Kuemper may have win the cup, but I wouldn't put too much faith in him.
Husso is hit, or miss. Same with Campbell. Gibson put up similar stats to Allen, on a better (little bit better?) team.
Husso might be the best option. Wouldn't cost a lot and signing as a free agent loses no assets.
Husso is also unproven.
Given the assets to either acquire Gibson, or the cost to sign them, I wouldn't be so quick to presume they're better than Allen.
In all reality if your team needs a goalie this is possible the worst year to try and find one.

Yes, but losing every game in the first period kills the competitive fire in the guys.
Losing after a game you had a chance to win is one thing, knowing you're going to lose before the puck is dropped is another.

This is legitimately what I've been thinking for a couple of weeks now, Habs will retain 50% on him to squeeze out as much value as they can too

MOAR SIZE to MTL.
I actually like that trade though, seems like it could work out well for both teams.

Need to move several wingers off the roster already though is the only problem. Habs have Caufield and then an assortment of like 10 different middle six guys

I could see Allen going to the Oilers, but Puljujärvi only works if Montreal moves out at least one winger, if not more. Habs are in a weird situation with a surplus of forwards and a fairly tight cap, until Byron/Drouin/Dadonov are gone, flexibility is limited in terms of taking on "projects" like Puljujärvi

That's what prioritization is but a list is not necessitated by that.Obviously, that's what lists mean

No he is more of a 1B but the leafs have literally 0 nhl goalies atm so I think they need both.

When I first saw this, I thought for sure it'd be the Devils. Marty has a great relationship with him from their time together in St. Louis.
It appears to be moot now that we've acquired Vanecek.

Please be New Jersey. If New Jersey gets him, they're out of goalie space and off the market. Leaves Edmonton, Washington and Toronto as the major players looking, with Campbell, Samsonov and Kuemper all likely available.
Makes sense for it to be Washington though. Run him as backup in case Samsonov falters. There's still potential in Samsonov.

Depends on if they really want to finish near the bottom again. What speaks to last overall more than running Montembault as your #1.

No. Even with Vanecek, they might be in the goalie market. Its been rumored for weeks that they're done with Blackwood, and Bernier didn't finish off the year healthy, so I don't know if he will be playing or LTIR. Am I missing someone in their system?

If Jersey is done with Blackwood I think MTL would have a bit of interest in a Blackwood-Allen swap

It was a joke, someone on here tried to rip me a new one because I had a list of general items and it wasn’t by importance

Jake Allen is absolutely a 1B goaltender. A contender could get him at 50% for $1.43M if they are willing to ante up.
