Proposal: Cayden Primeau to Edmonton

[BLNY]

yes

Dobes has 51 AHL games under his belt. I think he's promising, and he had a decent camp this year. I don't think he's ready to play 25-30 NHL games. Give him another full year in Laval as the #1.

Primeau is in the last year of his deal. RFA. There's no rush to walk away from Primeau.

I just don't see Primeau as filling a need for Edmonton...
And a 2nd is likely more than he's worth, though if a team really likes him and has a need, you never know.

Nobody ever trade a #1 proven goalie

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

What?

Roy? Hasek? Rask? Luongo?

Ullmark & Markstrom this summer

Just pay the damn price

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

Common... He a cup finalist an was at the all star game. Do it!

Habs could probably get a 4th or 5th at best for him unless he plays out of his mind in a platoon this season. Rushing Dobes seems like a colossally stupid idea just so Montreal could get a mid round pick for Primeau. They've managed to build a goalie pipeline that appears solid I don't see any reason to mess with that

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?

makes absolutely zero sense for Montreal to trade a young goaltender for a low 2nd when they already have 7 picks in the 1st 3 rounds in June.
Edm is also not going to give that return.
Dobes is only in his 2nd pro year and needs to play. He shouldn't be a backup this year and Fowler is a minimum 3 years away.
This is not a trade montreal is making

I think he could realistically be in Laval next season and Monty's backup in 2 years tbh

Does anyone know if Connor Hughes is gonna back up in Laval or be the main guy in Trois-Rivieres?

I for sure would do it, and the Habs should also do it IMO

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.

AHL stats aren't directly comparable because divisions are region locked. There's a lot less conference vs conference play than the NHL. Laval plays in the most funded AHL division and conference for AHL vets.

Oilers do need a real starter too though not magic beans.

Only thing I like here is that it gets dobes to NHL. However .. he's probably a year away and am happy if he gets a few callous when injuries happen.

As an oil fan...I'd rather target guys like vejmelka or vanecek as Pickard upgrades. But I have a glaring bias.

Despite a meh preseason.. I do think Rodrigue is going to be a very good NHL goalie for the Oil
