In the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft, the Prince Albert Raiders selected Allan in the first round, third overall.[2] In the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, he was selected in first round, 32nd overall by the Chicago Blackhawks.[1] He was later signed by the Blackhawks to a three-year, entry-level contract on September 17, 2021.[3]

Prior to the 2022–23 season, on October 4, 2022, he was named captain of the Raiders.[4] However, his tenure did not last long. On November 16, 2022, Allan and teammate Reese Shaw were traded to the Seattle Thunderbirds for Easton Kovacs, Braydon Dube, Gabe Ludwidg, and six draft selections, including two first rounds selections in 2023 and 2024.[5] With the Thunderbirds, Allan won the Ed Chynoweth Cup as 2023 WHL playoff champions.[6] This victory qualified the team for the 2023 Memorial Cup, where they reached the final, before being defeated by the Quebec Remparts. Allan was named to the Memorial Cup All-Star Team at the end of the tournament.[7]
