The expression you can never have too many defenders came into its own last year. It could even have been applied to forwards and goalkeepers, given the number of injuries the Habs suffered. The off-season is the perfect time to stock up on depth, and Kent Hughes certainly has his work cut out for him this summer. The goaltending situation is the talk of the town. Jake Allen is injured more and more often, and Cayden Primeau isn't ready to move up to the next level. For these reasons, fans were very nervous about the idea of bringing Carter Hart to Philadelphia. Fans see Hart as the team's number-one goaltender of the future, to which Mathias Brunet reacted strongly: <q>We always like goalies who are elsewhere. Hart is 24 and hasn't had a great start to his career, and there you have Samuel Montembeault, who had a good season under the circumstances. He had a great World Championship, but I think Montembeault is very underrated, he's the number one goalie. - Mathias Brunet</q> <blockquote class=twitter-tweet><p lang=fr dir=ltr>While some are hoping to see the Habs get their hands on Carter Hart, that's not the case for <a href=https://twitter.com/mathiasbrunet?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>@mathiasbrunet</a>. 🔵⚪️🔴<br><br>To hear the full column with Paul Houde: <a href=https://t.co/4bZS3W0TGb>https://t.co/4bZS3W0TGb</a> <a href=https://t.co/MMThUJKguW>pic.twitter.com/MMThUJKguW</a>- BPM Sports (@BPMSportsRadio) <a href=https://twitter.com/BPMSportsRadio/status/1666193425874444308?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>June 6, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js charset=utf-8> We have to agree with the journalist. Montembeault has proven that he deserves at least a chance to be the man to trust night after night.
