2020 Montreal Canadiens Top 25 Under 25: #10 Jake Evans

It’s not often that the final selection made in an NHL Draft becomes the best one a team makes, but in the case of the 2014 Canadiens draft class, that looks to be the case. The team looked like they found a steal in Nikita Scherbak in round one, then whiffed on their picks in the rounds following, infamously trading up for Brett Lernout and passing on Brayden Point in the third round. The team used their last pick — 207th overall — to draft an unknown kid from the St. Michael’s Buzzers in the OJHL by the name of Jake Evans.
