The Canadiens are considering a Jake Evans trade, and they should pull the trigger on a move before the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline.

Montreal has lost eight of its last ten games leading up to the 4 Nations break, narrowing their chances of making the playoffs. The Canadiens enter the hiatus with a 25-26-5 record and 55 points, six behind the Detroit Red Wings for the second wild-card berth in the Eastern Conference.

With the NHL Trade Deadline approaching, there’s bound to be more rumours and trade scenarios that could definitely catch the attention of many fans where their favourite NHL team should be inclined to make or pass on.

Jake Evans and the Montreal Canadiens are unexpectedly a playoff contender in 2024-25. Montreal had a rather brutal start to the campaign and seemed rather listless on the ice. In fact, some believed the Canadiens had regressed based on their poor play.
