It happened. Despite all of my screaming into the void... despite all of the articles on how good he was... I couldn’t convince the Hockey Gods. Jake Allen has been traded to the Montreal Canadiens, a team that was desperate for an amazing backup. Well, that got just that in Allen. In return, St. Louis only received a third-round pick and swapped seventh-rounders. That’s a cheap price to pay for Allen’s services, which were phenomenal as discussed HERE.
But life moves on. And coming up into Allen’s role will be the highly anticipated Ville Husso.
