The New Jersey Devils were very active in pursuing Jake Allen last season before finally acquiring him at the trade deadline.
The former Canadiens goaltender is now the only goalie under contract for the Devils heading into the upcoming season.
The New Jersey team will also have the 10th overall pick in the upcoming draft. However, this choice could potentially complicate Jake Allen's situation and the conditional draft pick.
The Devils are determined to make a trade for a goalie. It's their priority. This could relegate Jake Allen to a backup role. He must play 40 games for the Canadiens' 3rd pick to become a 2nd round selection.
