We are witnessing the most TERRIFYING thing about Montreal's future...

[@Xylo58]

Glad to see Emil getting much deserved love. He’s been quietly developing into a more complete player and a valuable asset for the future. Go Emil!

[@jpecci1262]

He has great positioning -- hockey IQ.

[@davery07]

Hope they don't lose Evans. 3 years at 3.75 mil. He's exactly the type of player the Habs need going forward over the next 3 years. He's proven himself in so many areas and has been so consistent.

Quinn Hughes' first 35 NHL games: 2G 25A 27pts Lane Hutson's first 35 NHL games: 1G 26A 27pts The sky is the limit folks.

Pls mtll keep jake evans sign him

[@kAzinGaming]

No way they let Evans go bro, first danault.. he's GREAT at his role, faceoffs, pks, now goals, goes to get puck, and honestly not the worst playmaker. Sign that man

[@anpc86]

I hope they keep Jake Evans, of all things the Habs need is that type of player, and is a player i would include as part of the foundation for a winning team

[@munsmail]

The way Evans is excelling in his role at this stage of his career reminds me a lot of young Tomas Plekanec, and we all know how Turtleneck came to be. Evans is the kind of player who if he accepts his role in a 3C/4C, is a piece in a winning formula. Danault could've been, and imo still is, best suited in a 3C in a winning formula, but unfortunately for the Habs couldn't accomodate his pay per role minutes and eventually lost him for nothing.

[@XXlovehurt]

Hutson ,in is last 12 game he got 14 points

[@honziq]

3,75M x 4 years for an excellent role player like Evans is actually solid.

[@tetraboom8730]

RE: Heineman , i double checked to be sure but yes Lecavalier was assigned to analyze Heineman before the trade. "Lecavalier a épié le jeu d'Emil Heineman pour donner son feu vert." "J'ai pu donner mon avis sur Emil Heineman" -Lecavalier

[@countchoculitis1528]

Nice channel, glad to find you guys!

[@stephaneferron5317]

What do you mean , it wasn’t part of the plan? Gorton , Hughes and stlouis all said at the beginning of the year that they were expecting a big year from Evans For a team that’s been struggling to find centers for 30 years , how is it even a discussion about signing or not signing Jake Evans . Forget about beck and Hage , speculation of become this or that🤦‍♂ Evans and Armia should be extended

[@iMacduff]

Part of it is salary cap management. If Evans wants 3.5+, do you sign him and lose depth at D or top line forward or do you trade him and use Beck / Hage / someone else at 800k and spend that 3M on a D / top line forward? Those are decisions Hugues / Gorton will need to make depending on the kids’ development and Evans contract negotiations.

[@evancodd6739]

​@iMacduff I'm not so sure they need to worry about 3.5 considering what will be coming off in the next 3 years. Will also answer many questions about some of our prospects by then

[@iMacduff]

@@evancodd6739 again.. just depends on where they want to allocate their cap. There’s also a chance they sign him to 4+ and promote him to 3rd line centre after Dvorak leaves and then have one of the prospects fill his role on the 4th line until they show they can handle a bigger role. Hard to say. Thankfully I’m not the one making decisions. I find this one to be one of the tougher ones. Love the player but unsure how much cap I want to commit to a player with his skillset. If he improved his faceoff ability, I’d probably feel differently.

[@travisdecheno5670]

CANNOT lose Jake Evans....7th round pick who worked his ass off to get here, and still works his ass off every game. A diamond for what he does....

[@oldhab7890]

Why is Evans not the second line centre? Dach is an anchor to the second line and needs to be replaced. Evans is showing he can score. Also not resigning him is idiotic. We have seen prospects not reaching their "potential" so until someone can outplay him he has to be part of the team. Heineman is an interesting case. I think he is benefiting from where he is playing. If he can keep his pace for the whole year, he is a likely 2nd line winger.

[@markorr999]

For Evans, I'd go 3.5 for 6 years. That takes him to 34 and gives us a super PK killer in the years we are going to be needing one that for cup runs. Right on that list for Hutson, you can Nicholas Lidstrom one of the greatest D-men to play the game. GO HABS GO!

[@bobgomez9249]

Yes

[@Nalleteus]

Nicholas😂

[@johnmcguire188]

Yeah, if they trade Evans when he seems to be coming into his own and really starting to shine, they will rue the day they decided to. He has really figured out how to play in this league and is a force every night. No way They should take less that a mid 1st round pick but that won't be the offer because he is on the rise.

[@GeoffEuverman]

New game now. Hughes and Hutson has changed the game. Like Coffey before and Orr before that. Look to the US for a puck mover.

[@mashmarttv]

I think Montréal and msl are a perfect feat for hutson !! 😊😊😊

[@henryzelman33]

Lane Hutson's +/_ is due to being a rookie. He's going to improve with time. I am glad the Habs are giving him the chance to prove himself which he is very much doing.

[@jac335]

I say sign him. He's a really good solid player at a fair price. Beck will fit in too

[@Marc_de_Car]

merci

[@stevenst6337]

Emil so underrated yep, his shot reminds me of Paciorettys lol. And yes even ho Dvo doesn have the numbers, he has still been playing relatively well. Hes getting lots of good chances and has just been solid all around with gally and Anderson. Also 55% on faceoffs for Dvo.

[@iAMakaMaxPower]

Rank Heineman's goal/60 vs league ... it's crazy good.

[@tonylloy327]

I'll maybe regain a bit of faith in Hughes if he re-signs Evans. If he doesn't...or trades him for, oh I dunno, a 4th-rd draft pick or something...it'll just confirm my suspicion that he's got no clue what he's doing.

[@bobolivier3809]

Hutson is great but he is -14, and until he is plus something, Habs defence will lose them a lot more games. Hopefully his defensive skills and those of the team as a whole especially Dach(-24) will get up to par. Emil is amazing as is Laine.... there is hope, and with more goals not playing catch up hockey we should rise in the standings

[@Brubarov]

I haven't been sleeping at all! I've been saying for months Heineman should be on the 2nd line way before Dach and Newhook. There is no good reason for those 2 to always be on the first 2 lines. Ça n'a absolument aucun sens! I hope Hutson defence play will improve, I am confident he will, so he'll get closer to a +/ 0. I hope he won't turn as a 50 points denfeseman with a -40 +/-.

[@Frankdaigle77]

With time, we can see some results! Thats exactly what we wanted!

[@michaelb1303]

Might be fun to watch, but Montreal is not going to win a lot of games if Hutson’s +/- is going to stay about -14.
