Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 This is absolutely fine, clears up the goaltending spot, a decent return. Using up the last retention spot means they are likely done with any big trades, Savard is almost certainly not going anywhere. I wish Jake Allen the best, a class act. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I'm surprised that we could actually move him, good job Kent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Im glad they chose Primeau as the backup over Allen. He may be moved later but for now bet on the youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had almost zero chance to move him without retention or taking back a bad contract. I think Hughes did the best he could and it was a good decision.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Good deal. Here's to Jake Allen for his admirable service to the CH. He provided much-needed support to Carey Price in his twilight years. A classy, worthy Montreal Canadien. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzer Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Agreed with the other comments regarding Jake Allen. A consummate pro, and I have nothing bad to say about his time with the team. I will admit to being a bit bummed that he moved on, for moderately selfish reasons. Jake is good friends with one of my son's current hockey coaches. I was looking forward to my son potentially having the opportunity to meet an active player on his favorite team in a few weeks, and of course bonus points for a youth goalie to get to meet an active NHL goalie!

Prime Minister Koivu Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I’m happy that it’s finally done and I bet Primeau is happy too 🎉 Allen only has to play 40 games to turn that third into a second. I feel that is an achievable marker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 And let's hope Allen stays healthy, plays well for the Devils and is able to play 40 games so that pick in 2025 is a 2nd. Having 3 x 2nds in 2025 is good draft capital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habscout Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Good to see Montreal traded Allen for anything at all. I've never been a fan of his, and his time was overdue to leave. Now Montreal will get more opportunities to see what they have in Primeau as their backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huzer Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Pending no other moves, and excluding the unlikely conditions, this makes the Habs deadline: OUT: Monahan Allen Mysak IN: 1st round pick WPG 2024 3rd round pick NJD 2025 Perreault Net Salary difference for 24/25 -1,925,00, although another retention slot used. That's the first retention slot used on a player contract originated by Hughes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Didn't use a retention slot for Petry? on that 3-way deal? this is a very god return for Hughes. I am happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy They did but that was before the season. The summary was covering the trade deadline period. An additional condition on the draft pick upgrade - it's 40 regular season games next year and Allen's team at the end of next season (NJ or otherwise) has to make the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-M-O Primeau needs to get at least 8 games the rest of the way for Hughes to know whether they need to find a backup this summer or can plan on Cayden as the backup. Happy for Allen that he gets to play more regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 For what is worth; Last year 26 goalies played 40 games Year before, 31 goalies played 40 games. Glad to see Allen get traded and all 3 now can play more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
