The NJ Devils continue to Shock Devils fans today in a not good way and get their Goaltender. No, Its not Jakob Markstrom from the Calgary Flames, its Jake Allen from the Montreal Canadiens for a 2025 3rd rd pick which can Become a 2nd round pick!
This is to help close out this year and for next season and the Canadiens do retain 50% of Allens contract which helps the Devils cap next season. This is also gives Nico Daws and Akira Schmid appropriate time to develop playing in the AHL with the Utica Comets.

This is NOT a good deal by Fitz ,he ABSOLUTELY dropped the ball here on this ,another goaltender under .900 ,should've waited for the off season, absolutely horrible deal .
The goalie I wanted was Kähkönen. I think that would've been a much better move. He's only 27, but would San Jose not retain money? I am also at the point where going for Markstrom is a mistake. Go in deep on Ullmark. He's 4 years younger and will provide so much more stability.
This allows Schmid to go back to Utica and saves Daws from having to play so many games. They can move Vitek in the offseason and look for a true top tier goalie. I don't see Allen as the starter going into next season but at least he can help ride out the rest of this one.
Not a great day but there wasn’t much else that could have been done to improve the team. It’s going to be a big summer for Tom.
Definitely an underwhelming trade deadline, but we did what we had to, recouped what we could and hopefully got a great leader to be next year's backup. Frustrating but far from a fireable offense!
I just wish they woulda landed on this a couple months ago. I really think this was the year of “wait and see”
Gotta do another video. Bye-bye Vanecek, hello Kähkönen 🙂
FiRE Fitzgerald yesterday 🔥 🔥 🔥
I’ve read elsewhere that Allen’s 5 v 5 save pct. Is much better than what we had. So, there’s something 🙏
Jake Allen better not be the Devils #1 goaltender next season! It would be a BIG mistake if he is!
I’m giving up on this season, Marty for GM
wtf. we already have plenty of mediocre goalies
it seems like whenever u extend a contract, they disappoint. We did it for Hynes – fired next yr, we did it for Ruff – fired next yr. Fitz is looking like same pattern- he did nothing to improve this team this yr and was way to slow to can Ruff
