Can't believe they did it now.

 

[Wats]

Hopefully we actually get something more than Zucker got

 

[The Great Weal]

Good job Hughes. Don't even care about the return lol the guy is a pure cap dump.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Can't believe they did it now.

Imagine going for Markstrom and now you have to settle for Allen.

If the Habs don't have to retain I'll take a conditional 7th based on the Devils winning the cup this year and next

Any retention?

 

[CDN24]

LOL a 3rd for Allen

Hughes masterclass

well that means the retention slot is used. No way he gets a 3rd w/o it

 

[Joe Lamb]

Can't believe they did it now.

I think the key was the "retention" . Probably didn't want to use it in a goalie deal.

 

[Gravity]

I called the value being a 3rd.

[The Great Weal]

How the f*** did Hughes pull this off?

 

[FerrisRox]

Montreal must be retaining salary if they got a 3rd.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Good move. Having three goalies was too much.

Good luck to Jake!

 

[Hope Of Glory]

I still remember before last season when someone said they wouldn't trade Allen for less than 2x1st lmfao

Any return is a good return so we'll see!

Edit: a 3rd that can become a 2nd?? How?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

It's a conditional 3rd that could become a 2nd.

If that's no retention that's f***ing amazing

 

[Andy]

HOW EVER DID HUGHES GET RID OF SUCH A CATESTROPHIC CONTRACT!?
