Jake Allen decided over the weekend that he wanted to extend his stay with the Habs, inking a two-year, $7.7 million extension. Was that the right decision by the Canadiens? Our writers offer up their thoughts.

The Habs looked disjointed again, but they were also facing a much more NHL-ready squad (again) as their struggles continued as they’ve yet to register a win in the preseason. On Tuesday, they fell 5-4 to a group from Ottawa that wanted to ramp up the physicality, a strategy that Montreal had little answer for.
