He is for the Canadiens… But also for the other NHL teams, who have until Friday to improve their lineup.
And at that level, it’s logical to see that the Canadiens are receiving a lot of calls about their center player.
No shortage of calls coming in on Jake Evans based on what I’m hearing around the league. Montreal’s post-break resurgence obviously makes things interesting. As mentioned before, Habs have told teams they are ok keeping Evans if asking price isn’t met. Could go either way.

If Kent Hughes doesn’t get the price he wants… He won’t be tempted, even if there’s a risk of seeing Evans leave for free on the free agent market in just a few months.
But what’s particularly important to know here is that there’s a lot of interest in the main player right now.
This could cause a kind of bidding war and if that’s the case, maybe the Canadiens will be lucky enough to get more than a 2nd round pick.
His qualities on the ice are really notable (and it’s not new)… And his contract makes him an attractive player for any NHL team.

– He’s in shape, apparently.
Already a 2nd lap for Varsho. Exactly the same momentum as in his first. He’s not ready to play in the field, but at bat, it’s going well.
