It's been weeks, if not months, that there have been rumors about a trade involving Jake Allen. The Oilers have been particularly active, sending scouts to watch the Canadiens' games several times.
According to Elliotte Friedman, a trade was indeed about to be confirmed between the two teams, but a last-minute change derailed it.
With Stuart Skinner's impressive performance in the past month, it's unlikely that the Oilers will turn back to the Canadiens, but the Kings could certainly be potential suitors.

With Phoenix Copley injured, the Kings will need a solid goaltender if they want to go far in the playoffs, and their window is open now. Moreover, they don't seem to have full confidence in Cam Talbot despite his strong start to the season. Currently, it's David Rittich who is winning games.
