Big signing by Kent Hughes and the Canadiens: goaltenders Filip Gustavsson, Stuart Skinner, and Vitek Vanacek have contracts similar to Monty

It was a major priority for the organization and it's settled.

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.

Let's compare their numbers.

Montembeault will earn $3.15 million per year. (0.910 efficiency)

Gustavsson earns $3.75 million per year. (0.891 efficiency)

Vanecek earns $3.4 million per year. (0.879 efficiency)

Vejmelka earns $2.7 million per year. (0.892 efficiency)

Skinner earns $2.6 million per year. (0.881 efficiency)

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.

Solid!
