Major: Goalie Transaction for the Montreal Canadiens? A Significant Name Withdraws from the Market, Aiding Kent Hughes
We are entering the final stretch of the regular season, which will be crucial for many teams regarding their playoff participation.
Several clubs need reinforcements in front of the net, and the most coveted goalies will undoubtedly be those who will be free agents at the end of the season.As Kent Hughes mentioned after signing Samuel Montembeault, it would have been easier to trade him without a contract, so the team's intention is very clear.
Among the available goalies, veteran Jonathan Quick is having an outstanding season with the Rangers. He fulfills a mentoring role for Igor Shesterkin, in addition to delivering excellent on-ice performances, frankly beyond expectations.
He has the ideal profile of a sought-after goalie, but he is absolutely not available. The Rangers have just offered him a one-year contract extension.
