Jake Evans contract: “the possibility has not been ruled out”

The Canadian can either keep Jake Evans or trade him by March 7 – or by Friday, if you prefer.

If they trade him, it’s likely only if the price is right on the market. And if they keep him, we’ll see if it comes with a contract extension for the rest of the season.

This is the current issue in Montreal, especially with the Canadian’s recent successes. #MessageFromTheGuysToTheLeaders

For a few weeks now, almost everyone has thought that negotiations are not going super well between Evans and the Canadian for a new contract for next season.

On this subject, Renaud Lavoie is the informant who (publicly) believes the most in an agreement.

But another informant has just given hope to those who hope to see Jake Evans continue to play for the Canadian in the coming years: Darren Dreger.

The TSN journalist believes that “the possibility has not been ruled out” by the Canadian, who continues to negotiate with him.

We can wonder if the information was leaked to raise the stakes or if the Canadian really believes, at this point, that they have a chance to sign Evans in the medium/long term.

After all, at the moment, Evans is in demand, but that doesn’t mean the offers are up to what Kent Hughes wants to feel comfortable moving.

Of course, if Evans (who is not talking to the media these days to avoid distractions) wants to sign with the Canadian, both the management and the player will have to put water in their wine. And where is the middle ground in this case? Who knows.

As long as the Canadian doesn’t overpay in the name of the rising ceiling, Evans has his place in town.

In a nutshell

– Was the wrong guy traded?

– Marc-Édouard Vlasic has blocked many shots in his career. #Record

– Deadline: it’s stressful.
