We have an update on the well-known trade between the Montreal Canadiens and the New Jersey Devils that we have been closely monitoring. We mentioned it a few weeks ago, but the trade involving Jake Allen could be altered in Kent Hughes' favor following an injury to the Devils' number-one goaltender, Jacob Markstrom.
This trade could still be modified in the Canadiens' favor due to the following condition.
"One thing to remember: if Jake Allen plays 40 games this season, the Canadiens will receive a second-round pick in the next draft.
Otherwise, it will be a third-round pick."
Otherwise, it will be a third-round pick."
Obviously, as the backup behind Markstrom, the chances of Allen playing 40 games were very slim.. until the Devils' number-one goaltender suffered a serious injury.
That's why we were keeping a close eye on this situation.

We will have to keep a close watch on this, but it looks like Markstrom's return to play is imminent, and yes, this will inevitably have an impact on the Canadiens.
Jake Allen has currently played 21 games this season.
