So, don't expect a trade for Evans.
An upcoming contract between Jake Evans and the Montreal Canadiens
We now eagerly await the financial details.
Considering the many comparisons between Jake Evans and Phillip Danault, is this a clue?
It's hard to imagine Kent Hughes signing Jake Evans for $5.5 million per year for multiple seasons, but that's what Danault signed for a few years ago.
In your opinion, what would be the ideal amount? Personally, for anything under $4 million per year, I'd sign immediately.
The journalist even mentioned that he expects a long-term contract for Evans.
It won't be like Phillip Danault's $5.5 million per year contract..
That said, overpaying Evans by $1.5 million wouldn't be dramatic in the eyes of the insider.
The salary cap will continue to rise, he reminded. There are still people saying that in two years, it will reach $100 million. Over three years, if you give $1.5 million extra to Evans, no one will complain.
