New Jersey Devils acquired Jake Allen and Kaapo Kahkonen
Vitek Vanecek to San Jose Sharks.
New Jersey Devils acquired goalie Jake Allen from Montreal Canadiens in exchange for a 2025 Conditional 3rd Round Pick. Also they acquired goalie Kaapo Kahkonen from San Jose Sharks in exchange for Vitek Vanecek and a 2025 7th Round Pick.
Trading Allen is a high-risk deal and a controversial improvement. Allen isn't more Powerful than any of Devils goalies at the moment of trade (when Vanecek was still in the team). But recently his Power Score was $3.9 million. Will he play better in the better team or it is a time for decline?
Hope it works, but Allen and Kahkonen are broken, and it takes a lot of courage to climb back up.
