Rick Springhetti revealed some interesting information, in addition to commenting on the much-discussed second-line center position of the Montreal Canadiens.

Let’s start with that very second-line center spot in Montreal.

Jake Evans will start the season as the Montreal Canadiens’ second-line center replacing Kirby Dach, according to Rick Springhetti

That’s what he actually mentioned during the most recent edition of the “Recrutes Habscast.”

“Rick thinks Evans should center Laine and Demidov to start the season if Dach isn’t ready – I say give Kapanen a look.”

– Grant McCagg

And you, what is your opinion on this?

“Alex Newhook doesn’t have the ideal profile to play center, and the other options aren’t great either.”

Personally, I do believe that Jake Evans would indeed be the “safest” and least risky solution, but I can also understand the desire to see what an Oliver Kapanen could accomplish in such a role.

The best center still available on the NHL free-agent market is indeed Roslovic.
