The reported cost for to move JVR as a pure cap dump was a 1st. And Montreal is definitely not trading Allen for a 3rd.

Habs decline, even a 2nd won't be enough to get them to trade allen (at this point)

I'm aware of that. In an ideal world, someone like the Coyotes would be willing to do it for a second. Trying to be a bit more conservative.



Allen is the most confusing goalie I have had to work with on CF. Sometimes he's worth as high as a first, other times he is worth as low as a 4th. No one can seem to agree on it. I felt a 3rd is fair as hes a pending UFA, likely won't be back, and the Habs could simply just run Montembeault again given they aren't winning right now anyways. My other option was Reimer.
