N7Nucks Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Always liked Allen. But being at the tail end of his career see no value in us taking a stab at him. Hope he finds a home somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 If we claim him he has to play. If he clears waivers, could trade Sestito for Allen Sestito could protect MTL team smurf and Allen could give us some depth on Defence Both could be sent up and down after clearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they didn't need Sestito thus far I doubt they want him now. As for Allen, no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sampy Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Guess that trade didn't work out They traded Bourque, who they waived and had an extra year on his contract. Actually that trade really did work for Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Wow, his stock has fallen a lot. Still, you have to think a team with a weak D-core and/or injuries will take him for nothing. Dallas probably would, had they not just picked up Schlemko off waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's not unlimited roster moves, but he could be useful for depth for us with Hamhuis out at least. I still don't think it'd be quite worth it, probably not directly as a waiver pick up for sure, but maybe not even as mentioned. Someone could likely use him, similar to how Dallas picked up Schlemko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Canuck Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 That smurf team is 1st overall. If they didn't need Sestito thus far I doubt they want him now. As for Allen, no thanks. Ducks are 1st overall then Nashville. Montreal is tied with Chicago for 3rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Bryan Allen still costs a team 3.5 in salary and 2.6 in cap hit when he's in the minors. So I don't think any team without an NHL roster spot will be eager to acquire him for depth on the farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl's Jn Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 for the playoffs you can have anyone up salary cap doesn't count... allen would be good depth... plus he familiar with the canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 for the playoffs you can have anyone up salary cap doesn't count... allen would be good depth... plus he familiar with the canucks. It's not the playoffs, it's January. He takes up money and 1 of our only 2 roster spots left. Picking him up would be a terrible idea. The only way I'd do this is the way Mack said. Wait till he clears waivers and trade spare parts for him. Even then Hammer will back in 2 or 3 weeks and we will be stuck with him. Sorry to say, but he's done, and we don't need him.

patrickd73 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 For a 7th, he costs way way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlaevang Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I would only consider taking him if we are in a serious position to take run in the playoffs. You have to wonder though why Montreal placed him on waivers after only acquiring him a month or so ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
