"Jake Allen will not be traded in my opinion to a team that aspires to the Stanley Cup [...] But he is someone very respected who can help in many ways for a team. He does things that go unnoticed for us because we are not in the locker room but that help his team enormously. And on the side of Anaheim, there is a need to establish a culture and do the right things. If you bring in a guy like Jake Allen, he could be a stabilizer in many areas. He still has value, it won't be a first-round pick, but if a guy like John Gibson is traded, there's something to work on there, and he could end up with a team like the Anaheim Ducks." - Renaud Lavoie
