3-goalie system is without a doubt helping the team, which is reliant on G performing at or above expectations to achieve successOne of the issues with the three goalie system is that you can't assess anyone properly because you don't end up giving the ball to anyone to see how they run with it.
Goalies are hard enough to figure out on a year to year basis, let alone a random start basis in the same year.
I'm sure all three guys are good teammates, but deep down, I'd also bet they are all pissed off at this situation.
So the three goalie system doesn't help anybody involved. If the Habs are struggling to figure out which road to take.... Time is up. It's time to come to a decision, and then you can get back to trying to get a more reasonable assessment on what you have in net, and go from there.
Allen’s historical trend has shown a borderline elite G when limited to fewer than 36GP, this 3G system allows for such a scenario.
Now add to it competition factor: Montembeault

This was a very smart calculated move by HuGo to both avoid losing an asset for nothing to show via waivers, and potentially maximize return to the team with on ice performance at present and via acquisition return as deadline approaches
