Value of: Jake Allen

[razor ray]

STL found their #1 and its not Allen. 2 years left 4.3 Mill cap hit and a very consistent NHL career...currently 28 years old.

Uhh... “very consistent” wouldn’t be my first choice for a Jake Allen description.

He ass

Calgary will take him.

Calgary will take him.

No retention and no cap dump coming back. We will gladly take a first 2019 or 2020

You appear to be making the most of 4/20 day...

You'd be lucky to be able to dump him for free...

Oh yeah lol. Elliot got a 2nd. Allen has more time on contract. 1st isn't to far off

 

[Frenzy31]

I don’t see a reason to move him. He is a good backup contingency player. JB falters next year..... yeah he is expensive, but we aren’t in cap hell so the devil you know.

Combine that with the fact that he has no value,....

I don't really think the extra year is a selling point on Allen...

I do appreciate the whole used car salesman theme of the whole thread though

Good luck with that. I on the other hand will be trying to convince a supermodel to marry me and we will live on Mars. Wish me luck!

Consistent is a great description for him, consistently bad!

"Value of: Jake Allen"

A career backup goaltender.

Just get a few pointers from bill cosby....

I don't like Allen at all, and even I can't agree to this. Allen has definitely had his moments where he's been an incredible goalie.

I think really, outside of Bob, Allen might be a decent option for teams, especially if Blues retain 1 to 2 million. Calgary would probably love him. Think he and Rittich would be a great duo.

"What do I have to do to put Allen in your teams Jersey today?"

Pffttt calgary will take him? Only if neal is going the other way

Didn’t you see a previous post that said no cap dump? Allen is worth a first round pick apparently.

Elliot got us a second, allen with retention will get a first.

Elliot got us a second, allen with retention will get a first.

What do the Flames pick? 26th? I'd do that trade and let Smith walk. You could even sign Smith to back Binnington up.

Good luck with that. Also you said no retention earlier. We’ll see what happens.

Flames will most likely pick 16-18 since they were one of the first teams eliminated

Calgary is desperate for an above average goalie Jake is that. Sometimes he can be top 5 others he is below average. But he is still leaps and bounds better than smith.

He’s an option for the Flames, but if you expect a first for him I think you’ll be disappointed.
