Once you get into the depths of the NHL Draft, the chances of hitting on prospects decrease. The Montreal Canadiens found a gem in Jake Evans as he was taken in the seventh round of the 2014 NHL Draft 207th overall. That year saw Evans dominate the OJHL putting up 16 goals and 47 assists for 63 points in 49 points ahead of his path down the NCAA road.
Evans ended his college career as captain of the University of Notre Dame putting up 41 goals and 97 assists in 158 NCAA games. His team also won back-to-back Big Ten Hockey championships while the Toronto-native was named to the league’s first All-Star Team.
