YES!!!!!

On top of that, it starts next year so he can join Laval on a PTO/ATO.

 

[Draft]

Right on. Happy the deal got done.

 

[NobleSix]

Nice. Glad this got done sooner rather than later into the summer.

 

[David Suzuki]

Bergevin gonna strut in to the press conference

in all seriousness tho this is good

 

[Habs100]

[Zorba]

He’s our first line C next year. Bergevin will tell us so shortly

 

[Curtoph]

Good news!

 

[Vachon23]

he need to prove that he is NHLer before

 

[NotProkofievian]

Good.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

So he will talk about this for 20 minutes to try and kill time
Glad it's done though in all seriousness

 

[Sterling Archer]

Happy to see him not leave the Canadiens. Hope he can add some weight in the off season and have a productive year in Laval.

 

[HabsTown]

Great, really happy it's done. Should learn a lot from his mentor, Mr John Tavares (ok ok, just kidding)

 

[Andrei79]

Wish the approach they took with this kid was how they managed the rest of the organisation.

 

[bryan1966]

Glad this is done, not a savior for next year but a good center piece to add to young prospects!

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Glad it’s done, you always have a concern with NCAA players that they might decided to opt out and test the market.

But if Bergevin tries to use this as a key piece in his PC today, I’m gonna rage out.

Evans has had a great season, but realistically if he’s anything more than a Tyler Bozak I’d be blown away. Tyler Bozak’s of the world don’t address the top 6.

If he has the kind of career Bozak has I'd be ecstatic.

 

[The Great Weal]

Awesome

 

[Redux91]

Lets see what he can do

its weird it feels like the first time in 5 years we dont have to go "do you think theyll try him at center?"

jesus thinking about it, it really is unacceptable we've had to say that for so damn long.... just not right

 

[justafan22]

Hopefully he never plays a game under Sly.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Real happy about him staying in the organization. I've seen a ton of him in the past 4 years so I'm glad I'll get to see first hand what he can do at the next level.

 

[montreal]

Congrats to him. Figured it would happen as it just makes sense, we stink and have no center depth, he's great on face-offs as he was ranked in the top 2 or 3 every year so you figure a natural center prospect would want to sign where there is little center depth. Now the question will be how will his game translate to the AHL/NHL.

 

[muzion]

going to be a good player for Laval along with Verbeek
