for braces..?? tabarnaaaaak. - Pat1993
Yeah, insurances pays for 1200$, plus we split the bill with my gf's ex. Softens the blow a little but if I see her biting into a (frank)ing apple I'm going mental

I'm not convinced he gets 10M over 3 years.
4 years, 10M would be great imo. - Scabeh
yeah, he doesn't quite have the numbers of the comparables that are being mentioned... I think it's safe to say he's better than what his numbers might indicate but that doesn't really give him a whole lot of leverage for his contract negotiations.

I don't see why he shouldn't get at least as much as Allen

so the team should replicate the same "problem" with him? very sound logic there lol - Pat1993
it's the same thing all around the league Pat. players compare themselves with others, especially team mates (see Matthews Tavares.....)
if Habs pay Allen 3.8M, no reason for Monty to take anything less, especially if he has another good season next year.
yes, this is a bad contract for a backup, almost impossible to trade imo, that is on Hughes.

thing is though Allen has played around 4 times as many NHL games as Montembeault, I don't think they're direct comparables anyway... also I still disagree with your assessment that Allen is completely untradeable, he isn't a cap anchor or anything, you're overblowing it imho.

it's a bit much if a team is looking for a back up goalie, but yeah, he is making this a bigger deal than it is
mtl can live with that contract if they want to anyway or they could retain some of that cap hit if they want to trade him.
maybe they will trade or let go Primeau instead, even if I would rather see him getting one last chance as mtl back up next season.

I'm very curious to see what they decide to do in Primeau's case, I wish the Rocket would've had a deep playoff run and see how it goes for him but they got eliminated in a best of 3, which (frank)ing sucks as a series format lol.
