Proposal: MTL & CHI

[Ronald Bourgogne]

Jake Allen ($2.9M) and Paul Byron ($3.4M) for M-A Fleury ($7M) and 2023 2nd draft pick.

Allen is the better goalie, with a good contract, but I think Fleury could help turn things around. He could also be signed for less next year as the back-up.

I don't see Chicago wanting to extend the cap hit into next season for both Byron and Allen. By the time the contract extensions for Jones and Murphy kick in MAF will be off the books. Allen doesn't improve Chicago, they give up a pick and they spend an additional $6.5 million in actual dollars.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

I don't see why Chicago would even entertain this offer.

Fleury comes off the books after this season.
At best the Hawks turn things around and make a playoff push with Fleury/Lankinen as 1a/1b.
At worst Fleury will be a deadline rental for a contender and the Hawks will pick up a later round pick for free.

Ah yes, $18m on a goalie tandem... What could possibly go wrong?

Why not just keep the better goalie on the better contract then? This comment makes absolutely no sense considering you proposition.

Not sure why Chicago is giving the 2nd, if anything it should be coming from the habs IMO.

Because we won't make the playoffs with Allen for sure, even if Price returns. Fleury is a gamble but he might give us a chance.

Since When??

Can’t see the Hawks doing this

Didn't MAF win the Vezina last year?

 

[beowulf]

Allen is better than the guy that won the Vezina last season...really? Come on.

and yet fleury is the one who can help turn things around for montreal

makes no sense

Montreal reject this trade.

 

[Flyer lurker]

Byron is DOA. Anything you get from him is a gift.
So you are making Allen a 6.3 goalie for 2 years or MAF 7 million for 1.

You have the 2 going in the wrong direction.

Imagine giving away a 2nd for no reason...in a draft where you don't even have a 1st...when you're rebuilding

Habs definitely do it. If Fleury turns it around, Habs flip him for another 2nd at deadline

Sorry guy, this makes no sense to me. If Allen is the better goalie (which i dont think he is) and we have a goalie issue, we should keep allen. Not to mention that spending 17M on a goalie tandem of #1s is insane. If Price were to leave, you bet id love to see Fleury in mtl, but this is a hard pass.

Might want to do some research before you post. It says a 2nd in 2023 and Chicago does indeed have a 1st in 2023. It's next year, 2022, that they don't have a first. This only changes, the years switched, if Chicago wins one of the draft lotteries.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Fleury hasn't been good here so far, but he has gotten zero help.

If the recent Vezina winner looks like a backup behind the Hawks, I can only imagine what Jake Allen would look like. ECHLer possibly?

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Allen is not a better goalie than MAF. That’s ridiculous.

Montreal isn’t trading for a high cap hit goalie.
