The Montreal Canadiens are in a difficult moment in net with Jakub Dobes and Samuel Montembeault struggling to keep up, and the possibility of a trade is starting to spark conversation.
But now, the comments from David Pagnotta on Inside Sports have clearly added another layer of curiosity around the team.
Nothing is confirmed, but you can feel that something is brewing in Montreal.
In his segment, Pagnotta explained that the situation could become interesting very quickly for Montreal.
The Montreal Canadiens, a possible move in net, and the Oilers watching the situation
In his remarks Pagnotta stated:
“If… Dobes is playing well… Montembeault starts to increase his game, I’m very curious if the Canadiens are in a position to consider that type of a move; I’d be also curious… if the Oilers may wanna go in that type of direction

This is going to get people talking!
To add even more to this rumor, Pagnotta also revisited the Canadiens’ goalie management.
“They started to give a little bit more ice time to Sam Montembault; is it…trying to give him a little bit more control in the crease to show other teams that may look to make a goaltending move”
– David Pagnotta
It’s a statement that makes you think, especially given the Canadiens’ current situation.
Let’s be honest, the situation is still unclear, but one thing is certain: this comment from Pagnotta will not go unnoticed.
The next month could reveal much more than we think about the future of the Canadiens’ crease.
