Still too much of a question mark to trust him with the backup job next year with a 35-36 year old Markstrom.
That could change by season’s end.

I wouldn’t worry about that. I don’t think it means he’s penciled in for next year. I think it was the hope, but not a given.
I don’t think it means he’s got the job. We’ve given some one way deals to borderline guys who found their way in the minors after camp.
He’ll either have to show more this year or he’ll be playing in Utica for a million dollars a year or whatever his contract is. Or possibly somewhere else on waivers, which I wouldn’t bet on him being claimed, but I wouldn’t completely rule it out either.
He's waiver-eligible anyway and he has a slightly above minimum salary. He's played 46 games in the NHL. It absolutely makes sense.

Even after couple awesome wins vs. Caps/Canes/2xPanthers team is still hanging in the standings by a thread.
Personally did not believe in the wins, but it's nice to be proven wrong. I feel like I have been right with Allen being a starter tier goalie though. Another solid one from him and you can't ask for more than 2 vet goalies working well together and hopefully staying somewhat healthy.
