Thinking outside the box

I really don't see the why behind this, Samsonov is good but you've already got Allen, Montembault (Who showed he can be a backup in this league) and then a plethora of promising prospect*. This brings me to believe they're either looking to trade Allen when he's back from his injury (Likely a deal already in place somewhere to be a backup?) and bring Sammy as the clear-cut starter or Montreal is looking to be better next year thus going against the idea of a rebuild.

*Primeau had a setback but still figures to be a goaltender in the NHL, Dobes and Dichow are showing elite numbers in their respective leagues and Vrbetic is a wild card who has a much better statline in his second season in the OHL.

This kid was a very controversial pick but I'm a firm believer of Mailloux and think he'll become a very good hockey player yet now reports say it is believed that Montreal is looking to make a hockey trade for Samsonov, who adds? If the new management in place is looking to clear the Bergevin era from our memories well Mailloux is one of the dominos that they might be looking at.

On waivers I guess?
