No one is guaranteed to leave Montreal, but guys like David Savard, Tanner Pearson and Johnathan Kovacevic could find themselves under other skies.
There’s also a certain Jake Allen who could find a buyer. The goaltender was one of the topics of discussion between Michael Traikos and Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News.
I don’t know if teams feel the same way, but honestly, the fact that his contract doesn’t expire in 2024 is scary. Especially when you consider that the goalkeeper has been struggling for some time now…
According to him, he wouldn’t necessarily be confused since both cities are Canadian and eat hockey. So there wouldn’t be a big culture shock.
So Traikos thinks he’ll be traded, even if Edmonton isn’t interested. However, there are already plenty of goalkeepers on the market. They include Jacob Markstrom, Juuse Saros, Elvis Merzlikins and Kaapo Kahkonen.
And as I mentioned yesterday, Kent Hughes doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to resolve his situation in front of the net … If he doesn’t get his price, he won’t budge.
For Edmonton, acquiring a goalie isn’t a bad idea. Stuart Skinner is playing very well these days, but he’s not the most consistent masked man in the NHL. Having Allen behind him could only benefit him.
And it would give Connor McDavid’s team added playoff experience.
