It appears that the Edmonton Oilers were once interested in acquiring goaltender Jake Allen. The team, led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, has faced consistent issues with their goaltending. Jake Allen's name was often linked with the Oilers, but he remains in Montreal while Edmonton has continued with its current roster.

According to insider Elliotte Friedman, there was a point this season where it seemed highly likely that Allen would be traded to Edmonton. However, now Friedman is not convinced that it will happen.

He was quoted saying,

"There really was a moment this season when I truly thought Jake Allen was going to be traded to Edmonton, now I am not convinced that it will happen."

Presently, other teams are in search of goalies, and Allen could be a solution for some interested parties. Friedman believes that the Los Angeles Kings will add a goaltender, whether it's Jake Allen or someone else, indicating a strong conviction that the Kings will make a move in this direction.

These developments are ongoing and worth keeping an eye on.
