Winnipeg trade doesn't work. They'd want either high picks/prospects or a hockey trade that gives them a similar potential C, but one under contract (and we aren't trading Dach).
We aren't getting a 2nd for Allen. Even accounting for team quality, he's had a bad year. He has the yips giving up early goals as well. His contract extension only solidifies that, even with retention.
Might get another project player with a similar contract if someone desperately needs a goaltender, but not likely.
Some merit to a Bailey dump scenario.
It looks like Primeau is done in Montreal. Even if we have an injury and he gets some starts, there won't be enough of a sample to justify keeping him unless it's accompanied by some stellar, game stealing play in the minors.
Time to move on and give starts to the next potential NHL goaltenders.
