No interest unless you want a slightly used Karl Alzner in return

No interest unless you want a slightly used Karl Alzner in return

And still not interested.

 

[Steeler23]

I've heard that it's a pretty good idea to trade for a backup who's making 4.3M for 2 years. Especially when your starter make 10.5

 

[Gainesvillain]

Montréal has one too many goaltenders as it is.

 

[sansabri]

no need

 

[beowulf]

Makes absolutely no sense for the Habs unless the Blues are retaining the max in salary and even then still no.

 

[Just Linda]

Habs already have a goaltending backlog. Like the previous posters gave said, only if alzner is the return

 

[simon IC]

OP why did you target Montreal, of all teams?

 

[HabsQC]

If it were me Id take him in a heartbeat but Id be scared that people would call me out for purposely wanting to tank.

i laugh if Kinkaid gets taken up by NJ

 

[Lockin17]

Let's wait and see if Primeau is ready yet.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Not even sure I'm interested if he comes with 50% retention. Blues have a very good D and not so sure how good he is. 50% retention would be $2.175M cap hit for two years. No thank you on that back-up salary.

If I try real hard to find a deal I would consider... Kinkaid, Weise, Reilly and a 4th for Allen (50% retention) is the best I can come up with to offset the cap hits for this year and next.

I don't see a fit here for either team.

 

[domiwroze]

Kinkaid + Alzner + Rielly + Weise VS Allen @50%

ok.

 

[Hockey Stick]

Price for Allen? Let's rebuild baby

 

[DatDude44]

I feel like NJ or CGY would be more logical destinations for Jake. Still don’t see us moving him until the deadline at the earliest, but more likely in the summer

 

[BudBundy]

O P: sees a drowning man.

*tosses an anvil at him*

That oughta do it.

 

[Tryblot]

Allen can't handle pressure. I don't want to imagine what Habs fans would do to him.

 

[Ranksu]

I thought Montreal need decent Back-up goaltender and I thought they have cap space for it.

My thoughts were wrong I guess. @EastonBlues22 can lock this.

 

[Bogey64]

He is being overpaid for a backup but he is one of the better backups in the league.

I think we (Blues) definitely keep Allen. He is playing very well in a backup roll and from what I hear, he is great in the room.

At this point, he is improving his stock to where in the offseason or next year, we may get some value out of him if we decide to trade. Better than a cap dump I'd say

I hope so.
