Someone will take him

I doubt it. Why would a team take the worst goalie in the NHL?

Because there's always someone that thinks they can fix him and the league loves exhab goalies.

Sure no risk , needs an easier market
Good on Lingren for working out with the Caps

We'll see, the main issue is that they have to keep him on the roster.

agreed although there is always some GM full of hubris who thinks he can save x player

 

[Habsy]

Possibilities

Nashville
Colorado
Utah
Carolina (Tokarski current back up)
Buffalo
Chicago
Philly

5 of those teams have backups that can be sent down without waivers

Philly

And then the Habs can choose if they want him again when he goes on waivers

Nashville and Colorado just traded goalies together and can't send anyone without waivers so highly doubtful.

Utah's goalies are doing well, so no. Not a big issue in Chicago either.

I don't see Carolina in a position to be patient with a backup.

Philly and Buffalo maybe.

We missed out on re-acquiring Noah Juulsen

To help with the tank. I hope he gets taken. Turn that page.

Pretty sure him being in the org is more helpful for the tank.

Likely dealt at deadline or UFA this summer - don't see the Habs making a QO to retain him.

Probably depends on how he finishes the year in Laval.

Goalies are weird

 

[Sal_Butera]

I’d offer up Primeau + 2nd rounder to Buf for Levi and let him grow in Laval for a bit

 

[Habsy]

Doubt Buf does that

 

[wiseguy1]

Maybe Dobes and Fowler are the tandem duo of the future anyway

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Maybe. I don't see Monty as anything more than a stop gap. He isn't a long term solution to anything

 

[Krustchev]

Unlikely. It’ll be Fowler and a veteran,
