Yes and yes.
Do you see Jake Allen as a great buy low option?
Do you see him bounce back with the new coach for the ROS?

Yes and yes.
I think so, but within reason. It all depends on how "low" the buy low truly is.
The team D had been a little leaky in front of Allen for much of the season. But I've not heard anyone suggest that to be the reason (or even the biggest reason) behind Allen's subpar performance. So while I agree that it's reasonable to expect the Blues to play better in front of Allen than they have been, Allen has a lot to improve on his own right as well.
Too small to even really be called a sample size, but last night was a good start.

not sure if he can bounce back this season enough to even make his totals decent, but he's defiantly a by low guy.

Guy in my league flipped Cam Ward for him to his panicky owner two days ago. And got Muzzin and Killorn thrown in. Cheeky bastard. Brilliant move if you ask me.
him or Lundqvist is another to target if he has another bad game; I got him for Lehner and Zibanejad.

As others have said depends on how low is low but he may not recover his stats by season's end but if you only need what he does ROS the. I'd take the chance at the right price
