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

[Aoko]

So the Devil's are going to have more than $7m tied up in shitty goaltenders next year?

Some Devils fans: "Hey guys we didn't have to give up Holtz, you guys are delusional"

 

[crazyfisherman]

How tf does a guy with 3.65 gaa get a potential 2nd

 

[MaxDummy]

Crazy return wtf

 

[jetsforever]

Remember when people were saying they don't need Hellebuyck or any of the other good rumoured goalies?

 

[Maitz]

Jesus, don't want to disrespect the man but Allen is not an NHL goaltender anymore.

 

[Jee]

I was going to be quite happy with a fourth, let alone a third that can become a second

 

[JurassicTunga]

Fitz. What are you doing.
What a waste this trade is. Why even bother? Allen isn't better than what they have.

 

[neopreneur]

I should have hired Hughes to negotiate my divorce settlement...

NJ's deadline has been the equivalent of taking all their toys off of the shelf and throwing them on the floor.

 

[JustAHabFan]

That is highway robbery. Allen is only worth 4/5th round pick.

 

[td_ice]

Yeah, like most others, I don't get this .

I have a lot of respect for GMTF, but man, can't believe he hasn't properly addressed the G position.

 

[HabsQC]

Only a a pick but highway robbery from Kent Hughes once again

 

[Seb]

I swear if there's no retention Hughes is a freaking genius.

 

[Andre Palot]

How does this help NJ? LOL

It doesn't. Our GM is a bozo.

Let me introduce you to the Habs D…

 

[le_sean]

for the record, Allen was good for us since he joined, but has been absolute garbage this season.

Solid backup for Carey f***ing Price but as a guy teaming up with Akira Schmid? Woof

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

We actually received something for Allen without retention lol good job Hughes

 

[Based Anime Fan]

I wonder what the point of this is, it does nothing for the Devils.

Puts Schmid and Daws back in Utica, with no pressure to be BU next season

[bl02]

Holy cow! Straight up?
They basically traded Toffoli for Allen.

 

[dredeye]

I had put surprised by no retention and see it once I posted lol

Yeah he's been serviceable outside of this year. Surprised he might bring in a second however. It's a weird price for a Devil's team that's not in a playoff position.

 

[admiralcadillac]

Allen is a solid goalie, this year notwithstanding. He played against all of the hardest matchups this year.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Allen has been awful this year and still has another year at 3.85.

Cayden Primeau be likeOle ole ole oleeee!
