Massive Shock on Waivers: Award-Winning Goaltender Available for Free

Renowned insider David Pagnotta reports that this move could potentially open the door for a trade with the Montreal Canadiens. The Hurricanes are reportedly very active in the goalie market, and with the Canadiens' current three-goalie situation and the availability of Jake Allen, there seems to be a strong connection between the two teams.

The Hurricanes had shown interest in the Canadiens' veteran goalie in the last moments before making the drastic decision with Raanta.

This development is certainly one to keep an eye on in the coming hours, as it could signal significant goaltender movement in the NHL.
