Since the acquisition of Jeff Petry and Casey DeSmith by the Montreal Canadiens, both have been consistently involved in trade rumors.

"Reports indicate that the Edmonton Oilers are interested in recently traded goaltender Casey DeSmith (to the Montreal Canadiens).

They are also exploring options to part ways with Jack Campbell."

- House of Hockey

A situation to keep an eye on! It would indeed make sense for the Habs to trade a goaltender before the start of the season, given the significant congestion currently present.

DeSmith, 31 years old, earns $1.8 million per season until 2024. He has a career save percentage of 0.912, an average of 2.81, and 58 wins.

Allen, 33 years old, earns $3.85 million per season until 2025. He has a career save percentage of 0.909, an average of 2.70, and 183 wins.
