BROSSARD, Que. — Kent Hughes searched for months to break up his team’s unusual three-goalie logjam. As the trade deadline neared, that opportunity finally opened up.
As the trade deadline neared, that opportunity finally opened up.
The pick could become a second-round selection if Allen plays in 40 or more games next season and his team makes the playoffs. Montreal retained 50 per cent of Allen’s US$3.85 million salary through the end of 2024-25. Meanwhile, Primeau put up a solid .901 in 14 starts. Hughes said the Canadiens believed they would have lost the young netminder on waivers had they solved the three-goalie system by sending him to the minors."Cayden did well and led us to feel more comfortable that he was ready for more regular NHL action,” Hughes said. “Given where we are, and the age difference of the three goalies, Jake became the more likely candidate to be traded.
After that, Hughes wasn’t under pressure to have a fire sale with forward Tanner Pearson the only pending UFA on Montreal’s active roster. Hughes said the Canadiens never intended to trade the 33-year-old leader from Saint-Hyacinthe, Que., who ranks fourth on the team in ice time . Montreal made a minor-league move on Thursday, acquiring forward Jacob Perreault from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for centre Jan Mysak.
