I'm not sure what he's worth salary wise, but I'd be very reluctant to go longer than 2 years. I feel either Primeau will grab the spot, or it's easy to get a better goalie on the UFA market pretty much every year. Down the road we have Dobes and Fowler coming up.

I do Three bullets.
I mean... what? Lol
But yes this is the point, you sign Monty until Fowler shows he's ready and THE guy

He has never played over 40 games but he's our "starter" and we should extend him.
Man, the bar is set low as f***. Dude is playing for 0.900 every freakin' year. Let's make him our french Martin Jones I guess.

Who are the better goalies that have been avalable as UFAs in each of the past 3 years, and who we can safely say would want to sign on a rebuilding team, I e. A short term losing team?

Makes no sense. “Hasn’t proven anything but if could get a first”? Why would you think he’d get a first as an unproven goalie?
He has proven he is a good NHL goalie.

He will improve a little bit and be at his best at 29 y. He'll become a good goalie until he will be 33.
On the other hand, Allen shows warning signs like he lost a lot. And Primeau is finally developping into something.
Yeah I think moving forward with Montembeault and Primeau is the way to go until one of our prospects hopefully pan out.
When Monty is in net I actually am more at ease than when Allen starts.
But Allen is better for the rebuild.
Althought, Primeau might end up excellent if he mentally crumble too.
Instilling a winning attitude in our young players is also a big part of the rebuild.But Allen is better for the rebuild.

Sometimes Monty is in the net and I'm confused one second I think Price is in the net. Monty have this big "presence" sometimes.
The one thing about Monty that is underrated is his puck handling skills. He really is a good goalie.
Because unproven to one GM is not necessarily unproven to another (especially with goalies). And Edmonton, for example, should be desperate sooner than later.
The point was that if they can get a 1st from a team that might not make the playoffs they should probably do it if they can't get anything for Allen. For example a 2nd and Monty for Edmonton's 1st.

I get your point, and certainly wouldn’t rule out that other teams want him, but he’s more valuable to us compared to what they’d get in a trade. No way someone is giving up a first. I’m not even sure if a goalie ever fetched a first.

Last one that I remember was Schneider to NJ for the 9th OA but of course Schneider had a lot more of a track record then Montembeault. Generally goalies don't give great returns but it's always about how desperate the other team is.

I have to say with all these contract rumours, I hear people talking 3.5mil+ 4 years etc.
It's crazy to me. I don't think he'd get that as a UFA.
I'm still not a total believer. I probably won't be until the expected stats convert to realized stats.
I'd have to look at the comparables and stuff but something like 2.75m x 3 years would seem fair to me.

We heard they were working on an extension, and since then, nothing?
2.75 X 2 years? This is what I would offer.............any news on this front at all guys?

That's the same deal Vejmelka got in 21-22, as an arbitraiton-eligible RFA, in a (very slightly) lower cap environment, with even LESS of a track record.
