Elliotte Friedman Drops a Bombshell on the Canadiens and the Oilers

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.

The fact that discussions between the Oilers and Canadiens are progressing suggests that a trade could be finalized soon. If you were Canadiens GM Kent Hughes, which goalie would you trade?

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.

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on in the coming days.
