I think there is no doubt that Montour is an upgrade on our blue line.
I think the contract is… fine. It’s what a player like this costs, especially because we grabbed him days after winning a cup, which means his value was at an all-time high. The AAV is fair, and the term is a little long, but that’s what it takes to sign a player like this – particularly when you want to bring him to a team that isn’t already poised to make a run for the cup.
So yeah, a solid B signing in my opinion. Would have loved to see RF make a deal that left us all with our jaws on the floor, but that’s not always possible.
