Proposal: Allen for Mrazek+

[Michoulicious]

Toronto goaltending situation is a mess. Campbell is injured and they have to rely on unproven AHL goalies right now. They need a reliable #2 in case Campbell gets hurt again before the playoffs. Allen is signed for another year as well for cheap.

Montreal is clearly rebuilding. They are winning a bit too much right now for their own good. They don't expect to be competitive next year, and Price just started practicing with the team.

Montembeault/Hammond is good enough for the rest of the season, but they can send one down without a problem and absorb a bit of salary. Price/Mrazek is alright for next year, since they don't have to pay for any big new contract before 2023 beside maybe Romanov.

The trade:

Toronto gets: Allen (50% retained)

Montreal gets: Mrazek, Hirvonen, 2022 2nd, 2023 3rd

Toronto gets a reliable 2nd goalie for two runs and save 2.4 millions on the cap for this year and the next.

Montreal gets another prospect and picks for the rebuild.

Fair?

No Allen is bad too

 

[FerrisRox]

If I'm the Canadiens, I don't want to give up an asset and take on a liability for so little reward. I would pass.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Tit-for-tat. I don't see the difference even after the trade.

 

[BLNY]

Montreal says no.

 

[DucksUnited]

Toronto will have to give a first for Mrazek to be dealt. A second and a third isn’t worth that salary being taken in as much as Toronto wishes to think someone will

Maybe a second and a third will do. I mean, it's still under $4M and only three years.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Not nearly enough to take on Mrazek

You want 4 million for 3 years against your cap? Go for it. But as you can see no one else here does that’s posted

I mean, if you were to give up a first for Mrazek, I think keeping the contract might be better. It's not as Mrazek's like Ilya Bryzgalov in the past.

 

[Rob Sense]

Mtl...NO!

 

[Prairie Habs]

Not when we also have to max retain on Allen

 

[WinterLion]

I don't think Montreal (or anybody) wants the Mrazek contract... so you might need to first give up a pick to get a team to take it.

 

[Just a Fan]

So the Leafs fix their bad goaltending by trading multiple assets for a bad goalie?

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Not when we also have to max retain on Allen

Right, there was the retention. Ew, now I have to reconsider.

 

[Number 57]

I wouldn't touch that Mrazek contract.

If you want Allen, it starts with an early 2nd.

Allen for early 2nd? Maybe a third, if you're lucky.

 

[Lockin17]

Allen could definitly helps Toronto at this point espacially for the playoff comming up.
People that says otherwise don't know Allen.
Mtl would ask for Toronto 2nd pick 2022 for sure.

Luckily I don’t want Allen….

With his current statistics, I don't know.

 

[The Red Line]

Toronto is bent over a barrel, they'll need to make it really worth it for a team to take on Mrazek. Another brilliant move by Dubas that one was.

The Dubas move.

Don't get fooled by stats, people that range a players by their stats is a bad way to look at it.
Allen is been left alone in front of the net for the first half of the season.
No Goalie would have good stats.

Yes, but I don't see Toronto defense shoring up that loss of defense that Allen experienced in Montreal. Toronto has Muzzin injured.

Fair?

Allen has positive value. Mzarek has negative vale.

A Toronto 1st is the minimum for Montreal to consider this.
