Most teams in the league arent running a goalie for 65-70 games a season anymore, compressed schedule or not.
Rask played ~45, vasilevski ~50, bishop ~45...
Price and hellebyuck were the only goalies in the league that were going to get to 65 games and now basically for sure Price won't next season.
Good trade.

There are 18 pending UFA goalies who played significant games this year. Some of them will not be re-signed by their teams. The question then is why Allen and not one of them?
