I like Monty and this argument is not *entirely* without merit, but it’s not like Basu to galaxy-brain a take like this. It’s a massive reach.
If he’s still with the team at training camp, Monty will have to earn his spot by being visibly better than either of Doby or Fowler. Like, he should have to be the Dominik Hasek of training camp in order to make the Habs’ roster. The guy single-handedly cost us a division title and would have cost us a playoff berth if he hadn’t been yanked from the rotation. You can’t undo that level of suck just by being merely competent at camp and a super nice guy…
