In no way did I think Kent was getting this return
Jpnator
another “Hoes Madd” moment!
meowpeh
Man, Kent was for sure a car seller in one of his past life. How the hell did he manage to get that kind of return? What a mad lad!
On another note, the 3 goalies rotation is finally over, a bit too late IMO but it’s better now than never.

I knew it was going to be NJ or Avs.
Good shit KH

The retention is absolutely nothing. Edmundson’s retention comes off the books, Alzner’s buyout comes off the books, the cap goes up. Retention spots barely matter when you can just use a 3rd team and trade like a 5-6-7 pick for that.

Ngl that’s way more than I expected

Thank goodness! This is the only trade we absolutely ***needed*** to make, and Hughes got it done. I’m thrilled!

Habs are gonna have 4.2M in dead money next season from the retentions on Petry & Allen.

This a freakin steal!

Shoutout to that dude who posted that “I told you so” rant this morning saying that Allen was untradeable
DMG_Morgoth
I guess it’s their 2025 3rd or 2nd? Guessing since the number of games for the conditional seem to be 40…

But..but…. didn’t someone swore he was untradable 12 hours ago, and said that he “told us so because his daddy was a goalie in the show and knew Allen wasn’t good”?
He sure took that post down fast after seeing this..!

Good luck in NJ, Jake.
And for one last time, fuck all the haters who shit all over you this season and in past seasons with us.

Good luck, Jake.
And thank you for everything.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAA!
All this time spent at “Kent Hughes playing Chess” bull, with the 3 goalie system where none of the goalies got consistent starts….all for a 3rd rounder that might end up a 2nd round pick?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAA!

I’m pumped for Primes to get more games!
snipeftw
Now it’s time for Primeau to get more games and take over that starting position. He was drafted for this role, and Montembault has peaked.

Look, we all know that he’s a goalie that needs at least 2/3 of the starts. This was sub-optimal for him in Montreal. Let’s hope he gets those 40 starts and we get the 2nd round pick.

Can’t believe someone bit on Allen.
No retention?
Hughes, you mad lad.
Edit: Makes sense, 50%.
Thank you for everything jakey.

If there’s no retention that’s a TIDY piece of work.
How Hughes pulled that off while better players are going for 6ths is beyond me. If no retention Hughes is a God.
Great return! Confused but happy.
TradeCentre saying 50% retained?
W trade
edit : Ah salary retained. Was too good to be true.
How many games he gotta play?
Good lad, played hard for us, wish him the best. Look forward to our new tandem.
[Per Chris Johnston:](https://x.com/reporterchris/status/1766172933242683818?s=46&t=w725sVUiyAQ_1383m0H0hQ)
“The Habs are retaining 50% of Jake Allen’s $3.85M cap hit. Significant because that contract runs through the end of next season.”
[Per Eric Engels:](https://x.com/ericengels/status/1766176802437746741?s=46&t=w725sVUiyAQ_1383m0H0hQ)
“Condition on the third to become a second for Allen is based on him playing 40 games.”
