There are discussions regarding a potential trade between the Colorado Avalanche and Jake Allen, a netminder with a $3.85 million annual salary and one year left on his contract. However, there is no deal confirmed yet, and salary retention may be necessary for the trade to happen. Meanwhile, Oliver Kylington, a defenseman for the Calgary Flames, is a pending unrestricted free agent. Talks about his future with the Flames haven't started officially, but there is mutual interest in reaching an agreement to keep him in Calgary.
On this—as of a couple days ago, talks hadn’t started between Kylington’s camp and the #flames on a contract but I do believe it’s pretty mutual, the interest from both sides in getting something worked out to keep him in Calgary. https://t.co/Y5Y0PfOq9C
Spoke with #Flames blueliner Oliver Kylington today 1on1 about a few things…his return, mental health, and…his future. He's also a pending unrestricted free agent. Full interview be up on TSN soon here. Kylington, on if he sees himself in Calgary beyond this season: https://t.co/YiSsEGFV5Z
According to @PuckPedia, Allen makes 3.85 million per year. He still has another year left on his current contract. Unless there is a lot of salary retention or the #Avs dump A LOT, financially I don't see how this could work. #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/emGPXqSole
There is no Jake Allen deal to Colorado. The two clubs haven’t spoken in days but there has been previous discussions. Nothing close at this stage.
No word from the Avs on this. But I guess we'll see. Jake Allen is one of the netminders I think would fit what Colorado needs. But he makes $3.85 million and has another year on his deal after this. It'll require salary retention to make it work. https://t.co/CfuwbEPbuO
