Believe it or not, there will be a battle at the Montreal Canadiens’ 2025 training camp for the backup goalie spot behind Samuel Montembeault.
A few years ago, Kahkonen was even viewed as a potential No. 1 goaltender in the NHL.
Listening to the Canadiens’ goaltending coach, it’s clear that Dobes holds a solid lead over Kahkonen-and that, at least for now, the job is his to lose.
It will be up to young Jakub Dobes to hold onto that spot!
“In answering a question, Raymond hinted that Kahkonen is the type of experienced player who could support Jacob Fowler in Laval.”

Raymond clearly sees major potential in Jakub Dobes, as shown by the tone of his responses.
It will still be a situation to monitor this September, but for Dobes, hearing this kind of endorsement is definitely reassuring.
