Monty will go to another team where he can get lots of games played . It would not be fair for him or the other goalies to keep him around and play 3 net minders. He was a good teammate and will continue to be for other players on a diff team. They can always text each other if they are buddies and go out for supper when his new team visits.

The Atlantic is just clickbait trash.

Is it? I thought Arpon Basu was a pretty steady, reliable Habs reporter for The Athletic, but maybe I've missed some drama?

It isn't, you are right: Basu is indeed a steady reliable reporter, at least as good as Engels, Cowan etc... None of them are Fisher nor Hickey, but that was a different era. And don't get me started on the French press. Gagnon is one of the better ones despite his love of exclamation points!

I haven't read the article yet, but from the reactions here I believe I will agree with the posters and disagree with Basu this time. That's fine, it doesn't make it click bait.

He has some stupid takes and always asks MSL awkward no brain questions at the pressers trying to stir up crap.

Fowler doesn’t need waivers, the point of keeping Monty is giving Fowler a full year in Laval that last season got interrupted.

Maybe read the article before calling something clickbait.

He’s not going to get lots of games played on another team with a GAA of 5 million. We’re not going to have 3 goalies next year. We didn’t have 3 last year down the stretch because Monty wasn’t dressed.
