Habs sign Dobes 3yrs @ $5.357M AAV

It’s his job to lose now. I fully expected Fowler to take the starters role by playoffs. Dobes didn’t let that happen. Seems a bit high but not outrageous as cap increases.
 
He's put up 2 good ones. I believe in him.

I know Sal thinks Fowler is the next coming of Price.....but Dobes's size (vs Fowler's size) helps his case

He made some saves during playoffs that i doubt Fowler would have made due to his smaller size

Sample size is still kinda small, but i guess management thought if he continues his good work into first half of 2026-2027, he would cost north of 7M instead of 5M for 3 yrs
 
Modern play is that even if you trust someone else, you need 2 goalies who are capable of playing 35+ games, and then you just ride the hot hand into the playoffs.
