Waive Niemi, trade Montoya at the tdl.
Price and Lindgren will split the games 50-50 for the remainder of the season

Where does he fit in the AHL? Don’t exactly want him there. Would rather we develop young guys. Then again, a team may claim him for a 4th time.

Are you embracing the tank?
If so , Antti Niemi stays in Montreal
Price gets injured again(shut down)
The march down to top 5 lotto pick begins officially.

Niemi goes away end of year....Lindgren given chance as back up 2018-19

Trade Montoya for a late pick or whatever you can get for him, maybe Chicago would want him since Forsberg sucks and Crawford is hurt.

Hopefully Niemi will start playing like the Pittsburgh/Florida Niemi soon lol.

If Price so much as sneezes I want him shut down for the year.

Let Lindgren develop in the AHL for now, why put him in this shit show...even Price is probably regretting signing that overpaid contract right now lol, this team is f***ing awful.

LOL....why are we worried about a backup goalie with Price playing so horrible?

Somebody who sits on the bench should be the least of our concerns right now....you could put Youppi there for all i care

Trade Montoya now, I think we can get a late pick for him.

Try to build Niemi’s value and see if we can trade him at the deadline for a late pick.
