Montreal Canadiens forward, Jake Evans, has just signed a solid contract extension with Kent Hughes.
We’re talking about a four-season deal that could change his life.
Following this announcement, new and interesting details have surfaced.
Jake Evans refused to follow his agent and personally accepted Kent Hughes’ offer because he loves Montreal
We love to hear this! As reported by the excellent Pierre LeBrun..
“The Canadiens and Jake Evans’ camp resumed discussions on Sunday after a long period of silence.
I think Montreal more or less held its ground.
Evans then ultimately decided that he didn’t want to leave.”
– Pierre LeBrun
So, it was Jake Evans who accepted less money, and it was Jake Evans who made the decision that he absolutely wanted to stay in Montreal.
A true loyal player!
His agent knew very well that Jake could have gotten much more on the free-agent market, probably over two million dollars more per year..
But Evans genuinely wanted to stay in Montreal, and so did his spouse!
The decision came directly from Jake himself, and he took the initiative to accept Kent Hughes’ firm offer.
“Let’s take a moment to appreciate Jake Evans’ level of love for Montreal and the Canadiens.
He left a lot of money on the table to stay with the team and help them achieve their future championship goals.
I think he deserves a huge ovation at the next game at the Bell Centre.”
– Anthony Martineau, TVA Sports
After signing his extension, Evans had a heartfelt message for Canadiens fans:
Hats off to Jake Evans!
