So far, we might be experiencing the quietest trade deadline in history.
However, this could turn into a real ticking time bomb, according to many experts who believe everything could unravel during the last few hours of the week.
Even if there isn't much movement right now, it doesn't mean there isn't a lot of behind-the-scenes work happening. Several NHL insiders point out that phones are ringing off the hook, and Kent Hughes is also a very active GM these days.
A trade to watch closely between the Canadiens and the Oilers
According to what has just been reported by the reputable site The Hockey News, among others by journalists Michael Traikos and Ryan Kennedy, Allen has a very good chance of heading to Edmonton in the next few hours. Wow!
On the one hand, Kennedy asserts, to our great surprise, that the veteran Canadiens goalie has a good annual contract.
His colleague Traikos went even further by mentioning that his departure is imminent and that the Oilers would be Allen's next destination.
"For Edmonton, acquiring a goalie is not a bad idea. Stuart Skinner is playing very well these days, but he's not the most consistent masked man in the NHL. Having an Allen behind him could only be beneficial. And it would allow Connor McDavid's team to add playoff experience." - Raphaël Simard
This is likely to add some spice to the situation surrounding the Canadiens by next Friday.
