Major transaction between the Montreal Canadiens and the Edmonton Oilers: new details are emerging, and it's coming soon
The goaltending situations for the Canadiens and the Oilers are completely opposite. The Canadiens have three goalies performing well and capable of playing in the NHL, while the Oilers are struggling to find one who is decent.
Several well-connected insiders, such as Pierre LeBrun and Elliotte Friedman, have mentioned multiple times that there are negotiations between the two teams, with Jake Allen's name standing out the most.
There's a new development now
The goalie targeted by the Oilers might not necessarily be Allen at this point. It could be any of the three.
It's known that the Oilers' scouts are present at almost every Canadiens game, whether in Montreal or elsewhere. It wouldn't even be surprising if the current goaltending musical chairs are due to the scouts' requests.
It's a situation to keep an eye on, but one thing is certain: something is definitely brewing, and sooner or later, Kent Hughes will make a move.
