According to NHL insider David Pagnotta, the Montreal Canadiens may have a tough decision to make regarding forward Jake Evans, whose value continues to increase.
Evans is in the final year of a three-year, $5.1 million contract that carries an annual cap hit of $1.7 million. The center has seen his production increase significantly this season, scoring 23 points through 10 goals and 13 assists from 37 games. Five of those goals have come in the last six contests.
He only recorded seven goals and 21 assists in 82 games last season. With the trade deadline approaching, Pagnotta noted on "The Fourth Period" that Evans is among the Habs players drawing trade interest.
