Winnipeg trade doesn't work. They'd want either high picks/prospects or a hockey trade that gives them a similar potential C, but one under contract (and we aren't trading Dach).

We aren't getting a 2nd for Allen. Even accounting for team quality, he's had a bad year. He has the yips giving up early goals as well. His contract extension only solidifies that, even with retention.
Might get another project player with a similar contract if someone desperately needs a goaltender, but not likely.

Some merit to a Bailey dump scenario.

It looks like Primeau is done in Montreal. Even if we have an injury and he gets some starts, there won't be enough of a sample to justify keeping him unless it's accompanied by some stellar, game stealing play in the minors.
Time to move on and give starts to the next potential NHL goaltenders.

Sure I like Allen and if Detroit strucks out in free agency sure but not paying a 2nd and not paying more for retention we don't need.

One year of Bailey doesnt cost that much to dump. A 3rd is all we would do, or we would just buy out
