Yeah Fucale was almost a 1st rounder... I disagree, seems to me the Canadiens do a lot to covert goaltenders through the draft. They made a trade to get Primeau too.
You know there are a lot more defensemen then goalies in the NHL, right? Actually 6 times as many...

not only that, but what'S the point in wasting assets and resources on scouting 1-3 rounders for a goaltender when you have 10+ years left with Price, no need to waste it on an other goaltender until 2 years ago, thus why we have Primeau

if the Habs keep missing the playoffs it would seem likely he would waive. Doesn't have to be to an expansion team, several teams could have goalie issues so as long as he is playing at a high level and wants out with the Habs willing to eat a couple Million off his cap then I don't think it's that far fetched at all.

I guess that would make it slightly more likely. If you guys eat a big chunk and are not good then it could happen. I guess I just think there are way to many variables involved to count on something like that happening.
Idk, he could get injured or abruptly retire.
Heck the flyers pick one goalie every single draft because they're such a crapshoot. Most would consider it risky to not devote any resources to scouting/drafting goaltenders for half a decade or more.

what a start to the year for him, 1.88 gaa, .939 %, has looked very solid so far and Laval has had a really tough schedule to start the season.

After another strong outing yesterday, he's actually now at 1.80 gaa and .941 sv% his first 6 starts in the AHL. That's in the same ballpark as Shestyorkin's stats who was named AHL goaltender of the month but is > 3 years older.

I think Montreal should draft more goalies than they do, even know.. there's nothing in the system outside of Primeau as the Danish goalies year in the Swedish J20 is pretty disappointing. Would have been better off drafting Hlavaj like I wanted them to, but alas.

I can’t believe he fell this far in the draft. As a Canuck fan I wouldn’t have mind if they took him in the 2nd round with our pick in the 50s

Save percentage is now at .943.
He's no Jake Oettinger though.

let him ferment for a couple of years in the AHL, and then we'll deal CPrice
we'll have to eat salary though
that shouldn't be a problem, Price at 8.5M per certainly looks better to teams then at 10.5M depending of course on how his game holds up.
Kid is gonna be a star, its insane how technically sound he is. Still cant believe he was a 7th rounder.

Right now Primeau is playing like the absolute stud of a prospect that he is and looks poised to be a really good starting goaltender for us in about two or three years. If he continues dominating like that throughout the entire AHL season and performs well at the NHL level, we might actually trade Price in the foreseeable future, something that I thought I'd not see for another 4 or 5 years at least.

Can't think of too many goalie prospects I would trade him for at the moment, if any.

Though i haven't seen him play, his stats are really impressive. Fun to think a late 7th rounder could become a good, if not a dominating piece for us in the future.
