call me crazy but my gut is telling me, Evans jumps into that 3rd C spot. This is my reasoning. It is or it should be clear by now that Suzuki is your #1 C, by next season KK should be your #2. As of right now there is only 3% difference in face offs between Evans and Danault. Danault was 1st line C for 3 seasons and the most he got you was 13 goals. So I believe Evans can get you 13 goals as well, yet he will cost you millions per season less than Danault will.
Then I spent a week doing research on Evans, his seasons in Laval, his 4 years at Notre Dame, his time in the OJHL and every single coach he had raved about him and said he only gets better. So, my conclusion is Danault gets moved for draft picks in 2022, Evans moves up to #3 and either Poehling or another cheaper salary jumps in at #4.
