I've been saying for weeks, the ask is too much, the suggested returns whether through the media or on here vs what actual happens is coming in lower on almost every deal made. Mercer was never going to be an option but IMO we should have still traded Markstrom.
Now CP is blowing up that the Devils are dumb, Allen is terrible. Montreal has been in full rebuild for a couple years, of course his numbers took a hit. Markstrom's more than likely will too now that we traded our 2nd pairing for picks.
Cheap gamble on Allen is better than overpaying for Markstrom. Allen trade can be fixed if it doesn't work.
