While the goaltending situation in Montreal has been complicated since the beginning of the year, it cannot be denied that all three goaltenders have been contributing to the team's success. Jake Allen, Cayden Primeau, and Samuel Montembeault all provide a chance to win for the Canadiens in the majority of games.
On the other hand, the situation in Laval is entirely different. The team is losing matchups due to poor performances from its goaltenders, and it's becoming embarrassing.
Carolina Hurricanes veteran Antti Raanta was placed on waivers on Saturday afternoon. If he goes unclaimed, he could end up in Laval because the Hurricanes are not affiliated with any AHL team this season.
If Raanta, with solid career statistics and a salary of $1.5 million, goes unclaimed, what are the chances of Jake Allen being traded? They are relatively low, unless Hughes retains a significant amount of salary or accepts a very unfavorable contract in return.
