Waived: Cayden Primeau on waivers (Cleared)

[Goalfield13]

Reading Dobes to start against Panthers? Yeah that's a good plan.

It means they are giving Monty the best chance to get us 2 points against the weaker Tampa team. No pressure on Dobes at all.

 

[Nashy]

The way Dobes plays makes me think he’ll love the challenge. Think he’s got some Mamba mentality there

I like to be a little more grounded but hey if he gets blown up....he's only a rookie, right? Habs development has never been an issue.

Hmm, Tampa has better shooters than Florida. That might be a reason. Florida will just out-work the Habs. Aside from Reinhart, it isn't a shooter's gallery in Florida.

Florida is just an overall better team and a harder W.

It’s a back to back and they’re playing TB the game after. TB’s 6 pts behind the Panthers but have 4 games in hand. They’re both really good teams. It’s a coin flip. But I am pretty pie in the sky lol

As per Engels:
"Montreal will place goaltender Cayden Primeau on waivers on Saturday".

Canadiens To Waive Cayden Primeau

The Montreal Canadiens will place goaltender Cayden Primeau on waivers on Saturday.

Primo had been given plenty if chances, and he made a mess of it............everyone beat him high.
He would have two good periods, and lose it all in the third period.

It was time for waivers....he will clear. No one will want to pay him an NHL salary, in the AHL.

 

[Habs]

He got Fucale’d

If he's picked up on waivers, he has to play on the team.

True but they can always put him on waivers if he doesn't work out. Of course if he clears they would need a place on their AHL team for him.

Bring back the Hamburglar Andrew Hammond!

Does that ever bring back memories.

He was a real nice guy. Had a poignant message to fans, upon his retirement.

But to us, he’ll always be …

However, when he flubbed, we couldn’t let that go unnoticed.

True, but the most inexperienced goaltender vs the least dangerous shooting team makes sense, with or without it being a baptism in fire.

 

[Runner77]

Guess we can add Primeau to our long list of overhyped goaltending prospect busts

McNiven
Hawkeye
Fucale
Tokarski
Dichow

How could we forget Ben Scrivens aha Sievens?

If they put him on waivers we can pick him back up and send him to Laval.

Because we never drafted him? Actually he was never drafted at all.

 

[CHwest]

I imagine he is probably hoping to be picked up and start fresh somewhere else. I wish him well.

 

[Wateredgarden]

Dobes for Primeau... Next we'll see Heineman in the top-6 instead of Newhook? Is this real life?

Not sure what team would want him over their current goalie tandems. What I hope is that he ends up in Laval and gets his game together then starts fresh elsewhere. He is a good kid and I hope he gets his career back on track

Got sidetracked by the post bringing up the Hamburglar.

 

[26Mats]

Primeau is a solid AHL G and should be easier to trade once he clears.

Don't we need him in Laval if Dobes is in Montreal?

Or are you thinking we'll get an NHL backup shortly?

 

[NewDef]

Byron and Monty were good waivers pickups by Bergy.

Kovacevic too

 

[Paddyjack]

Kovacevic too

I would even add Kulak to the list

 

[Fatbiggie]

I would even add Kulak to the list

We got Kulak in a trade if I recall

 

[Runner77]

Correct.

On October 1, 2018, the Flames traded Kulak to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Matt Taormina and Rinat Valiev.

 

[Whitesnake]

I don't know how goalies react to certain situations, and I don't know if we miss out on a talent...but clearly that development wasn't ideal. Hoping that nobody takes him (as it should) and he gets his game back in Laval.
