## Resource

Sam Montembeault’s prime may be slipping, but his value is undervalued — and the Oilers are watching. After a rough 2023-24 season with Montreal, where he fell off the depth chart and posted a career-low save percentage, Montembeault’s future looks uncertain in Quebec. But don’t write him off: his prior three seasons were stellar, ranking among the league’s best in goals saved above expected, even with a weak Canadiens defense. A brutal early stretch and lingering injury may have derailed him, but his underlying numbers still suggest he’s a solid starter — not a backup. With one year left on his $3.15M deal, the Oilers are reportedly interested, though fitting him into their goalie-heavy cap situation could be tricky. This might be the perfect “buy low” moment for a team looking for a reliable netminder. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
