With a blank in his 1st NHL start against a strong team, I think its most likely that Dobes will be the backup for the rest of the year and we'll not see Primeau as an Habs. Waivers can waive without hostility
What I think is most likely is Habs fans having a knee jerk reaction to a few games by a goalie.
Budaj, Tokarski, Condon, Lindgren, Niemi, Primeau and now Dobes. All were idolatrized by the fanbase and then...
Dobes did great in his first game, but that's one game.
A few posters seem to forget this (or simply don't know the rules).They can't, MTL will claim him back.
But never in your worst nightmares did you believe it would be this bad...Montreal will win against Florida with Dobes in the net…
As a Panthers’ fan living in Montréal, I’m not ready for this. It’s gonna be a tough day…
Or Dobes, Volohkhin...
Primeau was already dropped to our 3rd goalie prospect in summer 2023.
Don't forget Quentin Miller either. Anyways I was so disappointed in Primeau that I woulda put in Connor Hughes instead or even any of our ECHL guys.
Yeah Dobes did pretty good today. Man I always thought of you as a bit of a 'wad but it's cool to know you've turned over a new leaf KPC.
Wonder if that is an unwritten exchange of consideration. Like MTL receive the Flyers 2017 7th for their choice of MTLs next three 7th rounders.Funny trade tree with Cayden Primeau:
Acquired from the Flyers as a 7th round draft pick in 2017 for a 7th draft pick in 2018.
Re-acquired that 7th-rounder from the Flyers for a 7th round pick in 2019.
Re-acquired that 7th-rouder from the Flyers for a 7th round pick in 2020.
Flyers traded that 7th-rounder plus another 7th round pick in 2020 to acquire a 5th round pick in 2020 from Nashville.
