Traded for Ken Dryden: Allen
will be forever known in hockey history as one of the two players traded
by Montreal to Boston in exchange for Hall of Famer Ken Dryden. At the
time, Allen was the player that Boston really wanted, as he had been playing
for the Bruins' junior team in Niagara Falls. Montreal had drafted Allen
ahead of Dryden, and new Canadiens general manager Sam Pollock offered
Allen as part of a trade for the goalie. The trade, one of the most
famous in NHL history, was Pollock's first as a GM.
