The journalist from TVA Sports, Renaud Lavoie, has just announced a major scoop involving Montreal Canadiens forward Jake Evans.
This effectively settles the possibility of a trade for Evans, and we can now fortunately forget that option.
«According to Renaud Lavoie, it's apparently just a matter of time (and money) before the Canadiens re-sign Jake Evans to a contract extension.»

So, don't expect a trade for Evans.
An upcoming contract between Jake Evans and the Montreal Canadiens
We now eagerly await the financial details.
Considering the many comparisons between Jake Evans and Phillip Danault, is this a clue?
It's hard to imagine Kent Hughes signing Jake Evans for $5.5 million per year for multiple seasons, but that's what Danault signed for a few years ago.
In your opinion, what would be the ideal amount? Personally, for anything under $4 million per year, I'd sign immediately.
The journalist even mentioned that he expects a long-term contract for Evans.
I don't know when, I don't know the date, specified Lavoie, but there's a contract coming to ensure Jake stays with the organization.
It won't be like Phillip Danault's $5.5 million per year contract..
That said, overpaying Evans by $1.5 million wouldn't be dramatic in the eyes of the insider.
The salary cap will continue to rise, he reminded. There are still people saying that in two years, it will reach $100 million. Over three years, if you give $1.5 million extra to Evans, no one will complain.
