Jake Evans and the CH would not have spoken for several weeks

« Montreal took the phone on Sunday after the two sides had not spoken for several weeks. It all comes from the player who wanted to stay. » – Pierre LeBrun

Wow! Several weeks without saying a single word? We understand why it didn’t seem to be progressing.

With LeBrun’s statement, we also understand why Evans had the impression that it was going nowhere.

He seemed to have resigned himself to the idea that he would leave with several weeks without any discussion.

Especially when considering that there was a lot of interest in the right-handed center across the NHL before the trade deadline.

Obviously, a profile like Jake Evans, especially as a rental player, attracts many teams, but it seems that the CH was even more interested in keeping his services.

In short, a good case settled.

Now that Jake Evans is staying in Montreal, will Kent Hughes want to trade one or more veterans from his formation, or will he want to make a push for the playoffs?

In a hurry

– We found the little boy who received Cole Caufield’s stick in Thursday’s game.

– Very interesting.

– Now the skates need to follow the talk.

– Vitek Vanecek could very well change addresses soon.
