If he trades Risto, that is 100% my cue to abandon season tickets next year. I fully expect it to happen though because idiot boy only trades the players I want to keep in exchange for players that will be on another team within 2 years.

I thought you officially abandon this team a couple years ago?

Ooh, a "Team Montour" member. 

Team Montour is fine: nfreeman, Flagg I guess?, darksabre?, ... ? 
Team Montour sucks: most other posters 

He doesn't suck, but you'd have to do some work to convince me he's a top-4 guy on a good team unless you're structured with a prime Keith-Seabrook style pair where you're really a top-2 bottom-4 setup.

Funny, trading Risto would me by cue to believe in the team's direction ?

How much is Botteril going o overpay Montour in his next contract?   He's already wasted a first round pick and a good prospect on him.   I'm worried were about to see another Skinner contract coming.

Im a bit surprised by the growing anti-Montour sentiment.

He has a bit more flash than substance, but he skates really well, moves the puck, competes well enough and tends to contribute to more goals for us than goals for them.

One of the few Botterill additions that does more than take up space.

What about that season with the Ducks? 22 mins in a WCF run, Fowler, Lindholm, Manson the other guys?

I like Montour.  He's an outstanding skater, has good hockey IQ, can play in every situation and is on a steady improvement arc IMHO.  I think perhaps for some posters he's tainted by association with JB and the over-weighting of defensemen on the roster, but I think he'll prove out to be a very good player.

Team middle ground: Swamp, True, freester
Team Montour sucks: inkman, so many posters in random GDTs that I just can't remember who said what, but I swear there are a lot of 'em

Meh. Once upon a time, Andrew Hammond looked like the second coming of Hasek for a similar stretch of games. Brian Bickell was a clutch playoff hero. 

Montour is fine, I certainly don't hate him. But he's pretty expendable for me.

I don't think Montour sucks, rather he is a solid bottom 4 defensemen.  I feel like Botteril overpaid to acquire Montour, and he is not much better than Guhle.  We are also overstocked at RD and I think Botteril is going to overpay Montour on his new contract.

Sekera... now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. (Except earlier this year when we played against him and I remembered him.)

I'm still of the Lydman/Montour mindset, that if we get the right partner (his inner Tallinder) for him, Montour becomes a truly good #2 guy. And he's a top-4 if he just plays with whomever. So general @Randall Flagg, count me in as a Team Montour.

Guhle can't crack the lineup as a regular on a bad team. Montour is considerably better.

You're thinking of the 4th time he did it, this would be 13 I think

And I'll keep abandoning it GDamnit. The only reason I MIGHT come back next year is the royal blue jersey.....and if they find a #2 Center, and another top 6 winger..................and a goalie..........................and if they install a LLoyds at the arena. ONLY THEN!!!!

It's funny, because Montour seems to work okay with Risto.

It's an irreplacable role, you do it better than anyone!

God, I hope Lloyd’s never comes to the arena…  It’s just not that good. In my opinion

Mighty taco?… Now we’re talking!

He's still young and will get better.    Hope they keep him.

Lol, you think a 25 year old player with over 200 nhl games is going to "get better" to any worthwhile degree.  Lol sure. 

Oh he'll be 26 in april. Even better. Wish Reinhart had his magical powers of improvement. Oh well.
