Elliote Friedman reported previously that the two discussed goalie Jake Allen.
Canadiens GM David Dreger says they are keeping an eye on Xavier Bourgault, who the Edmonton Oilers selected in the 2021 draft.
In the event Allen is traded to the Edmonton Oilers, you might consider Bourgault part of the deal.
The Quebec-born AHL forward Bourgault has four points in seven games. This would be a homecoming for the native French-Canadian.
It is exciting to gain a competent goaltender, but it is also costly if Bourgault must be parted with.
Bourgault was drafted 22nd overall in the 2021 NHL Draft and his first season in the AHL saw him register 13 goals and 21 assists for 34 points in the AHL in 62 games.
