A few days after the famous NHL trade deadline, information about Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens continues to circulate.
In particular, regarding Jake Evans, the excellent insider Pierre LeBrun had some interesting things to share.
For those who still doubted it, interest in Evans was huge across the NHL, and no fewer than four teams called Kent Hughes about his centerman.
Pierre LeBrun reveals four potential trades that were negotiated involving Jake Evans (before, of course, his new contract signing in Montreal)
See what he mentioned during his podcast, Radar.
“I can tell you some teams that have been confirmed to me and that called [Kent Hughes for a trade involving Jake Evans]:
Winnipeg, Toronto, New Jersey, and Minnesota.. They are all among the teams that called the Canadiens, among others, so it was very real, the decision for the Canadiens and Jake Evans.”
Pierre LeBrun, who adds that he truly believes Jake Evans would be traded today if he hadn’t accepted his contract extension.
He believes the Canadiens “couldn’t afford” to keep Jake Evans without a contract extension, suggesting that the trade offers were very appealing.
But what exactly were the trade offers?
We’re talking about a second-round pick:
“At the end of the day, if Jake Evans wasn’t signed [on Friday], I think Kent Hughes takes the second-round pick.”
