Some Players Have Already Been Told They're Done and Will Be Traded, According to Sources
The renowned insider Elliotte Friedman has just shared some interesting information regarding upcoming trades during the Four Nations Faceoff.
This might also explain the rather unexpected statement from Jake Evans during a press conference following the Montreal Canadiens' most recent game (the last one before the break), where the number 71 outright said that it was an honor for him to play for the Canadiens Organization.
Let's just say that doesn't sound like someone confident he'll be playing another game with the Habs.
On this subject, the Sportsnet insider has indeed revealed a major update.
