Going back to 2004 I liked the Montoya pick. Leading up to the draft Olesz was the guy I wanted the Rangers to pick (I'd still love to see him land on Broadway) but I understood the Montoya selection. I understood it because at that moment I knew Blackburns career was probably over. If Blackburn doesn't get a fluke injury the Rangers probably grab Olesz or Stafford and the Blackburn Lundqvist scenario plays out....Anyway...Flash forward to this season and Montoya when healthy has been very uneven. I think if Lundqvist bombs tonight against Montreal it's very possible Montoya is recalled to get a game this upcoming week.
Renney and Gordie Clarke talked about it during training camp as a possibility. (I'm sure not under these circumstances.) Montoya has nothing left to prove at the AHL level which is I why I think his play has suffered. Lundqvist needs to clear his head and perhaps some competition snaps him out of his funk.
