Monty playing like he wants to be traded.

unless the habs get an offer they can't refuse, trading him would be a huge mistake imho.

Dach's play on the second line has been solid the last few games.

Only 2/9 in the face-off circle, though.

which won't happen

they don't have anybody they can call up anyway

Primeau is most likely not nhl material

he might not be a starter but it's still too early to say, Montembeault is 26 and he just started playing well...

he's ok to throw out there in a rebuild

I still think that they need to get their starter down the road

oh they'll need to find a goalie for sure, unless Montembeault surprises everyone and starts playing like this consistently, from one game to another...

so far so good

Monty's problem has been a lack of consistency, where he can play this way 10-12 games in a row. We have seen 2-3 games, but not long stretches.

And last year, a really poop defensive team in front of him.

Probably why he is playing like he wants to be traded right now.

so far so good

yeah but as mash pointed out, he would need to do this on a regular basis, which he hasn't done yet. not that it's impossible he does, just that it's far from being a sure thing with what he's shown.

I like this new shtick of yours..

well maybe if they would give him the net more than 33% of time he would. this injury to Allen may finally open the door.

At least til trade deadline.

Then we can go back to the inability to look left (unless a miracle happens).

You never know.

Not gonna look at last season, which was a poopshow from a defensive perspective.

If Monty can go on a run here for a bunch of games and close out the season strong, then maybe we have something.

- fidopro

that's the point, it isn't like he was playing well all the time either lol. anyway right now he's playing better so I'd give him the net, I still wouldn't bet on him becoming a legit #1 NHL starter.

that's my point. what the (frank) do they have to lose trying him out??
if he does well, we may have our starter. if he doesn't, we'll look for a starter next summer or the one after that. but at least try him!
Allen we know we have. he's 32. Montembeault just turned 26, with very few games prior to that. perso I'd go 60-40 Monty-Allen for the remaining games. Allen is a good backup? use him as a backup.
anyway, Monty has been way better than Allen so far this season.

unless there's something we do not know, which is also possible. from day one of camp Monty had to fight. they even gave a pass to Primeau if you remember well.

and in other news, Felix is getting his ass kicked.

Looks like he could at least a good backup for a couple years
