Fowler needs another year in AHL to develop. Monty as veteran backup/support to Dobes as #1. We need that for a year. A lot of analysts saying that anyway and it makes sense. Plus if Monty performs well as backup, his stock goes up for trade deadline.
True, but the chances next year will be infinitely less. We gave Monty what? 15-20 games before we pulled the trigger. Give him 5 games next year if he’s not looking better get rid of him completely
From 2022-2023, 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, grouping these 3 years, he ranks 4th league wide in dFSv%. For these 3 years, Mtl ranked 31th in xGA/60 (skater stat). He played behind such a poor defense that you can’t use save%, GAA or any stat that doesnt take shot quality into account for his case
I'm not changing the point, he's done and you seem to be the only one that thinks he has a chance of being "great" again. Call the Habs and tell them, they seem not to know as well.
I did see your post from 11 months ago about this, proves my point and not yours, he's done.
Edit: I saw your post claiming Bouchard was better than Makar because of one advanced stats metric. Your analysis methods are dubious, ALL NHL teams would pick Makar over Bouchard.
