With three goalkeepers in the line-up, four with Cayden Primeau, speculation is bound to be rife. A deal is bound to happen, but Kent Hughes has left Jake Allen and Casey DeSmith in doubt. We have a lead this morning, as Raphaël Doucet posted a very interesting message. A well-informed source has just texted me that Allen has been told he will stay in Montreal. So that means bye bye DeSmith? So it would be confirmed, Jake Allen will be staying in Montreal. Knowing this, there are two possible options for Kent Hughes. Trade DeSmith or keep three of the CH's goaltenders. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/raphdoucet/status/1696892437262704838?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1696892437262704838%7Ctwgr%5Edd47fc1540389fac29418933abe7fa7e6c806d04%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.habsetlnh.com%2FMarche-des-echanges-le-verdict-vient-tout-juste-de-tomber-pour-Jake-Allen-et-ce-serait-officiel-270765'> </a></blockquote></div>
