    Well if theres a goalie trade Edmonton doesnt have many assets the habs wpuld want its bassically him, holloway and the 1st

  3. Bohmer

    He’s still pretty young and a C, I can see it. He’s a second year AHLer so for Allen it’s not super costly.

    Saw another rumour that something was cooking on Wednesday for the Oilers on the goalie front but fell apart. Allen for Bourgault would be a tidy piece of work for KH.

    I like Matvei Petrov more, but I don’t mind Bourgault, he will probably end up as a decent 3rd line player.

  6. Habsfan_2000

    Do the Oilers even have the cap room to take Allen?

  7. Dank_Bubu

    Oilers have the short end of the stick. Great timing for an advantageous trade for us !

  8. Fundingforis6

    Kent Hughes fleece incoming? Desperate Oilers GM needs to find a new goalie and turn things around…

  9. slafyousilly

    I’m pumped cause this is from our trusted insider shogun. To those asking why… lol

    I feel like we have a million of these low 1st/2nd round quality forwards prospects.

    Roy, Farrell, Mesar, Beck, Heineman, Kidney…

    Wouldn’t hurt to have another one I guess but I feel like a pick would easier to bundle later to try and get something more.

  11. ukrainianhab

    Idk seems like a player we already have a lot of.

    Oilers are not giving up on this season, nor do I think they should. It would be a good time to capitalize on their woes. But I don’t know who we would take from them to clear some of their cap

  13. [deleted]

    They desperately need a goalie who can actually make a save, we’ve got 3! choose your pick I guess, whichever one won’t screw us down the line.

  14. Wolfatrix

    Omg yes! I saw him play in Shawinigan and this guy rocks. Great numbers in the AHL for his age too

    Edit : I’m obviously biased but I don’t care

  15. Le8ronJames

    Ah yes the good old Habs are interested in “insert Québécois player”. I swear anytime there’s a trade possible with a team it’s the same thing.

  16. Thaddeauz

    I’m not that excited by Bourgault, but he’s only 21yo I’m ok with taking a chance on him.

    That said, one of the reason why Primeau is still with the team as the 3rd goalie is because they have nobody else in case of injury and they don’t want to risk losing Primeau by sending him down.

    If we trade Allen for Bourgault, Campbell and a pick (a 1st would be nice, but maybe a 2nd). Then Campbell is already passed waiver (not that someone would take him), but that would leave us with Monty and Primeau with the big club and Campbell as a 3rd Goalie that can be brought up in case of injury.

    Yes Campbell contract is bad, but it’s only 3.8M$ when buried, that’s manageable for now and who know. In two years, his contract won’t be as untradeable as it is now. We gonna need to take care of the goalie situation eventually, we have 3 goalies now and Allen will be on his last contract year next season. It might be out best opportunity to get something decent out of it for the future.

  17. FakeCrash

    Imagine the sigh of relief from Primeau if the Habs manage to move Allen.

    I didn’t listen to the radio hit but I would be shocked if Dregger actually said anything concrete. Knowing Dregger’s ability to only hedge and say absolutely nothing of substance, I suspect that Dregger said something along the lines of « I’m not saying that the Habs have inquired or even spoken to the Oilers, but if they were to do so one player that they might ask about is Xavier Bourgault. Of course that doesn’t mean that they would ask about him, but he could be someone they would keep an eye on. »

    So we’re officially done with 2019 1rst round draft picks ?

  20. Seb_Nation

    There’s no smoke without a fire, Bourgault linked to Montreal by Dreger and Allen linked to Edmonton by Friedman…. Ken Holland basically scrambling to save his job at the moment before it’s too late means there’s a move coming and it might be a plug just so he stays in his seat.

    Edit: Looking at their cap space it’ll be hard to send Allen without using our last retention slot because even if you take back a guy like Ceci they’d still be over by 666k with Pickard in the minors. Maybe Holland can send Holloway or Hamblin down and play with a 21 man roster, that’d bring them back up to positive cap without us using our slot.

  21. NickyFives

    He’s quebecois, of course they have interest lol

  22. Tiny-Bend6060

    Campbell played his first game last night for Bakersfield.

    4 goals against on 20 shots took the loss

    .800 SV%

  23. Acceptable_Major4350

    Habs need a goalie for their AHL team also

  24. Oilers need more than just a goalie. Their 3rd line should be a 4th and their 4th line should be a 1st in the AHL.
