    I like how Mash says people “exclaim” and “wonder” about things lol

    Kick wondered aloud:

    devils fans claim his rebound control was real bad and he was giving up a softie or giving up two quick goals too many times. but who knows, they’re devils fans comments i was reading. those people up there are all effed up in the head from all the smog, chemicals, and general north jerseyness (which is a documented clinical medical condition).

    I think when Markstrom missing about a dozen games to injury forced Allen to play too much last year in a short span, which did not help. Plus, the Devils were suppose to be contenders, so fans had high expectations, so many injuries derailed that train.

    He is not a #1 (far from it), but he is in the pack of decent available back-up goalies, and only costs cap space and no additional assets.

    If you limit his games to back0to-back nights and the occasional rest of Monty, he is not terrible.

    There are worse, but likely better options out there.

    Pat exclaimed:

    he could play just one game in a habs uniform and he’ll get a statue in front of the Bell centre loll

    tks Mash! good job.
    Malkin is done, pass

    I think he is still a 60-65 point player, assuming he plays 70 games per year.

    For a year or two, that might not be a terrible option.

    I mention him specifically because of the Russian connection with Demidov, but I could see them looking for a similar-type of stop gap player for the 2nd line center, as there is quite frankly not much out there right now… but with Hughes and Gorton, you just never know…

    Habs would make their money back on jersey sales alone.

    LOL.

    yeah well it would have to be on a very short term, it would only be to patch the roster up temporarily, that’s for sure.

    I am not sold on Lyon, very inconsistent.

    I still think Allen would like to finish in a Habs uniform, and given there is a plethora of same-quality back-ups available, why not go with the (former) devil you know?

    Habs will likely force him to put “get cool gear” in the contract.

    Pat astutely mentioned:

    I don’t know about that, of course there’s a dumb portion of the fanbase who might complain that Crosby is “past his prime” but I feel the majority of fans would understand where he’s at in his career… there would most likely be an endless honeymoon between Crosby and the fanbase if he ever wears a habs jersey.

    Habs would make their money back on jersey sales alone.

    LOL.
