Montembeault’s Exit Looms for Canadiens | Montreal Canadiens News

Montreal Canadiens goalie Sam Montembeault is reportedly on the verge of becoming the first player traded this season, despite once being a key part of Team Canada’s roster. Signed to a lucrative three-year deal in 2023, Montembeault now finds himself benched as Jakub Dobes and rookie Jacob Fowler outperform him — even earning playoff time. With no trade materializing over the summer and the team needing to shed a goalie, Montembeault could be sent packing via trade or placed on waivers to clear his hefty cap hit, opening doors for future moves.
