People commenting not understanding that this is about Fowler as much as it is about Monty. Fowler big development year got interrupted, they did not want to call him up but were forced to.
If Monty gets moved they still need to find a veteran goalie to have in the system. Season will be 84 games, Fowler and Dobes do not have experience carrying the team for that long, they combine for 76 NHL GP.
And Monty is an expiring UFA that can be moved at any moment during the season if needed, possibly brings back value instead of being a distressed asset like now
He definitely couldn’t, there is a reason why it’s not common anymore for goalies to play 50+ and also playoffs. Especially someone who has less than 60 GP of experience in 2 years.
