In the last few hours, Barstool journalist Matt Murley sparked a buzz on the web with a major rumor involving the Montreal Canadiens. According to his information, goaltender Jake Allen was traded to the Colorado Avalanche.

Naturally, this information quickly circulated throughout the NHL, especially since no reputable journalist had yet confirmed the news.
However, Chris Johnston, who is an excellent reference regarding transactions in the NHL, recently denied this information, stating that no trade had occurred at this time.
"I have been informed that reports of Jake Allen being traded to the Avalanche are inaccurate. Nothing is happening there... at least for now." - Chris Johnston

Darren Dreger echoed this sentiment but added that the two general managers, Chris MacFarland and Kent Hughes, had discussions regarding a potential trade involving the 33-year-old veteran.
"There is no trade between the Avalanche and the Canadiens regarding Jake Allen. The two clubs haven't spoken for a few days, but discussions have taken place. Nothing is imminent at this stage." - Darren Dreger

Thus, it's confirmed that the Colorado Avalanche had shown interest in the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge's goaltender recently. This is significant information, especially since many fans feared that number 34 would not have value on the trade market.
Will Chris MacFarland make another move to acquire Jake Allen in the coming days? One thing is for sure, this will be a situation to monitor closely!
Clearly, Kent Hughes has not finished his work ahead of the trade deadline. It would not be surprising if other trades are formalized by the organization in the near future.
