My take 7

I’m assuming Allen could be had at a cheaper price tag.
Sincerely,
Life long Habs fan

As a Habs fan, I also believe that Allen will fetch a 3rd round pick at the most.

Habs accept. Looks like a overpay for Allen in my opinion, and I'm a Habs fan....

You think Mittelstadt and a no value cap dump get you a top ten pick? Worse, our top ten pick this year plus our 2nd rounders for both this year's draft and next year's.

Do you honestly think Minnesota, who's in the bottom 10 of the league this year is going to wait until the 3rd round to make a selection in this year's draft?

They also already have Rossi and JEE in their top-six. So Mitts is playing 3C in Minnesota. Why would we pay that for someone who's going to cost more than we can afford, only to stick him into a 3rd line checking role?

Try and think about other teams situations and needs when making posts. It'll go a lot better for you in the future.

That might be enough if either player becomes available, if you remove the CBJ 2nd and remove all protections...and win a lottery this year.
