This shows that the Habs are not necessarily shopping "only" Jake Allen, who was not of interest to Columbus in these trade discussions.
Kent Hughes is clearly really trying to end the three-goalie situation, but it's not easy.

In any case, we recommend the full article above. Things are moving, behind the scenes, at least.
