Habs sign Jake Evans to four-year, $11.4 million extension

Usually when you have to pay your top guys a bunch of money you end up having to settle for really shitty 3rd and 4th line guys... Nice to lock up a good 3rd liner at a good price.
 
If we were going to go out and look for another Jake we may as well have done the deal. Whatever we would have gotten for Evans, it eventually probably would have turned out to be apples for oranges at best, and 3-4 years down the road.

Only thing is, I thought Beck was his replacement. #3 and #4 centres I suppose.
I think they've realized Beck needs more time. A lot more. Remember it took Evans a long time to get there too.
