The Montreal Canadiens are in no hurry to move goaltender Samuel Montembeault despite a crowded netminding situation, according to recent NHL rumors. The team currently carries multiple goaltenders on its roster, creating a logjam that has sparked trade speculation around the 27-year-old Quebec native.
Montembeault, who signed a three-year contract extension with Montreal in 2023, has shown promise when given playing time. The Canadiens' front office appears willing to carry the depth into the season rather than force a deal that may not return adequate value.
