The Montreal Canadiens are considering trading Jake Evans, but his value may not match that of defensemen David Savard and Mike Matheson. Teams looking to strengthen their bottom six could find Evans appealing due to his playoff experience and favorable cap hit.

While Evans might fetch a mid-round pick, Savard's past trade value was much higher. The Canadiens are weighing their options carefully, as they know the potential impact of trading either of their defensemen.
