Montembault was already publically endorsed by Hughes as part of the future so I don't see him going anywhere

The Habs have a lot of interesting decisions on goalies this off season.(ages in 2023) Montembault(27) has another year left at 1M AAV then UFA Allen(33) has two more years left at 3.85M then UFA Primeau(24) has two more years at 890K and loses waiver exemption in 23-24 Dobes(22) just signed for 2 years at 925K(80k AHL) and likely splits time in Laval. Poulin(33) was on an AHL deal playing 27 games for Laval. Vrbetic(21) was playing on an AHL deal and needs an ELC by June 1 or he is FA. Dichow(22) was playing in the Swedish League and needs an ELC by June 1 or he is FA. I would like to see them trade one of Allen or Monty and have Primeau get 30 NHL games, then sign a veteran to split time with Dobes, Ideally an NHL deal so they don't yoyo Dobes every time a goalie in the NHL is banged up like they have done with Primeau. I would sign one of Dichow or Vrbetic to start in ECHL and get AHL games. Not sure what they should do ... going into next season with a tandem of Montembeault and Primeau would seem risky ... but not sure I would be ready to cut bait with Monty just yet ... but with Primeau out of options a decision likely needs to be made - one of Allen/Monty/Primeau will need to go. Agree that they need a #3 who can bounce between AHL and NHL - leave Dobes alone in the AHL - maybe he even starts out in the ECHL - that is not that uncommon for goalies. Part of the equation is, do you see Monty as a future #1 or just a back up long term. If you think he will be a quality back up at best then move him if he is worth more than JA, use Allen as a more veteran mentor. With the cap being flat, Monty at 1M should have good trade value after the numbers he has on a shitty/injured team. There was also talk of trading for a young up and coming goalie(Hart/Askarov etc), this would change the landscape.

I was going to say something similar ... of course Hughes is going to play up Monty's value ... perhaps because he really feels that way ... or perhaps because he is looking to maintain his trade value.

What a sweet pass by Drouin on Gallys goal.
That's it. Sign him for $2.5 one year deal.
😆😆

Forwards Jesse Ylonen and Rafael Harvey-Pinard, as well as defenseman Corey Schueneman and goaltender Cayden Primeau will join Jean-François Houle's contingent.

Richard with 3G and 2A Pinard with 5A and Primeau 39/42. last game is Friday vs Syracuse at home. 4th Utica 76pts in 70 games 5th Laval 74pts in 71 games 6th Cleveland 71 pts in 69 games(they play a 3 in 3 on the weekend)

So 28th it is, gives them 17.3% chance at #1 or 2, either would be great.
Ideally they are top 5, but only 24.5% chance of staying at #5...that would guarantee Smith or Michkov assuming Carlsson, fantilli and Bedard are gone.
Benson would be a nice fallback at #6...44.2% chance
The next drop off appears to be from 6-7, their odds of 7th is 13.9%...you get into Moore Leonard Barlow and Yeager tier.
