Edmonton Oilers interested in Montreal Canadiens goalie Sam Montembeault.

Writes Truman, “I’ve learned that the Oilers have a strong interest in Samuel Montembeault . They aren’t the only ones, and Montembeault isn’t the only candidate on their list, but there’s clearly a path that could lead to a trade. We’ll know more in the coming days…n Calvin Pickard and Connor Ingram will become unrestricted free agents on July 1st. Jarry is therefore the only goaltender currently under contract with the Oilers (along with Nathaniel Day, Samuel Jonsson, and Matt Tomkins, all of whom didn’t play in the NHL in 2025-26). Will Montembeault form a duo with Tristan Jarry in September? … Everything will depend on the price demanded by Kent Hughes (for a goaltender claimed off waivers, it should be noted) and the other candidates offered to the Oilers. Is Montembeault’s value positive? Negative? High? Zero? No, we won’t get Connor McDavid in exchange for Samuel Montembeault, even by adding Oliver Kapanen, Bryce Pickford and a second-round pick!”
