His progression this season is something I will look for sure, probably one of the most intriguing prospect we have with our hole for a #1 G in the futur
Cucked by Portillo who had a way better team in front of him last year.
Intriguing indeed. I place my chips on that big boy for the #1 spot in next few years. He posted one hell of a freshman season, anyone know what his flaws are?

Demidov is a HAB
He's over aggressive in the net so he can be exploited that way. His rebound control needs to be refined and needs to continue his improvement in reeling in his emotions.
Good news is, he's athletic as hell. He's explosive in his movements. He's combative in the net. Can pass the puck and his tracking skills are high end.

We were saying all that about Primeau at the same age. I won't expect anything from Dobes until he is in the nhl winning games.

Im pretty high on Dobes , he seems to have the complete package of size/technique/competitiveness to become a legit NHL goalie and possibly a star one

I'd be hesitant on Primeau. He's looked solid in the A, but not so much in the NHL. Now, the team is trash, but so are the goals he's letting in

I think he will be fine, showed his potential last AHL playoffs and has been more solid than Monty all camp. Having both Dobes and Primeau will be an absolute strength in 3-4 yrs from now IMO.

I can understand for Dobes, but why for primeau? Every time he has faced anything related to the NHL, he hasn't blocked anything whatsoever: his performance is worst than Mon'tank'beault

Nope, not this camp, Primeau has been better. You have to considere how bad our team is, especially our blueline and that we started the camp with about 60 players and havent dressed a full line-up yet while the other teams have been playing with their regulars for a while. Primeau is very solid technically and he proved how solid he can be last AHL playoffs, thats a matter of confidence in his case, you dont want to mess with it and thats why he will spend another year in Laval. Keep in mind that goaltenders take multi years to reach their prime, thats longer than any other position to develop and that Primeau missed alot of hockey because of the pandemic. Im still a big time believer.

Ive been watching this kid since his NCAA debut, he is technically strong, combative and has the mental toughness to succeed, but bringing up a young goaltender when your team is lousy, plays without any structure, is easily the best way to destroy his confidence.
I see, those are fair points.
From my end, I genuinely believe that, players that have succeeded (especially goaltenders), have done so at every level. If they stumbled, it was never as bad as what I've seen from Primeau. I used to be a big believer, but having watched him recently, I believe his ceiling is that of a back-up netminder.
Still got high hopes for Dobes, however!
