The trade deadline is in four days. Are you ready for it?

Naturally, we have to consider this: the Canadiens are currently #DansLeMix of the playoff race. The team’s four straight wins after the Four Nations tournament have been beneficial.

In fact, the Canadiens are three points away from the playoffs.

The big question in Montreal is whether center Jake Evans will be traded or stay in Montreal. And if he stays, will he have a contract extension in his pocket?

This will depend on the player’s demands and the offers on the market, obviously.

How much will teams line up to get him? That’s a question being asked… and it’s a question that’s constantly evolving in the days leading up to the deadline.

For example? If a center gets injured on a team that already needs help at center, it can affect the market.

Because the Canadiens have one of the most in-demand centers in the NHL right now, and because the Devils just saw a center get injured, it’s logical to link the two teams – who were already linked to some extent.

But because the injured center is Jack Hughes, we have to remember that the reinforcement they’ll be looking for to replace the star, if the injury is as bad as expected, won’t necessarily be Jake Evans.

Be aware: I’m not saying Jake Evans couldn’t go to New Jersey. But the team needs a top-6 center… and the Devils have one of the most effective numerical disadvantages in the league this season.

The fit isn’t huge with the Devils.

I’m not saying Evans won’t go to New Jersey. What I’m saying is that he’s not the one who should be targeted first to replace Hughes because we’re not talking about the same player.

To be continued in the next hundred hours or so.
