...so Bergevin should've waited and NOT acquire Allen because it was doing the Blues a favor?

No Pat... he shouldn't have had to cough up the 3rd rounder! Just getting rid of Allen was enough of a return to the Blues

Weird for montreal to trade for a starter

what?

1st Allen is not a cap dump, he can play.
2nd, what tells you that the price was not reduced because of the high salary of Allen? maybe the going rate for a good backup is a 2nd round pick, and Habs only paid a 3rd round pick because of the 'cap dump'.

Allen was a cap dump to the Blues, you can't argue that

of course, juste like Nylander would be a cap dump for the Leafs. doesn't mean they wouldn't get anything in return.
I repeat, Allen can play, it's not like they will buy him out like they did for Mason.

I don't think it's an overpayment... I know he wasn't the only goalie available, but other teams surely would've paid the same for a very decent goaltender, no?

not denying that one second, they wanted to free some cap space. they did. that doesn't mean they had to pay to do it, since Allen can play.
