I dont want them to get another vet yhe young guys need some ice time. If they get another vet it means they prioritize the present, i do not think this rebuild is even close to done. Also hopefully Monty doesnt get the net the dude doesnt deserve it honestly. Dobes does are we gonna do this Tendy whack a mole again?
Lets hope Kent was over schmoozing Dubass with a petty package in exchange for Cros,, (Dach, Strube, Evanzy and a pick)?
Depending on what happens for the rest of the month of December, Edmonton possibly could be a trading partner with Mtl for Monty. I would rather Monty play the rest of the season in Mtl and let Fowler finish the year in Laval, but if Hughes decides otherwise, I see Edm and Jarry injured as a trading partner.
Thanks for the update, Josh
I do not think Monte will recover from his yipps
I don't believe in Sam, there are way too many holes in his game that haven't been fixed over the years. He is also a goaltender who's stats haven't improved. GAA is more of a team stat, SV% is a stat that combines the two. He has not improved his SV% with less shot, hovering around 90%, now the lowest in his career, and even if he played 45 games from now until the end of the season, this is a decline heading towards an end to his career.
Texier needs to be on pk1 unit period
If I’m not mistaken, Montembeault is already on the active roster, only in Laval on a conditioning stint.
Let’s see what we have with Beck , specially if the face off capability is there
Is Dach hurt again and Laine when will he be back
Monty will eventually be traded if there is some interest. Engstrom will stay. Struble is not here for long. Dach? Laine will be gone. They will not resign him.
Can we trade Monty for Hutsons brother and an AHL goalie from Edmonton?
4 games and already trying to make it sound like Fowler is nothing short of the reincarnation of Jesus Christ himself. Josh, you take the cake as the biggest homer 🤡
Trade Monty…he sucks!!!
Monty is ass trade him send veleno down
While the Has are scuffling with consistency right now, this a pretty deep roster when you add Guhle Evans Newhook Laine and Dach. If they can solidify the goaltending they’ll be a playoff team..
J'ai hâte de voir Blais et Danault.
Again that move was to have a french body out there for the french press. That's all they care about. Monte is on his way out so they needed another french guy.
Funny they let Allen go over Primeau and Monty , Allen got a career like 2.65 versus Monty 3.48 😮
Montemblow lost both games for Laval. End the delusion once and for all – he's DONE.
The Habs have a serious problem now. Three goalers is one too many. They would be totally crazy to trade Fowler: the
kid has shown he could become a superstar in this league, and he can't be sent back to Laval now. Dobès hasn't always been consistent, but he proved he belongs to this league, too. We all know Montembault can be really good, but he's having a horrible season so far. It will be between him and Dobès, but Monty's trade value is probably not very high now. They can't keep three goaltenders until the end of the season, they'll have to move one way or another.
Awesome
People were excited about Dobes the same way they are now about Fowler, so I will not hop on this hype train. Goal-tending has been a voodoo over the last few years for the whole NHL.
I am just happy that they do well now and pray that it continues. I won´t be angry if a pair of young goalies that don´t get paid even a whole 1M don´t carry the team like Bobrovsky.
Those Rose coloured glasses are back, Montembeault is done, last year was a fluke a one of, he’s fundamentally so flawed and two practices won’t fix that!
I think after Xmas Monty needs a fresh start somewhere else. The pressure here might be getting g to him because there’s no way a guy declines this bad from one year to the next! Time to trade him.
Dach should be gone.
Gally, Anderson, Veleno, struble & carrier as well.
Gally can stay for league minimum.
If evans cant keep the puck outve the net every time he's on the ice, he can go too.
Monte will stay until all 25/26 tickets are sold give the people what they want.
