Dramatic turn on NHL waivers and Jake Allen has just lost a lot of value
We just had a big surprise this Saturday, and it's not good news for the Montreal Canadiens.
Goaltender Antti Raanta has just been placed on NHL waivers by the Carolina Hurricanes.
Wow!
For the Canes to have to place him on waivers, it says a lot about the current goaltender market.
Many said that Raanta has the same value as Jake Allen, and clearly, Raanta has no value.
So this clearly seems to indicate that the market value of the veteran Allen is not really that high.
Some observers have suggested precisely placing Allen on waivers, so do you think this would be the solution to end the three-way?
In any case, that's how Carolina put an end to their own three-way.
It will be extremely interesting to see if Raanta is claimed or not.
Don't be surprised if a team like the Edmonton Oilers claims him.
Raanta, 34 years old, has a career NHL efficiency of 0.915 and 133 wins in 265 games. He earns 1.5 million dollars this season.
Allen, 33 years old, has a career NHL efficiency of 0.908 and 186 wins in 406 games. He earns 3.85 million dollars this season.
