After Dan Ellis performed pitifully in South Florida last season, Dale Tallon has gone out and gotten some competition for him, signing Al Montoya to a two-year deal with a cap hit of $1.05 million a year. With Roberto Luongo needing a rest here and there, Montoya does provide the Panthers with a viable backup option, who should be able to come in and do well enough for the team to win games, even without the No. 1 goaltender in net. This was a great signing, as the thought of Ellis getting consistent NHL starts is downright terrifying.
For those questioning his signing…
