ParticipantAnd Dobes is playing at about a 105 point season pace.
But sure.
I get it, but it isn’t like the sample size of Dobes’ NHL career was big enough to consider that he’d be able to maintain such a pace… also there is such a thing as the “eye test”, especially for goalies, and I’d argue that the team is probably a bit more confident with Fowler in net.
personally I don’t mind if they decide to send Fowler down if that means he gets to play more in Laval and continues working on his game.

Participantbecause Fowler already looks like a steadier and better-positioned goalie than Dobes, and Monty would need to go through waivers..?

ParticipantDobes has something like 37 starts in the NHL and I think the Habs have gotten points (W or OTL) in 26 of those starts (that is a .638 point percentage).
Not sure why he is the odd-man out.

Participantya but they will need a roster spor son for Evans and Anderson
first one will be Beck but the 2nd one ?
I was gonna say they could send Veleno or Blais to Laval, but in both cases I think they need to go through waivers, so you’re right that they might need to send a goalie down if they don’t want to lose anyone…

it’s possible, although there’s been lots of talk that because of the schedule they’ll keep 3 goalies until the olympic break.

ParticipantMaybe, if they give him extra shifts here and there, he a guy that should play 20-21 mins
oh he can play big minutes for sure, MSL can rely on him for all kinds of situations.
