Zamboni Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 I would hate that deal. Mainly because I’m extremely allergic to paying goaltenders a stupid level amount of money. And Price is for sure at a stupid level… For years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my preference. ?♂️ if Montreal was going to retain 25%-35% at least… Then I would consider it. For a while. A long while.

Since it doesn't make sense for Moe-ray-all to have $14MM tied up between the pipes figure 1 of the 2 will be shipped out. Since the trade was made while the playoffs are ongoing, figure they have to already have a trade partner lined up and that it's one of the 23 that weren't playing this round. Why not have it be the Sabres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Domi/Allen to the Sabres for Hutton and a defenceman as the bones might make some sense for both sides, depending on what names filled in the cracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E5 LMFAO, oh ya Price is going to waive his no trade to come to this great contender. Lots of goalies in play this off season. Impossible to speculate on an actual landing spot if in fact Price is moved. If Colorado doesn't keep going wouldn't surprise me if history repeated.

bob_sauve28 Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said he was willing to spend to get a backup goaltender, one of the top priorities on his off-season to-do list. Turns out, it didn’t cost much to acquire Jake Allen, who can capably spell Carey Price to ensure Montreal’s $10 million man gets the proper res. Just a third-round pick – the one acquired from Washington for Ilya Kovalchuk, essentially found money anyway with his January signing – and some of the Canadiens’ ample cap space. It was a win-win-win for Bergevin. Allen may just be the best backup in the NHL next season, in what figures to be an uncertain year with a condensed schedule chock full of back-to-back grinds and more slates of three games across four nights. He finished fourth in the league in save percentage this season among netminders with a minimum of 20 appearances. Yes, the Habs might be spending $4 million more on goaltending than any other team next season, but Allen’s expensive deal has just one year on it and expires before Montreal runs into any sort of cap crunch. Plus, the Blues moving Allen and his $4.35 million salary cap hit just happened to increase the cap space and chances St. Louis could afford to re-sign captain Alex Pietrangelo, which lessens the chance a Canadiens’ division rival like Toronto might be able to take a run at him in free agency. “We’d love to get Alex signed,” Blues GM Doug Armstrong said Wednesday. “At the end of the day, it’s a math equation.” So too is the NHL’s annual game of goaltending musical chairs. Allen became the first goalie domino to fall in an off-season unlike any other for the position. It’s going to be a wild ride. “I understand the business side of it very well and I knew coming into this off-season after being eliminated that there was a chance I was going to be traded,” Allen said. “I didn’t really have an idea where or when, that kind of came out of the blue for me. I definitely knew that I was potentially going to be dealt.” The Canadiens and Blues are a rarity in NHL circles. With Price and Allen in Montreal, and Jordan Binnington and Ville Husso in St. Louis, they are two teams who have now firmed up their tandem. https://www.tsn.ca/jake-allen-trade-hits-play-on-nhl-s-goalie-musical-chairs-1.1518384 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
