Jake Evans before the game last night: “I think as a guy that prides himself on playing strong defensive hockey, you need to embrace these moments and get excited for these challenges. There’s not a bigger (challenge) than playing against Connor McDavid so I’m excited for it…”

  2. evans has long been one of my favourite habs. he’s continuously humble, never phones it in, and steps up for every assignment. i’m so happy he’s getting more attention recently.

  3. Evans was a big part of our last cup run as defensive depth forward. I’m really hoping we keep him for next run

  4. His college career was stellar, and he’s come along nicely these last few years. Evans has always been a good, smart hockey player. He just needed some time to show it.
    I’ll be pissed if he is a “throw in” in some trade. I think guys like this are hard to replace.

  5. Shutting down McDavid and scoring a goal and assist in the process, prime Jake Evans everybody. Sign this guy now!

  6. Jake evans, 7th round draft pick. Been with the habs the whole time. Has been steadily becoming one of the most stable 2 way forwards for a bottom 6

    4M? Maybe 5.5M ? Be interesting to see if they sign him, trade him at the deadline for high value, or simply let him walk.

  7. With Evans upping his game like has, what do you do with a guy like Beck? They both seem to fit the same role but if you re-sign Evans for 5 years that makes Beck disposable? Just curious about thoughts. Personally I like Evans. 

  8. First round pick for Jake and a first round pick for Savard. I’m not sure if they trade him Evans or not but that’s would I would expect for a third line pivot that is amongst the best pker’s in the game.

  9. I love Evans, but these contract extension numbers are ridiculous. There’s no way he’s getting over 5m a season to stay here.
