Yes, need a goalie bad but not a bad goalie..

 

[domiwroze]

Not this again

 

[Gillings]

I like the trade. It solidifies depth on the wing.. and brings in a good netminder.

Both have been injured this year so it’s a bad time to trade for them and give up a 1st

 

[SherVaughn30]

Allen said he doesn't want to be traded and Habs GM has said they are not looking to trade any goalies.

 

[Cenzo_]

Common Fellow Habs fan context matters! Allen has been injured all year and has never really shwon the ability to be a good #1, Armia is a good player but has a terrible year and Oilers may not even make the playoffs and have little cap space so paying a 1st for those 2 would be a horrible move

 

[Ctrain2k]

That package might even have negative value, asking for a 1st is laughable.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I'd say he's at least better than Smith, or Koskinen, but there's like a bunch of goalies who are, so that isn't saying much.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Oilers say no easily

 

[Price is Wright]

Yes, need a goalie bad but not a bad goalie..

You think Jake Allen is bad?

 

[DingDongCharlie]

What a new and refreshing idea.

If you're moving a 1st you have to make sure you get an anchor contract on the bottom 6 forward coming back.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Good trade for both teams. Nicely done.

A Joke right ? A cap dump and a goalie that isn't any better then what we have LOL

 

[McSuper]

He isn't good

 

[Hunter368]

Can’t see Oilers doing that, that’s not a good deal for them and I’m being polite

 

[CycloneSweep]

Holland straight up said tons of times. He isn’t moving a first for a rental

 

[Price is Wright]

He isn't good

Are you stat scanning or do you watch him?

He's a pretty decent goalie. Having a pretty good game tonight against Dallas while Montreal defence loses track of the puck constantly. One of the better goalies at using his stick to make passes. I feel like that could help the Oilers but hey. Keep on Oil'in it up.

There's no rental there.

That said, there's also nothing worth anything near a first.

Yep. Unless we are sending back Smith, Turris and Kassian too

I’ve watched him for years. He is a backup goalie

Now this is funny.

Kosk numbers are better than Allen's

 

[ManofSteel55]

Another week, another Allen to Edmonton post.

The answer is still no thanks.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Yes, need a goalie bad but not a bad goalie..

This proposal is bad but Allen is still better than both Koskinen and Smith combined.

 

[ManofSteel55]

This proposal is bad but Allen is still better than both Koskinen and Smith combined.

Koskinen has outplayed Allen all year aside from a 3 week stretch in January. Smith is done, it isn't a win to be better than him. Allen still makes too much for a backup. I might do a swap with Smith straight across, but I would probably rather not use that cap space.

We know. He isn’t going to do anything except lean on McDrai until they get fed up and ask for a trade, or until he gets fired, whichever comes first.
