   Looks like somebody else is about to exit the goalie carousel.

   I think Montembeault has earned this based on his play thus far. Plus, I’m sure management is happy to have at least one French Canadian player signed medium term.

   Good signing all around! Terms solid as is the AAV. Big congrats Monty!

   That’s one hell of a W

   Monty has honestly been awesome since the waiver pickup, good signing!!!

5. slafyousilly 10 mois ago

   That’s reasonable

6. RyanWalts 10 mois ago

   Totally reasonable, very happy with this one. He’s earned it with his play.

   Like the contract.

   3 years is a good length for Montembeault, and being in the range, but still less than Allen feels right.

   The length and AAV is low enough that even if he regresses, the contract shouldn’t be much of an issue on the books.

   Now that they’ve committed to Montembeault, the next obvious question is what to do with Primeau/Allen, as having a trio of goalies doesn’t make much sense with Montembeault no longer on the trade block.

    Good stuff. Hopefully the habs fans on twitter can shut up about trading him.

    No issues with this at all. Easy cap hit to absorb if they decide to go a different route on the starter for some reason. Now they need to figure out the back up situation and stop carrying three goalies.

    Well deserved and very reasonable I’d say. Win for the team and for him. I guess one of the other ‘minders is getting off Kent Hughes’ Wild Ride soon.

    OMG I’m actually so happy about this news. I love Monty 🥹

    Still think hes a 1B type of goalie, but 3 mill during a rebuild is peanuts. He’ll be 30+ once the rebuild and this deal are ending and we can move on from him then.

    3.15 is good. I was worried it would be around 4.

19. Woullie_26 10 mois ago

    That’s a W for him but I’m not sure how that fits the team plan for the future.

    He’s gonna be due for another contract once we’re competitive and also Fowler will mostly take over as Goalie 1.

    Is he a place holder?

    Also there isn’t any protections so he can be traded at any time

    Reasonable

    Holy shit that’s such a good contract. When you look at Allen’s contract (so on the same team), he’s less paid and younger. Plus next season his cap hit is 30th in the league (behind Georgiev, what a steal), and there’s no way 29 goalies are better than him

22. simonlegosu 10 mois ago

    Let’s go!!!!

23. PKG0D 10 mois ago

    Great term, solid AAV.

24. Ill_Association5736 10 mois ago

    That is a great deal!

25. Inzipid 10 mois ago

    Sam Montembault is a Montreal Canadien! 

26. ZukesFan14 10 mois ago

    Can’t believe we got him on waivers, what an amazing story

27. TamedDawn 10 mois ago

    Monty’s earned it, steadily improving every year

    Great contract. Think we got a bit of a hometown discount here, there’s a lot of goalies that are noticeably inferior to Monty that are making a lot more money. You just love to see it.

29. bathbwoi 10 mois ago

    Love to see it, Montembault had to get it out the mud to get this contract, good on him and good on the org rewarding him with one.

30. Le8ronJames 10 mois ago

    AMAZING contract. If he’s really a #1 that’s awesome and if he ends up a #2 it’s not too crazy.

    I guess Allen is gone now.

31. Bohmer 10 mois ago

    Great deal! OMG

32. bluAstrid 10 mois ago

    Un beau montant pour Montembeault!

33. dangeezer 10 mois ago

    Now we need to move Allen. Or buying him out after in the off season.

34. Matiabcx 10 mois ago

    Awesome deal and im really rooting for Monty

35. dawnofthedunk_ 10 mois ago

    Yeah that’s fine. Nothing to be overly excited about. Market value, no discounts. Good contract for a good goalie.

    Nice contract. Goods stuff.

    Monty is quickly falling into the second tier favorite goalies.

    Halak, huet, Theodore, moog, Thibault.

    Loved you all, now it’s Monty’s turn.

    Please don’t bring up our longterm goalie relationships. It’s still to soon to talk about.
