Description

Saw another post and thought I'd put my own spin on it.

Both teams being out of the playoffs. MIN are essentially trading for Allen "early" in preparations for next season. So essentially just a 3rd rd pick (could be more or less. we can debate about that) for 1 year of Allen. Habs clear Allen's cap for next year to run with Montembeault (Who signs an extension) and Primeau. Fleury gets a cool 20ish games with the Habs to finish out his career, because how he is currently playing, no contender will trade for him.

Trades

MTL

Fleury, Marc-André
2025 3rd round pick (MIN)

Additional Details:

More or less could be added. I just like the Idea of swapping MAF for Allen.

The whole point of trading away Allen now is to give more games to Monty and Allen. Getting another goalie in exchange doesn't make sense.

This happens at the trade deadline. It would be a very minor issue to “give more games to Monty” when there are only 20ish games left.
The main purpose would be solving goaltending for next season. This trade would accomplish that. It also prevents MTL from retaining on Allen’s cap hit. Which would almost be necessary to move him on his own to get a decent return.

And I’d just find it cool to see MAF in a Habs jersey lol wouldn’t be for long, and there’s no harm in having him now than opposed to a dud contract next season.

Would arguably be a 'story book' ending for the best French Canadian goalie of recent years to finish up in MTL.

It would be pretty cool for fans like us to see a top 5 goaltender ever play and retire in his hometown.

Still, from a team management perspective, MTL needs a Monthy/Primeau duo ASAP!
