WTF?

@Based Anime Fan 's been around way longer than you have, buddy.

It doesn't make his opinion any better than yours or mine but i can confidently say you're barking up the wrong tree here with your statement.

Lmfao legitimately who cares how long anyone's been here? Implying the quantity of their posts has anything to do with the quality of their insight is peak terminally online loser talk.

I'd need 82 years to match the quantity of posts you've amassed at my current rate. That's quite a bar to set to earn your respect. Although it looks like I'd only need 21 years of posts to match your reaction score. Maybe that is doable!!

When is the 2025 draft party?

We didn't start having reactions available until quite recently.

More to the point from the admin team: MOVE ON PAST THE PERSONAL ATTACKS AND GET BACK ON TOPIC.

Please.

Sounds a lot like Smith honestly. I'm sure he's a "complete pro" and good influence to the younger guys and a great leader. That's why he's able to step out on the ice where he sucks...right?

Sounds like a personality hire

These kinds of dudes are needed in sports.

I maintain Allen for $1.9 million for next year is not at all bad.

He's nothing special or particularly good, but if he were a UFA this summer it would have almost definitely cost us a little bit more than $1.9 to sign him and we may have have to give him a 2 year deal.

Fitz confirms the plan is for Allen to be the backup next year.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

Hate this deal less knowing the conditions will likely not be met. and that VV is also gone. Allen is a decent back-up, hopefully that's all he is.

 

[MadDevil]

I hope he ends up being the veteran #3 we should have brought in this past off-season. Hopefully one of Saros/Ullmark/Markstrom as the starter and Daws (or Schmid if he figures his shit out) as the backup.

Fitz says the plan is for Allen to be part of the tandem with a "big fish"

Doesn't sound like he wants anything to do with Daws or Schmid on the NHL team next year

He says that now after he just traded for Allen.

 

[Billdo]

Interesting we were on Allen's no trade list and he wouldn't waive it a few months ago.

He has zero issue saying his other goalie he just traded is not being considered for next year at all

We don't specifically know that. The way Fitz answered it was that we were told we were on the NTC. So MTL may not have proposed it to him. I don't see why they would not have, but.

Right, and GMs always tell the complete truth and never change their minds. If Allen is the backup to one of those guys, I'm fine. I'd just rather Daws out play him for the backup role.

Fitz said he tried to trade for Allen a few months ago but Allen had NJ on his NTC, but waived it today.

 

[Andre Palot]

One day this list of tenders will come good.

Even the chicken tenders at the Rock suck now.

Correct. When pressed for detail though he said "we were told we were on his NT list", he dodged the question which specifically asked if Allen was approached to waive earlier in the year.

Fair enough, maybe got a phone call from Marty.
