Incredible, but true: the menage a trois is over among the Canadiens goaltenders, after Jake Allen was traded to the New Jersey Devils. General manager Kent Hughes has finally resolved a priority file for him, but has he succeeded in doing so?
Our panelists discuss it and take the opportunity to take stock of the situation at the Habs. They also survey the NHL to determine the big winners of the trade deadline.
