To be fair, the Habs have been playing like an AHL team in front of him this year. Allen is a very good goaltender, not a top 15 starter anymore, but solid enough nonetheless.
Proposal: Colorado Montreal
- Thread starter Goldenhands
- Start date

Habs are not getting a 1st for any combo of Drouin and Allen. That's crazy talk.
This isn't even just one 1st.
Olausson was just drafted in the 1st round less than 6 months ago and currently leads his Barrie team in Goals and Points after having a pretty damn good camp with the Avs as well.
This is two first round picks for two players who aren't even worth a single first round pick combined let alone two.

Why not Drouin + Price (50%) for Byram, Newhook and 1st?Avs would probably include Girard for cap, and could take back Kulak for contract purposes.
Would give the Avs a good goalie and everybody knows Drouin has chemistry with Mack. Girard, though he has a high cap which lowers his value, is a french-canadien. Win-win.
Lately I've been wondering why AV's fans are so pissed at people underrating their players, reading posts like this I understand why.
This is absolutely awful for the AV's, like one of the worst proposals I have ever seen on HF bad.
Are you actually an Av's fan? WOW

Price would basically guarantee a couple of cups (and Conn Smythes) and Drouin with his exceptional chemistry with Mack means the Avs can use both Landeskog and Rantanen on the 2nd line. Instant best fwd depth in the league. Getting Price at that bargain and unloading one of the worst contracts in the league in Girard means that deal is a steal for the Aves. Rivals the Roy-trade.
The proposal is just missing a 2nd round pick to be consistent with the Halak + Ryder + 2nd meme

Caufield is lit
Pretty sure Price with 50% retain wouldn't even get us future considerations from Colorado, let alone Drouin and Allen for a 1st.

I don’t think they can afford him unless the Avs retain 50%, but that would probably mean the Habs have to include Poehling which I just don’t see them doing.

The only player in the whole Habs organization worth 2 firsts is Nick Suzuki. Cole Caufield probably too but there's probably some GMs who wouldn't pay that price, aka not as high on him

Goaltending is nowhere near the issue and if we are going for a top 6 winger I’d prefer one that puts points on the board

Stop it. They were two great players playing together. There was no otherworldly chemistry there, they were just two guys way above everyone else when it came to skill level.
It has to be. I think calling Girard one of the worst contracts in the league gave it away if not the other stuff before that. Has to be a joke. Maybe a poke at Habs fans or something.
lol i think you missed the "not a" that precedes that. Serious though, nothing to complain about with Allen. 2 of our 3 wins are because he had shutouts; he is solid, but even knights' armor only gets you so far when you are facing machine guns

As a Habs fan trying to be fair, Allen never was a top 15 goalie and never will be. However he is a great backup and he is very good as long as you don't overplay him. His performance is pretty much inversely correlated to the number of games he plays. Before Binnington took over in STL, he was playing way too much but the year after that as a backup he displayed a 92.7% save, last year he was great as long as Price was not injured and really bad when he had to play 3 games a week.
I think if the Habs were to trde him to COL, it should be without a discount but what is a good return for a backup goalie ? I don't have comps so I really don't know.
