The thing about him is as much as he was blasted on here (and even though the Devils do little to make life easy for their goalies, he obviously wasn't great by any stretch), he's really only had one bad year, and his record itself this season somehow actually wasn't bad. He could rebound and be the middle-of-the-road guy to slightly above that he was prior.
But even though it was a brief stay, it was already time for both parties to move on from each other. The potential for a serious blow-up had Fitz decided to bet on a bounceback was just waaaaaaay too strong.
One narrative that needs to be quelled is that somehow a tandem of Allen and Kahkonen would've had the Devils in the playoffs, had they been here longer. These guys are absolutely playing out of their minds right now...and over their heads. It would be nice if the Devils could stop making them work so damned hard, but unless that happens, they're going to start giving up their fair share of goals. The looks that other teams get...
