Massive Rumour Confirmed in Seattle: a Canadiens Goalie May Be On Their Way to the West Coast

Their goalies have not met expectations since the beginning of the season, and their need has become even more urgent following the recent serious injury of their number one goaltender, Philipp Grubauer.

It has even been reported that the team's general manager, Ron Francis, recently had discussions with Kent Hughes. Now that Detroit has lost two of its goaltenders, the Canadiens are one of the few teams in the league with a surplus of goaltenders.

Thus, rumors persist about a possible major transaction in Seattle, and renowned journalist Bruce Garrioch has also confirmed that Francis has had discussions with the Canadiens regarding one of their goaltenders.

So, there are two confirmations in a short time to this effect.

He doesn't specify which one, but given the status and new contract of Samuel Montembeault with the Canadiens, it is evident that the transaction concerns either Jake Allen or Cayden Primeau.

These pieces of information therefore confirm the existence of a possible trade between Montreal and Seattle.

This will be a file to watch after the holidays, as the reopening of trades could have an influence on negotiations.
