Player Discussion Cayden Primeau Part II

[LaP]

Uukko Pekka Luukkonnen is a good goalie. Uukko Pekka Luukkonnen has a good frame and is playing well for Buffalo. Uukko Pekka Luukkonnen would look good for the Montreal Canadiens.

I'm on my phone. Process was slightly different from what you stated.

Got'em.

Kudos to Hughes for his patience and how he was able to handle the goalie situation.

I thought we were stuck with Allen's contract and that best move for Primeau was to risk putting him on waivers to try and boost his confidence in the AHL. In the end, everything worked out perfectly for our goalies.

why did you think that would have been the best move over just putting Allen on waivers as there's noting to lose there?

I agree sending Allen down would've made more sense, however given how highly Hughes spoke of Allen's leadership and how good he was in the locker room, I couldn't have pictured him ever sending Allen to Laval.

Nobody talks about this guy anymore. I had to dig this thread from the abyss.

He had some good stats last year and was good in his first exhibition game against Philly.

If Primeau has good season going to make things interesting. With Dobes in the wings and Fowler turning pro late this season.

I don’t think Primeau is an NHL goalie.
Terrible positioning.

He sucks now...

Now you kinda see why Hughes tried to get Askarov

 

[Canadienna]

Can Dobes take his job this year?

I think it's clear who has had the better camp. Not sure if it's worth waiving and likely losing Primeau though.

 

[Naslund]

Primeau is the backup this year, and will be traded next year to make space for Dobes. Fowler will be the #1 in the AHL for a couple of years replacing Dobes.

Dobes is going to be very very good mark my words.

Primeau is a journeyman NHL back up. Which is still fantastic for a 7th round pick. I've always mentioned the hitch in his Lateral movements which really hasn't smoothened out enough at the pro level.

Athletically he's pretty average. He needs to be able to read the play at a high level and I just haven't seen that consistently.

The PK wasn't great but man he wasn't really in the right area code for any of it.
