Montembeault has been very consistent on this point and has never hidden it. He wants to re-sign here, loves Montreal, and hopes it will be resolved soon.
It seems that the caution in this matter is more on the side of Kent Hughes and the Canadiens. They want to make sure they make the right decision and not overpay, apparently.
Montembeault, 27 years old, has played 8 games this season, maintaining a 2.78 average with a 0.908 save percentage. (3 wins - 3 losses - 1 overtime loss)
In his career, he has 36 wins in 111 games, with a 3.44 average and a 0.897 save percentage.
More details will follow.
