Amidst the NHL's ongoing summer trades, Casey DeSmith faces potential relocation for the second time in weeks. Recently involved in the Karlsson trade to Montreal, DeSmith's name is in trade discussions again.
Insider reports suggest the Canadiens are actively exploring trading DeSmith, given their goalie depth. While trades are routine, this situation bears a personal weight as DeSmith's wife is expecting, making trade prospects worrisome.
Though uncertain about the market, DeSmith's goaltending abilities are likely to draw interest from goalie-thirsty teams, despite the Canadiens' goalie abundance. The upcoming season's starting role with the Canadiens seems unlikely.
