NEGOTIATIONS: major statement involving star goaltender Jake Oettinger and Samuel Montembeault of the Montreal Canadiens
Among the hot topics currently surrounding the Montreal Canadiens is the future of Samuel Montembeault within the organization.
As reported by Cédrick Gervais from Marqueur.com, it seems that negotiations have been initiated by his agent, Paul Corbeil, and Kent Hughes regarding a contract extension, rumors that were confirmed by journalist Arpon Basu, who covers the activities of the CH for The Athletic.
The Quebec goaltender will be a free agent on July 1st and it is highly likely that he will be one of the most sought-after goaltenders on the market if he continues to deliver solid performances as he has since last season.
That said, on BPM Sports, Georges Laraque and Tony Marinaro had a discussion on this subject, and here are their comments:
This would be a contract almost identical to that of star goaltender Jake Oettinger of the Dallas Stars.
These are quite interesting comments from both men, and we can expect that Montembeault will not sign a deal for less than an annual salary of 4 or 5 million dollars per season.
