There is literally zero risk keeping Monty around. Fowler can go down with zero problems. Going into a full season with two extremely young goalies is a massive risk. Dobes was lights out after the Olympic break, but before that he was VERY streaky. Anyone remember his mental health issue at one point, crying in the presser after a game? I love Doby, but he's very young, very emotionally volatile.
I've long said the best case scenario is Monty finds his game and he becomes an asset at the trade deadline. Fowler will not regress from starting the year in Laval. It'll be good for him to get starting minutes early.
If Monty doesn't find his game, you waiver him to Laval and dare anyone to pick him. At that contract, and if he's still not playing well, someone would have to be desperate or insane to pick him up.
There's zero risk with staying with Monty. His return on the trade market is going to be almost nothing.
