Insiders Drop Another Bombshell on a Goalie Trade With the Edmonton Oilers
Over the past few weeks, reports from well-placed hockey insiders such as Darren Dreger and Elliotte Friedman have suggested that the Montreal Canadiens and the Edmonton Oilers had begun discussions about a potential trade involving a Canadiens goalie.
Some even suggested that the two general managers, Kent Hughes and Ken Holland, might soon find common ground. According to the earlier reports, the two had multiple conversations about a trade involving either Samuel Montembeault, Jake Allen, or even Cayden Primeau.
However, Pierre LeBrun, during his segment on BPM Sports, tempered fans' excitement by stating that, according to his information, there had been no recent talks between the two teams. Nonetheless, he left the door open by adding that discussions might occur in the coming days or weeks.
"The Oilers are definitely looking at all their options, but according to my information, I even spoke with someone about this today, the Oilers and Canadiens haven't talked lately. That doesn't mean they won't start discussions soon, but I think it's a bit exaggerated as a rumor right now." - Pierre LeBrun
This comes as quite a surprise!
However, it's hard to determine who is correct in this matter, as all three insiders have excellent sources in the industry. Did Darren Dreger and Elliotte Friedman receive information that didn't reach Pierre LeBrun? It's quite possible.
LeBrun's statement somewhat cools off the numerous rumors that have been circulating on social media recently. However, Kent Hughes has shown time and again that he is proactive, and it would be surprising if he hadn't reached out to his counterpart, especially knowing the latter's desperate need for a new goalie.
This will be a situation to monitor in the coming weeks, but despite this information, don't be surprised if a trade is eventually completed.
