The news of the day for the Montreal Canadiens is undoubtedly the signing of a three-year contract, at just over three million dollars per year, with goaltender Samuel Montembeault.
Since the announcement, many internet users and experts have commented on the amount and duration of the contract, but let's compare it with others.
As we can see here, goalies like Filip Gustavsson, Vitek Vanecek, Alexandar Georgiev, Karel Vejmelka, and Stuart Skinner have contracts similar to the one signed by Monty.
Skinner is 25 years old, Vejmelka 27, Vanecek 27, Gustavsson 25, and Montembeault 27. These are therefore good comparables, and considering that the salary cap will soon rise significantly, and that Montembeault is the one who is signed for the longest, it seems to be a good move by Kent Hughes.
