Why is Montreal being so generous? They have a 3 headed monster alreadyI’d take Jake Allen for cheap. Samsonov+pick/B prospect

Montreal could live with the 3 goalies until summertime, it's other teams who need to make a change.Why is Montreal being so generous? They have a 3 headed monster already
Teams keep asking about him so I doubt he has negative value. But whatever, we'll gladly keep Allen. He's solid backup, helped develop young goalies and is character guy in dressing room and community. Good future goalie coach.
Go find a better goalie? See what it costs ya?
It's amazing how people's ability to read has really gone down the drain. I never said Allen had negative value now. I said after the year he had - that was last year. He has improved since last year. So to the original comment I merely agreed his value went up from negative to positive and that he would garner a late pick back, but of course salary would be needed to go the other way to balance the cap out.Neg value and a lot of talk on some teams having lots of interest don't fit on the same line.
He has another year left at $3.8m. I see zero reason for the leafs to pick him up for that reason alone. MTL fans are delusional. Jones has played very well, much better than Allen. What do we do when Will is back - carry 3 goalies? Makes no sense. Also next year if we run with Woll and Jones that cap allocation will be less than $2m, which frees us up to spend elsewhere.Jake Allen is seriously becoming the most overrated goalie by the media.
Every time a team struggles, the name Jake Allen gets brought up. It's fine if he's rated as a backup, but the media dubs him as a good starter.
The last time Jake Allen had good numbers was when he was in St. Louis.
He had solid numbers awhile back, now not so much. Has his play dipped or is it more of an issue with the team's play dipping?Reimer is all yours for a bag of pucks

I think the Oilers would love to take a run at Forsberg if we could make the money work. I'm not sure how to do that though, it would need to wait until the deadline if nothing else.Could see a trade involving Forsberg, if the Leafs could swing it. Could probably be had for a 3rd or 4th but also TOR would likely need to move money out to make it work so I could see OTT inquiring about Liljegren or maybe a depth forward with similar value.
Soogard is ready to be a backup and Merilainen/Mandolese need to share the net in Belleville for their development.
Too many old defensemen or folks with low defensive IQ playing for Detroit, currently. Seems like Yzerman is letting the future defensemen fully ripen before handing the reins over to them.He had solid numbers awhile back, now not so much. Has his play dipped or is it more of an issue with the team's play dipping?
So now Hab fans are delusional, the Media is delusional.He has another year left at $3.8m. I see zero reason for the leafs to pick him up for that reason alone. MTL fans are delusional. Jones has played very well, much better than Allen. What do we do when Will is back - carry 3 goalies? Makes no sense. Also next year if we run with Woll and Jones that cap allocation will be less than $2m, which frees us up to spend elsewhere.
Why are Hab fans delusional? Were not pushing Allen to you guys. It was a Leaf fan that started this thread. Maybe you should try reading through the thread before claiming anyone is delusional .He has another year left at $3.8m. I see zero reason for the leafs to pick him up for that reason alone.

You quoted my same comment twice, as if it were two different comments just so you know. Note I am agreeing with another Leaf fan who also is saying the same thing. It makes no sense to trade for Allen. I think it's delusional of Habs fans to expect no salary coming back in the deal for a relatively decent draft pick for a guy who has another year left on his contract at $3.8m. I think my comments have been fair.So now Hab fans are delusional, the Media is delusional.

Where in this thread did you read that Hab fans expect no salary coming back. I saw one Hab fan come up with something stupid.You quoted my same comment twice, as if it were two different comments just so you know.

Why are you reply to me then? Why don't you police your fellow Habs fan. Jones just posted a shutout, so we can put this Leafs need to trade for a goalie nonsense to bed.Where in this thread did you read that Hab fans expect no salary coming back. I saw one Hab fan come up with something stupid.
Why are you always making up BS when it involves the Habs?
I'm replying to you because your the one MAKING UP the BS in this thread .Why are you reply to me then? Why don't you police your fellow Habs fan. Jones just posted a shutout, so we can put this Leafs need to trade for a goalie nonsense to bed.
