I'm not exactly sure what people think the state of goalie prospects is around the league if Primeau, plus McNiven, Dichow, Dobes, and Vrbetic is a cause for concern. It's always good to improve everywhere whenever you can, and I certainly wouldn't have a problem with the Habs adding more goalie prospects if they can find a good one in trade or get value at next year's draft, but I'm not really sure where this idea that our goalie pipeline is weak or something that needs to be urgently addressed comes from. We've just been spoiled by having Carey Price for so long that we think it's normal for a goalie of the future to come in at 20 and demolish the AHL. Primeau's 22 and absolutely destroyed Hockey East at 18 and 19, and has been a solid pro goalie at 20 and 21 since then.
If you look around the league there's four teams (the ones that have Asakrov, Knight, Cossa, and Wallstedt) which you can definitively say have better goaltending prospects than Montreal, and we had no plausible chance to get any of them at a reasonable cost. After that? Maybe the Stars/Ducks/Sabres if you like Oettinger/Dostal/UPL? Again, I just don't think people have an accurate view of goalie prospects around the league if they think Montreal's pipeline is in some way anomalous or a reason for urgent concern. 20+ teams in the NHL would absolutely love to swap all their G prospects for all of ours, Primeau is as good a bet as anyone in the league after the top 4 G recent 1st round prospects, and Dichow/Dobes/Vrbetic are just as good dice rolls on 6'6" projects as what any other team has.
I also seriously do not understand the fixation on Primeau being a 7th rounder, Pekka Rinne and Henrik Lundqvist were 8th/7th rounders, Jaro Halak was a 9th rounder, Bobrovsky was undrafted, 17 year old goalies are incredibly hard to project and scouts get it wrong all the time with draft aged players, remember when we burnt a 2nd rounder on Zach Fucale? It is completely meaningless to get worked up about where Primeau was drafted four years ago, I genuinely do not understand why anyone thinks that matters one iota or that it somehow puts a cap on his ceiling. He went late because he had bad numbers in the USHL at 17 and then went on to be an absolute superstar at 18 and 19 in a top NCAA conference. Why do I give a shit about his draft position due to USHL numbers 5 years ago when he's outshined his peers at the NCAA and AHL level since then? It just doesn't make any sense 4 years out from a draft when we have track records in far more valuable development leagues to look at.
