## Resource

The Montreal Canadiens have a major decision to make in goal — and it could shape the future of the franchise. On today's episode of The Starr & D'Amico Show, we break down the Canadiens' goaltending situation heading into next season. Should the Habs continue to trust Sam Montembeault, or has the emergence of Jakub Dobes and top prospect Jacob Fowler changed the equation? We debate whether Montreal is better off carrying Montembeault and Dobes at the NHL level while allowing Fowler to continue his development with the Laval Rocket, or if the young phenom has done enough to earn a full-time role as the Canadiens' backup. We also discuss the risks of rushing Fowler, Montembeault's trade value, and what the long-term plan should be for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton. Who gives the Canadiens the best chance to win now — and in the future? 🔵 Should Montembeault stay? ⚪ Is Dobes ready for a bigger role? 🔴 Should Jacob Fowler be in Montreal or Laval? #montrealcanadiens #nhl #hockey Hosted on Acast.
