This isn't the long-term contract deal that some folks may have been expecting. Instead, it fits in nicely with the Blues' trend this off-season: one to two year deals. There's been speculation that's to make it easy for a tweak at a later date if major changes need to be made, but for this year's All Rookie Team goalie, that probably isn't the case.

Allen is coming off of a two year, two way contract that paid him $750,000 in 2013-2014, and $850,000 in 2014-2015.
