Episode 82: Jake Allen Trade, Cap Space, Marchessault a Good Fit? Get PuckD Podcast: A Habs Podcast

- Hockey
In this episode, we discuss...
The Habs traded Jake Allen to the New Jersey Devils for a 2025 conditional 3rd round pick and they retained 50% of his salary. Was this a good trade for the Canadiens?
Minnesota pulled their goalie in overtime to ice 4 players. This strategy led to a 4-3 win over the Nashville Predators. This was a risky decision by the Minnesota Wild. If Nashville would've scored, it would have resulted in the Wild losing out on the OT point (aka the loser point). Should more teams do this? Or could this lead to another rule change?
At the moment, the Montreal Canadiens will have about 10 million dollars of cap space at the start of the offseason. Assuming Xhekaj signs a bridge deal (1-2 million), that would leave the have with about 8-9 million dollars. Should they go after players on the UFA market? Could Jonathan Marchessault be a good fit for the Canadiens? Should they wait for the 2025-26 UFA group (a lot of big names - if they don't re-sign), where the Habs will have a lot more cap space available to them.
