Description

Allen and Steen will most likely be traded together if this dump is gonna work. Detroit fits as a goalie needy team who would be interested in a one year holdover/tryout who has good rapport with Armstrong (he loves going back to the well and that Fabbri trade worked well, also shows Stevey Y is willing to experiment with fallen prospects a bit) who has cap space, would definitely want a first, and would agree to buy Steen out
Gunnarsson is a goo player but gets paid too much to sit on the bench, the Devils have cap and a glut of picks, a middle pick for minimal cap hit to improve their D is nothing to them
If Pietro returns (please God), this is likely what it looks like

Not a big fan of the condition on the 1st. It's a big contract to take on in Steen, and I would be shocked if we bought him out, as that keeps him on the cap for longer. If you're willing to defer to 2022 lets just call it an unprotected 2022 1st.

Give up the number 4 goalie in terms of sv%, and 2nd in GAA, plus a first just to be able to buy steens contract out? Why wouldnt the blues just buy out Steen then? That and Gunnerson is a solid defensemen for his price tag so it makes no sense giving him up.

Detroit needs a goalie and Steen only costs 3.5M in real money....that should be good enough for a trade....I mean, its better for the Jets if STL doesn't have a 1st roudner...lol...but I think taking it out is a fair trade

Allen isn't really as good as those numbers though. Hes an average goalie. Its just like that carter hutton season a few years ago. I think their is definitely a deal to be made with st Louis and allen makes alot of sense being part of it.

Wouldn’t sign Petro for that deal. I’d also rather trade Bozak for a return and keep Steen and the first.
