Insider Frank Seravalli Proposes Intriguing 3-Piece Trade Between Canadiens and Maple Leafs
The well-known case of the impending trade involving Montreal Canadiens forward Jake Evans continues to generate a lot of buzz, and not just here.
Earlier today, insider Frank Seravalli, who has numerous sources within the National Hockey League, addressed this situation and even put forward a concrete trade proposal involving the Montreal Canadiens and.. the Toronto Maple Leafs.
A concrete trade proposal between Montreal and Toronto involving Jake Evans
Here is the trade he suggested:
And here is part of his explanation:
From the Canadiens' perspective, if Evans isn't coming back, they'll want to maximize value. They had a mid-second-round pick on the table for Evans at last June's draft; this isn't that, given that it's Florida's pick, but maybe a prospect (another Finnish forward who was a second-round pick in 2020) will be enough."
"It doesn't sound the Canadiens are on a path to getting an extension done with Evans, who is now more likely to move than not"

Given that contract extension discussions between Jake Evans' camp and the Montreal Canadiens are not going particularly well, a trade seems even more likely.
What is your opinion on the trade proposed here by Frank Seravalli, involving Evans, a second-round pick, and Roni Hirvonen?
Jake, who was born in Toronto, would probably not mind playing for his hometown team and even signing an extension there.

Hirvonen, 23 years old, 5 feet 10 inches, and 178 pounds, was indeed a second-round pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2020.
He has recorded 28 points over the past two seasons in the American Hockey League, following a strong stint in Finland's top league.
