Dobes > Primeau

Dobes > Primeau

I think that will become more evident soon

I think that will become more evident soon

Could Dobes be our mid-season "Binnington addition", combined with the Laine return and allow us to go on a run (playoff run, not Cup run, LOL)?

And then Demidov joins the team end of March?

Can we dream?

 

[HuGort]

I’m not sure if they should even worry if Primeau is picked up on waivers. He is so replaceable via a UFA signing.

That's just going in a circle

It kind of is but if Dobes is better than I have no problem exposing Pri to waivers

Lose him, bring up Dobes.

Sign a UFA for Laval and wait for Fowler.

Primeau is a very weak NHL goalie.

Not really.

If Primeau has not upside beyond being a journeyman back-up but Dobes could potentially be your starter, you gotta get Dobes in the net at the NHL level at some point.

Primeau requires waivers, so you sign a AHL vet who can be your 3rd goalie.. tons of teams have those.

Not gonna keep Dobes stuck in the AHL because of Primeau's waiver status. Primeau just doesn't have starter ability.

Why not just wait for a team to have many goalie injuries and offer them Primeau for a 4th or 5th round pick and call Dobes up. Dobes can start in the AHL it's not a problem.
