Throw value out the window
I just don't think Dubas is at all prepared to part with any of the big 4

If its for a solid defenceman that can help the team right away it could happen especially a right shot defenceman. Plus its a win for both teams st louis needs more scoring and toronto needs defence

I like Allen but don't think the Caps want to eat up most of the Cap savings they will get with Braden leaving with replacing another goalie. They do need to change up the D, add a forward etc...I think they can find another goalie for cheaper.

Yeah im sure they could just thought they would take allen as a back up goalie to samsonov who still hasnt proven himself yet

I agree.
But that's me.
Dubas seems stubborn on this issue

Its because of that one quote he had of saying he would keep them together. Wants people to think he sticks by it

I've heard him say it time and again though.
Here's hoping he's full of it because I'd love a top notch defender back

Make it 2 5ths and Habs accept cap dump and the 1st.
Bozak only has a year left, so could be a buyout for Habs.

Which is why Dubas' teams can't win in the playoffs. Which is why he's an amateur occupying a grown man's job. Which is why after next year's annual playoff flop, both Dubas and Shanahan are changing windshields for Safelite Auto Glass. The Leafs are way too top heavy and Dubas refuses to admit it, so he keeps doubling down on a team that gets beat with playoff depth.
