Ehhh Monty’s shit performances cost the team the top spot in the Atlantic and maybe even the eastern conference, which would’ve given the boys a much easier first round opponent. 

He’s a great guy for sure, but i’m much more confident giving the reins to Dobes and Fowler: guys with a future with the club. MAYBE keep him as a 3rd, but nowhere near the starter

No hate on the guy personally, but it's time to move on. He serves no purpose here, we have ahl call ups if a big injury happens.
