Last week, NHL Network and ESPN tipster Kevin Weekes reported a possible upcoming turnaround regarding goaltender Jake Allen:
Just as he appeared to be on track to play his final year in Montreal, Weekes revealed this. A nice surprise:
"** Keep an eye on **
I'm told the @CanadiensMTL are in discussions with Jake Allen on a multi-year contract extension." - Weekes
The 32-year-old Allen is currently in the final year of a contract that pays him $2.875 million annually.
This morning, in a press conference at the organization's annual golf tournament, Jake Allen confirmed this rumour:
"Allen confirmed "we've had discussions" - he and management - about a contract extension, but he had no further comment on the matter." - John Lu, TSN
Interesting! So Allen could indeed extend his stay in Montreal and it will be a case to watch. Kevin Weekes' sources were right, both sides are in discussions!
Do you like the idea of offering a new multi-season contract to Jake Allen, to keep him as a Montreal Canadiens goalie for a longer period of time?
