he wants to re-sign, it should be team friendly. If he wants to maximize, he will go elsewhere. I think he wants to stay here, and I hope he doesn’t push for too much. I understand that ppl can make more money elsewhere. If he wants more money, he should go elsewhere.
This thread demonstrates what is wrong with the NHL. How can Canadian teams compete when our economy is more socialist that the United Statians?

Possibly, but I wouldn't jump too quick. He may have to go back down.

Demidov is a HAB
Could also give him more term at a lower AAV, for someone like Evans, maybe the security of more term might be worth more than a slightly higher AAV over less years.
You can always transition Evans to wing in the bottom 6, or find a way to move him out with 2 years left on his term.

I’ll defer to management on this one, they’ve shown a that they won’t get caught up in nostalgia or emotions, if they decide to sign him I’ll believe it’s because he fits in the plans, if they don’t that’s ok too.

Yes if I’m Evans, I’m definitely testing the market after having a year like this season. It’s his best opportunity to cash out

I'd be open to give him a decent salary if we are talking a 2 year deal but why would he ever do that

I’m very happy I’m not the one who need to make that decision.
Not sure I would want to give him 5 years 20m but at the same time, I don’t think we can replace him. At least for the next 2 seasons

He's an extremely useful asset and that term and cap both seem fair, but how can we answer without knowing what kind of return we can get for him through a trade? He keeps this up, he's going to be quite coveted come TDL. Having Beck and Kapanen in the wings also helps.
If the trade is a good one, I say take it, as much as I appreciate Jake.

People seem to assume his Agent won't have any input he definitely will.

The agent works for the player not the other way around. If a player wants only wants a few teams because of personal/family reasons then those are the teams the agent will actually work on getting deals with. The agent isn't going to constantly presenting offers from teams the player doesn't want to go to just because it's more money.
He lost Danault and Kotkaniemi by being a jerk. True. But after Suzuki, we once again will only have one center come July, with a big question mark on Dach.
Dvorak was a panic move for sure and that's my point. Not to panic sign Evans to a contract higher than what he deserves.

Not sure if Dvorak was a "panic" move. They might have picked up Dvorak because they thought he'd be a genuinely great player.
I think 3.5 AAV is probably the max I'm comfortable with.
I could see him getting 4M, but anything over that is way too much.

An agent has a vested interest and he will always advise the player to go to market ALWAYS and if he doesn't you need a new Agent.
When Hughes talked about being impressed with Bergeron he wasn't following his Agent's advise.
Obviously if Jake wants to stay put he's putting the cards in Kent Hughes' hands.
