It’s a little early for this nonsense but why would Montreal let him go. Price is done and who knows what Primeau will turn into.

What happened to Kevin Allen? Hope he is Allright. I enjoyed his articles and perspective, felt he balanced out the buzzcast.

Lol. All record of him has been stricken from HB. Can only assume he came to his senses.

how many goalies in the history of the game have signed a 2 year extension and then be traded a few months later?

Did you forget Allen signed an extension?

He won't be in play at the deadline unless the Habs receive a ridiculous offer.

In all seriousness though...why would any contender with a goaltending injury or a goaltender underperforming, find Jake Allen appealing? So you fit him in the cap at the trade deadline, but now he's on your books for the following 2 seasons at $3,850,000 per year. Who has the cap space or desire for that? And Montreal has no space to take a worse contract back. Just run through some potential teams...

Toronto...so next year they have Murray, Allen, and RFA Samsonov. Never work.
Florida...clearly committed to Bob and Knight. So just add another $3.85M goalie?
Boston...same thing. Carry Ullmark, Swayman, and now Allen next year?

I could go on. I feel like this article was conceived with the premise that Allen was still a pending UFA rental and you forgot he signed an extension. Otherwise, why not suggest some other UFAs in 2026. Like maybe Ville Husso, or Anton Forsberg. Good options all around.

If the Habs can acquire a first round pick for Allen, they would have to entertain the idea. Two firsts in 22. Two more in 23. Another two firsts in 24?? Habs pipeline is already looking better than it has in decades. Suzuki is 23. Caufield 21, Dach 21 also. Guhle, Harris and Xhekaj all 22 or younger. This is a serious rebuild and so far it's been impressive.

Wooooo another huge dub, still missing a slew of veterans too. The kids can hang. Leafs choke to a bottom feeder Habs comeback and upset one of the best teams in the league, all is well in the world.

Yea, look what Gorton did to Rags. He built a entertaining offensive powerhouse, that scores a half-dozen more often than not.

Why not? Sorokin is the #1, trade for a back up or promote Skarek.
