The goaltending situation with the Montreal Canadiens is a hot topic, not just in Montreal but across the NHL. With several teams looking to bolster their goaltending duo, there's notable interest in what's happening with the Canadiens.
Renowned hockey insiders like Pierre LeBrun and Elliotte Friedman have pointed out that the Edmonton Oilers are a team to watch for a potential trade involving a Canadiens goalie. Given their reputation as well-informed insiders, this information should be taken seriously.
Elliotte Friedman, during a recent appearance on Sportsnet, reiterated that Oilers General Manager Ken Holland is keen on acquiring a new goalie to help his team get back on the winning track. He mentioned that Holland is open to trading for one of the three Canadiens goalies: Samuel Montembeault, Jake Allen, or Cayden Primeau.
Each of the three goalies would likely command a different price. It would be interesting to know what the two general managers have in mind for a potential deal. Given the Oilers' desperate need for a new goalie, it will be intriguing to see if Hughes can leverage this situation to get a more attractive return.
