I'm not certain I get the MTL love here, good young centers, but that D is about to get real old with Weber (signed at 7.8M through his age 41 season as a reminder) and Petry (33 in Dec, signed for 4 years at 6.25 after this season) and I'm not certain 13M+ for the next three seasons for goaltending is ideal. I do like a lot of what they have, I'm more confused by the "if only the Blackhawks had as good of a GM/direction on MTL' when I see a team with 3 long term 6M+ contracts for players in their 30's that I doubt will age well.
As far as the Blackhawks goaltending, I didn't get the Subban re-signing. I think they should have brought back Crow on the 2 year deal, let him be the #1 this year with 55-60 starts, and then do a tandem next year. As a fan I'm hoping the goaltending is surprisingly fine despite seeing it as potentially cratering the team if it's not.
