That's a good approach.

If you feel Montembeault is ready to be a starter we could trade both I guess but I personally don’t see him as an NHL goalie

i don't see Montembault as a starter. I just don't particularly care how we do short term - in fact I want us to be in the Bedard derby, plus to maximize the amount of draft picks and prospects we get from trading vets.

Having said that, I do realize it's important to have good goaltending when developing young players, and good vet dmen to mentor the young apprentice D. They say it takes a few years for young dmen to serve as apprentices before they truly come into their own.

But what did you have to give up to move Clarkson's? And was he on LTIR at that point?

From what I remember CBJ made a mistake on Horton going on LTIR so they had to pay his salary and not play him
so 1-1 trade basically Clarkson for money
