I think Jake Allen would be a good acquisition if the Blues agreed to retain some salary. He’s not a #1 but he’s a good #1B. Unless Rittich takes the Flames to the cup (which he might), he will likely sign a bridge deal. Having Rittich and Allen split starts for the next year or 2 in a 52-30 ratio would be good. It would allow Rittich to establish himself as a “Kipper” like starter who can play 65+ games.

Also, I think Maroon would be a great acquisition from the Blues as he adds size and grit and can play up and down the lineup.
