[All Star John Scott]

You misspelt Allen pretty badly

 

[NobleSix]

Cool.

 

[Redux91]

THREE years at under 1M lol
Amazing honestly
You wonder why Primeau even does it at age 23 but hey we'll take it lol

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

So, someone is gone, or hurt ?

This signing doesn't mean anything other than Primeau and Kevin Poulin will be the goalies in Laval.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

No one is hurt or gone. Cayden will be in Laval with Kevin Poulin.

Ahh he doesn't need waivers yet?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Ahh he doesn't need waivers yet?

He has 1 year or 56 NHL games before he requires waivers. At this moment, he is waiver exempt.

 

[Hacketts]

How does waivers work with him?

Alright love this deal even more.

Mainly cause I actually like Monty and think, all things considered he did alright

 

[Adam Michaels]

And with this, every RFA is dealt with.

Carey Price

 

[Adam Michaels]

How does waivers work with him?

He is waiver exempt right now.

He has 1 year or 56 NHL games before he requires waivers.

So basically, next year, he will need to go through waivers. However, IF he ends up playing 56 NHL games this year, then he will need to go through waivers this year as soon as those 56 NHL games pass (he doesn't need to technically play the game. If he is dressed as the back up, that counts as an NHL game).

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Good deal all around, especially if he's a regular in the NHL next season, he'll be super cheap. Hopefully this will give him a big boost of confidence and he'll have his best season yet with Laval in 22-23.

 

[Adam Michaels]

So now with everyone under contract, the goalies at the 3 levels should be:

Montreal: Allen & Montembeault
Laval: Primeau & Poulin
3R: Desrosiers & Vrbetic

 

[Tyson]

Cayden had a terrific playoff run a few months back erasing a nightmare regular season.
No young goalie was going to play behind such a horrible team and not struggle.

His rebound control has really improved but he still needs to get better at handling the puck which often times has created some real adventures in the D zone.

Hopefully he is kept in Laval this entire season.

 

[That Habs Fan]

Signings like this one and the Dach one make me wonder how differently Subban/Markov/Radulov would have been treated by Hughes/Gorton.

Man, it's hard to forgive Molson for hiring Bergevin and keeping him around so long.

 

[Tyson]

You misspelt Allen pretty badly

Is misspelt a word?

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

great contract

Well, Markov and Radulov were UFAs, I don't think we really know how they'd deal with them considering they haven't really signed any yet.

 

[All Star John Scott]

Is misspelt a word?

Yea it's more British spelling though

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

just imagine how bad it would be, if this is the goalie extension Weekes heard about and just not the right guy

 

[Justsayin]

Yea it's more British spelling though

Not Linus' sister?

So now with everyone under contract, the goalies at the 3 levels should be:

Montreal: Allen & Montembeault
Laval: Primeau & Poulin
3R: Desrosiers & Vrbetic

I still believe that they will either send Montembault to Laval and grab a goalie off waivers to back-up Allen, or acquire an experienced goalie for Laval who has cleared waivers. They will probably have to do that to avoid Primeau being an injury call-up. Poulin is not even under contract with the team, and neither are the other two.

The othes are under contract. They don't have to be on an NHL deal to be part of the organization and have spots in Laval and 3R.

Also, I don't see them claim a goalie off waivers just to pick them up. If the timing syncs up at having an injury and then a goalie goes on waivers, then I see them do it (similar to how Monty went on waivers when Habs knew Price was not returning).

But if the timing doesn't sync up, then they can't claim a goalie off waivers if there isn't one there. If someone gets hurt, then they'll look at the market similarly to how they got Andrew Hammond last year.
