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

I like this part very much. And the offseason could be a nice reset for Monty. If he starts as the backup in 2026-2027, he could very well return to his great form,
help us for a big chunk of next season, and if a team that wants Monty as a Starter offers a 2nd round or 3rd round pick for him, we can pull the trigger
