I think he's worth it depending on who you will be dropping. Personally, I own Allen and expect the starts to be split or slightly in his favor by the time January rolls around.
Allen's getting the start tonight against the Devils and he's been solid this season. I'm looking at the Blues' schedule this month and on paper, it looks like a pretty easy schedule. Starting tonight:
7 home games including Buffalo, Nashville twice, Ottawa and the Oilers
5 road games including Ottawa and the Jets
There will be only one back-to-back this month.
I need some goaltending help while I wait for Holtby and the Caps to get their act together.
Do you think Allen will be getting enough starts the coming weeks to be worth the pick up?

Finally....... Hitch goes back to him after the SHO.
Does anyone else agree with this? I ask as an Elliot owner. Giving Allen the easier games, and watching him pitch great games against sub-par teams, in my mind at least, doesn't mean he should be the starter. Don't get me wrong, Allen is great, but run him against the leagues best when they play, then go from there.

I'm thinking of dropping Kreider for Allen. The issue is really whether Allen can get more starts as the season rolls on. I'm currently in 2nd place in my league and the guy I'm trying to chase down owns Elliott, so I think picking up Allen would be a good move for me, what do you guys think?

Personally I'd drop Vermette before Kreider

And Miller bombed. Then why didn't they bring in another Goalie this year? They must have some confidence in Elliot no? This is a cup contending team, certainly they would have to have faith in him to not search elsewhere. Unless they believe a rookie tender can take them all the way.

I think there's some wishful thinking at work here, sure. Allen has certainly played well, but three of his four starts were back-to-backs.
Elliott has still outstarted Alllen 2-to-1 and has done well. However, if he were to be injured or struggle for a stretch of games, then look out.
RETIRED
