We have a major development regarding Montreal Canadiens forward Jake Evans. Over the past few days, several highly credible reports have surfaced indicating that a 5-year contract is being requested from the Canadiens organization by Jake Evans’ camp.

To sign a contract extension in Montreal, Evans is reportedly demanding a 5-year deal, but that’s not all.

Jake Evans’ camp is reportedly asking for a 5-year, $20 million contract

In addition to confirming the 5-year term being requested by Evans, Tony has just added a financial figure to the demand.

According to his sources, the request from Jake Evans to the Montreal Canadiens is indeed a 5-year, $20 million contract extension, aimed at avoiding a trade in the coming days.

“What I’m hearing is that Jake Evans’ camp is asking for a 5-year contract at $4 million per season.

It seems like they’re far apart.

What have the Canadiens offered in terms of salary and years?

I don’t know, but it seems like nothing has changed.

It looks like the Evans camp is not optimistic.

It seems that, according to them, he’s as good as gone.

And even so, Jake, if you look at him lately, you can see that he doesn’t look happy.”
