-Allen hasn't been much better than Petersen at this point in the season, and LA doesn't have any impetus to clear the cap at this point. I don't see the difference between these two guys being worth a 1st rounder, especially when there are other goalies that will be pending UFAs that LA could target if Petersen doesn't get his head straight in the AHL.
-Dallas passes. First off, even if they send back Khudobin they still don't have the cap space for it (currently $1.1M + Khudobin's $2.2M = not enough to cover Dvorak's $4.45M), second off, Dvorak isn't a major upgrade over either their current 2C(Radek Faksa) or 3C(Wyatt Johnston.) They're currently the 2nd best scoring team per game, and they're in the top 10 of goals against per game. I think any moves they make are going to be for pending UFAs that shore up their margins, not guys with term.
-My usual question for Montreal fans applies: Who does Josh Anderson replace in the Devils' top-6 when everyone is healthy? I assume a team isn't going to give up a 1st rounder for a 3rd or 4th liner, so Anderson has to be good enough to knock someone out of their current top 6, right? So who is it?
-This is more realistic in value than a lot of Monahan/Eddy proposals. Edmonton clears out some contracts that aren't working and get some upgrades. With all the retention and the savings for Edmonton, plus the idea that Monahan actually would fit on their top 6, I can see the value here. I don't know if Edmonton bites, but this actually makes some sense for everyone involved.
