Thread: (STL/MTL) - Allen and 2022 7th RD pick for 2020 3rd RD pick and 2020 7th RD pick

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>Why can't you? Not like Montreal has a cap problem.</div></div>

No, but this is how cap problems start. Making idiotic moves like this and tying up 15 million in your goaltending. This makes no sense for MTL to do when they have Cayden Primeau that can be a very useful backup and on his ELC. Then you can use your actual cap space to sign some FA's this summer to good deals with the flat cap, when other teams will be strapped to get out from under some contracts and wont have space to sign people.

Big win by St Louis! They acquire cap space in moving Allen, who could be a shared starter on any team and they were able to get a 3rd round pick in a good draft this season and a 7th this year as well instead of a 7th in 2022.

The only good thing for MTL is that Allen is a UFA after the 20-21 season and it's low risk that way. However, this would have been a great opportunity to leverage the market this offseason with the space they had available in getting a great asset for a cap dump OR by offering some UFAs what they may have gotten in a normal year since they HAD the space to do it. Now they have 4.35 milllion less to do that and will continue to be part of the mediocrity of the league.
