Canadiens' Contracts That No Longer Fit | NHL News
Description
The Montreal Canadiens face tough contract decisions heading into 2026-27, with players like Noah Dobson and Mike Matheson on pricey deals that don’t match their current impact. Josh Anderson and Phillip Danault, both earning $5.5M with one year left, are tough to move despite still contributing. Goalie Sam Montembeault’s $3.15M contract, once seen as a solid 1, now leaves him as a third-stringer — a mismatch for a team chasing a Stanley Cup. These deals underscore the NHL’s razor-thin line between smart signings and costly missteps as the Canadiens pivot from rebuild to contention.
