Confirmed Trade: [NJD/MTL] Jake Allen (50% retained) for 2025 cond. 2nd/3rd round pick

[Hattrick Kane]

What are the Devils thinking?

 

[Andre Palot]

DECLINE! CANCEL THE TRADE!

 

[Wats]

Guessing late conditional pick, can't be much.

 

[PG Canuck]

That is beyond hilarious

 

[BlueDream]

Bet he’s pumped to join them for their 10th place finish.

I think Allen is still more than fine for a veteran backup role...but what is he going to be asked to do for New Jersey plus you still have to pay him for next year as well...

The Devils are on the hook for $7.25 million between Allen and VV for next year. That's your high-priced net.

Hopefully the Habs retained fully.

 

[Forge]

I'm actually surprised given the extra year

This is what Devils fans get for hoping to not get Gibson lol

Not to mention Hellebuyck.

Imagine going from Gibson, Hellebuyck, Saros, Markstrom, Ullmark... to Allen. The Devils are back to being a Mickey mouse organization.

 

[Zubrus Coffee Maker]

Hopefully the return isn’t too crazy, but they needed to find a way to get daws and Schmid to the AHL

 

[Andre Palot]

That is beyond hilarious

I might still have some leftover bourbon

 

[Puckclektr]

Why JAke Allen? lol

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Seemed to be good working with a young Monty, so maybe just a mentor role in NJ

 

[Extra Texture]

What? Have they not given up on the season?

 

[MMC]

 

[The Great Weal]

What? Have they not given up on the season?

They are trying to improve their tank

 

[WatchfulElm]

Allen, Ryder and a 2nd?

I made this joke yesterday. How dare you steal it from me? It was the most original joke of all time!!!

[Jerzey Devil]

Fi-yer Fi-itz Clap clap clap clap clap.

 

[Rafafouille]

If we don't retain I'd be fine with futures considerations. Just getting out of that contract is a W.

 

[Sharkz4Fun]

Devils fans lol

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Allen for conditional 3rd that can become a 2nd
