Let’s revisit the trade announced by the Toronto Maple Leafs involving another 6-foot-3 goaltender.<\/p>\n

It’s a matter of market dynamics.<\/p>\n

Every move involving goaltenders can influence the value of others.<\/p>\n

First, let’s review the facts.<\/p>\n

Toronto traded Woll to the Philadelphia Flyers in a deal that was confirmed yesterday.<\/p>\n

So there is now an established goaltender changing teams, and he had a fairly similar profile to Montembeault.<\/p>\n

His situation is now resolved, which changes the landscape of goaltenders available on the trade market.<\/p>\n

For the Canadiens, that could work in their favour.<\/p>\n

The fewer goaltenders available, the more Montembeault’s value could rise (and the more demand increases).<\/p>\n

We already know Montembeault is generating interest, particularly from the Edmonton Oilers.<\/p>\n

But Woll’s move to Philadelphia could certainly help accelerate the situation.<\/p>\n

A trade that could help the Montreal Canadiens in the Samuel Montembeault situation<\/p>\n

Maxime Truman had already revealed that the Oilers have significant interest in Montembeault.<\/p>\n

But he also added an important nuance.<\/p>\n

Montembeault may not be the only goaltender on Edmonton’s radar.<\/p>\n

Was Woll one of them? Could this force the Oilers to speed things up?<\/p>\n

Every goaltender who finds a new home elsewhere reduces the options available to teams like Edmonton.<\/p>\n

Nothing confirms that Woll was specifically being targeted by the Oilers, but it’s easy to suspect he may have been.<\/p>\n

Now it remains to be seen whether this market dynamic will actually benefit Kent Hughes.<\/p>\n
