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>exo2769</b></div><div>The single biggest take away i get from this is....and I can't make this more clear... THIS IS THE 2020 GOALIE MARKET. A .927 SV% 2.15 GAA got a 3rd round pick. ALL this 1st rounder nonsense is crazy. Doesn't mean a GM can't get fleeced....JR.... But MTL also has the cap space too. Just think about all the teams that don't have the cap space.</div></div>

My takeaway would be that you can't use stats from a single season to judge player value. Allen had a great season. He has some good overall numbers, but he is a 1B - he loses his starting job no matter how many times it is given to him. For a 1B at 4.35m, even if he is great in that role, MTL paid pretty accurate value.
