Proposal: Cayden Primeau to Edmonton

[Bouboumaster]

Montréal has good ol' Monty as our starter, and Dobes feel like he's ready too.
And we have Fowler coming up in a couple of years

Primeau was solid last year but he feels like the odd man this time around

Primeau for a 2nd? Interested?

No man, we traded our own Skinner last year (Allen), we don't need more of them, we need less of them

 

[ElPrimeTime]

From an Oilers POV, I would decline. Based on their AHL stats, I can't see that much of a difference between Primeau and Rodrigue. I'd give him a shot before utilizing a 2nd on a goalie who isn't a clear upgrade.

Montenbault is not the future in nets and Dobes in not NHL ready after only one ok season in the AHL. Primeau will be around for at least this season in Montreal, maybe longer.

no

Primeau is not proven enough for that kind of value.

My prediction is that he'll get traded this summer for some mid/late pick and/or prospects if Dobes push hard enough and we sign Fowler and Miller.

 

[frederixx]

They need a true #1 proven goalie. No sense in trading for another maybe.

Give whatever it takes and grab a true gem

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Just keep prims as the backup

 

[CanadienShark]

Primeau doesn't have that kind of value and I don't think the Habs are ready to move him either. Pass from both sides.

Would a gif of Glen Gulutzan throwing a stick into the stands be appropriate?

Nobody ever trade a #1 proven goalie

It doesn't happen, unless in extremely rare occasions aka the Bob Trade

Edmonton best option is to find a young goalie prospect that is a diamond in the rough

I think we are, and I think the Oilers need a solid Plan B asap

no

yes

I don't think he ends up the year in Montréal, as he's, IMO, the odd man here

Monty ain't the future, but he's the present (and the next 2 or 3 years) and I feel like Dobes is actually ready
I was mightily impressed by him this off season

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I don't know if Edmonton would even claim Primeau off waivers, let alone pay a 2nd for him. And that isn't a slight on Primeau but rather the low value goalies generally have and him not really being an improvement on what they have.

well, now I need to see this
