Kevin Weekes reveals that Kent Hughes is working on Jake Allen

In the last few seconds, tipster and analyst Kevin Weekes (ESPN) just released some surprising news about goalie Jake Allen.

A nice surprise:

While there have been numerous trade rumors for months involving Allen (due to his expiring contract), now there could be a big turnaround on this issue.

Instead of trading him, Kent Hughes is reportedly in the process of offering him a multi-season contract extension, making him the Montreal Canadiens' new number one goalie (in the absence of Carey Price).

Allen, 32, is currently in the final year of a contract that pays him $2.875 million annually.

Do you like the idea of extending his contract for a few more seasons? Or would you rather the CH trade him and get a younger goalie?

A file to follow closely, but it is a very interesting development!
