That's why Montreal got Jake Allen. Not to challenge Price for the #1.

Really don't think there is a tremendous amount of difference between domingue and rittich at the end of the day. Rittich has a penchant for melting down. His highs are higher but his lows are lower. He collapses at exactly the wrong time each year he's played. They could just sign another league average depth goalie and trade Rittich and be no worse off imo. Then they might be able to get mangi on a 5 year deal or something.
