Time has come. Waivers and maybe someone takes him.

If not, off to Laval.

Yup, i personally get to the point its not even fair to his teammates anymore. Its like when you work a job and you have that one lazy as f employees who makes everyone else work harder.

You go on the ice knowing you will lose with him playing. How deflating it must be

or 3R for all I care, don't ever play that guy anymore.
Yup, pretty much... next step is to send him down to Laval for Dobes. Goalies in todays NHL are a dime a dozen of mediocrity, unless they are generational. Fingers crossed of Fowler.

It's almost akin to house league hockey.. it's Turd's rotation, do you ur best.

What people don't realize is 90% of goalies are taught the percentage game now to cover angles.. everything is mechanical.. only those goalies who are capable of getting creative AFTER the 90% probability will become useful.
Primeau is total textbook. Boring and predictable.. hence why he is struggling.. similar to the myriad middling forward prospects; yeah you got speed, but do you have IQ?

NHL is becoming more like NFL.. the playbooks are set.. strategies are set.. players need to rise above the obvious, to perpetuate the unpredictability, otherwise they are useless.

He ranks 75th in the NHL in save percentage.

There are only four goaltenders with a worst save percentage that have appeared in a game this year. But of course none of those disasters have played ten games. In fact, three of them have only played one game.

He also ranks 75th in the NHL this season in goals against.

Enough is enough. It's over for Primeau. Pack your shit and go.

I still can't even believe he wasn't waived after his *last* game before today

Listen, we tried, he tried, it just didn't work
It's all good, just move on
I was hopeful for him coming into this year but like the rest of the team he’s underperformed. I think most of us just see it as an auto-loss now when we know he’s in net.

No hurry to dump him. We’re not making the playoffs so it doesn’t matter. But the moment Fowler is ready this guy’s gone.

At this point, it's looking hard to justify him being back next season in Montreal.

I'd be shocked if the gabs didn't add a veteran back up this summer unless they are 100% sure Dobes is ready to play 25+ games at a high level next year

Primeau will go elsewhere and become the next Charlie Lindgren.

I would get Hughes up from Laval. He is a vet goalie and seems quite solid.

Only 70 spots open in the league & that ain't it Cayden.
I've been done for awhile with him. He's Malcolm Subban at best.
Those goalies at his level come & go. They go throught 5-6 teams for peanuts.
They go throught a good streak of 10 games and then fail further.
Loose one, pick one, they cost nearly nothing to get. Tired HuGo pretend he's a month away to burn the league.

I go to NHL to look at Primeau stats and I'm totally stunned to see his stats. Primeau is just 1 game under .500. According to NHL.com, he has started in 7 games, and he has 2 wins - 3 losses and 1 OTL.

2-3 record isn't bad at all. I thought he has something 1W-7L.
