The Jake Evans situation continues to spark discussion within the Montreal Canadiens organization and remains a major topic for general manager Kent Hughes.
In the past few minutes, the well-respected Pierre LeBrun has reported significant new developments, particularly regarding the progress of negotiations for a possible contract extension for Jake Evans in Montreal, as well as what Kent Hughes is asking in return for his reliable forward.
“LeBrun on Insider Trading says the Habs and Jake Evans are still far apart and all signs point to a trade.
However Habs are not interested in a 3rd or 4th rounder, the belief is they’d like at least a 2nd round pick and have told teams not to waste their time if the offer is less than that.”
