Montembeault vs Dobes vs Fowler: Who Stays?

Three goalies. Two roster spots. And a front office that has already had the hard conversation with the guy on the outside looking in. Montembeault knows the leash is short, Dobes just walked off a playoff run nobody expected, and Fowler is still waiting for his real shot. You'll learn: why Montembeault's trade value keeps slipping, why Dobes might get the bulk of the starts heading into next season, and what sending Fowler back to Laval would actually accomplish for his development. This isn't a simple two-man battle, it's a three-way chess match where every move affects the other two, and management has to get the timing right or they risk losing a goalie for nothing in return. The math is brutal. Montembeault going in a vacuum gets you nothing back, but as part of a bigger package aimed at a defenseman or a winger, suddenly he's useful again, and that changes the entire offseason calculus. Dobes earned more run after the way his season ended, but burying Fowler in a 50-50 split with no real games played isn't smart asset management either. Whichever way this goaltending situation breaks, it's going to define how this team is built for the next two years, and the front office knows it.
