L'attenzione ai dettagli in questo video è sorprendente. Dalla scenografia ai costumi, tutto è perfetto.💋
Not a bad move for the cost
Why trade Toffoli and acquire a goalie after? I don't get it
Mathew Knies has been Loaned to the Marlies. He doesn't have to clear waivers so The Leafs are about to do a big trade.
Plz rip fitzy a new one for his clueless offseason, This is fitzy panicking. 892% wow so much better than vitek at 890. Either way Markstrom,Ullmark or Saros is a Dev at the draft.
Devils season is headed one of two ways:
1: Don’t make the playoffs; too little, too late (far more likely)
2: Miraculous run to the playoffs and carry that momentum in with them into a possible deep run.
I would find it funny if yet ANOTHER unlikely team ends up in the SCF or something crazy like that.
I was going through Allen's stats and totally forgot that Allen and Brodeur shared the crease in STL for like a week in 2014-15
I am perfectly happy with this as a devils fan
Bros, the Weakest Link came back in 2020 hosted by Jane Lynch. And she still says the line.
I get this trade if it’s a trial for Jake. Maybe they use the remaining 19 games to see if Jake fits, if not, take another run at Markstrom in the off-season
This is who they got… And after they traded Toffoli?
Okay good luck with that
LESS THAN JAKE OMG LOLOLOL
Funny how most Habs fans are quite happy with this one. He’s had his worst season on record. Nobody was expecting any interest in him. There were circumstances, but look at the stats and compare to the other goalies in MTL.
You literally don't get into REM sleep immediately lmao that's ridiculous
If the devils play him a lot it’s a 2nd, now the habs don’t need to keep three goalies, and the habs 2 retention spots other than the allen one free up in the off season.
I wish Allen all the best in NJ. But it was long overdue to see him go. Happy for the return and the deal.
What makes it fine is that the conditions could make it a 2nd round pick. Which is not so bad for a goalie that realistically is not part of the plan in MTL
I’m a die hard habs fan. At no point did I think we would get a “kings ransom” for Allen 😂 very pleased with the return when we were desperate to move a goalie
Being a habs fan I think hughes did a good job and if the devils don't end up getting a better goalie in the off season it will end up being a 2nd. Considering the low ball offer of a 6th round pick the leafs offered for a decent goalie who is having a rough season but could turn it around on a better team hughes deserves a thumbs up for holding his ground and getting at worst a 3rd. Now the ridiculous three goalie tandem saga is over and montreals goalies can give more games to their future goalies and move on from Allen. I say it was a great trade for both teams.
This couldn’t be more wrong😂 Jake Allen has been horri-awful for 2 years now… and we expected a ‘kings ransom’. I call this ‘Toronto Media’
Well Vitek is gone now too lol. Kakkonen came the other way.
Jake Allen has been complete ass this season. The Habs are lucky to move him at all. They urgently needed to move one of their goalies, so regardless the return, it’s good news for them to be back to having 2 goalies again. This deal makes very little sense for New Jersey, but it’s good for Montreal
"I think the team who should be disapointed with this deal, obviously, is the Montreal Canadiens."
Excuse me ? I would've been happy with a 5th rounder. Nothing against Allen, he's been a great mentor for Montembeault in Montreal, and this season has been rough for him, in good part because of the "menage à trois". But I think I can speak for the entire fanbase when I say: getting a conditionnal 3rd for him is a freakin' good move. Nobody expected a 'kings ransom'. Not this year, not before (when he wasn't even on the market, so I don't know what Steve is talking about here). And with Edmundon's retention clear next season, Habs regain a retention spot, so that's not even an issue.
Fine with this move knowing Vitek's salary for next yr got dumped. Fitz will get the true 1A this summer.
I'm a Habs fan and I have no idea why Steve though Allen would be worth a kings ransom. Happy with the deal, I think it's a good chance it becomes a 2nd round pick.
I’m a habs fan, and idk anyone that was expecting anything of value back for Jake Allen this season, let alone a ‘king’s ransom’ 😅 I like him, but he’s been outplayed by both Montembeault and Primeau, and he’s been taking games away from those two. The Habs were in a bad situation, and the fact that they got a half decent pick and arguably freed up $1.9m against the cap next season, I’d say they did pretty well in this deal
