Waived: [MTL] G Cayden Primeau waived by the Canadiens

[bleuetbio]

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.

thats why I've said backup for the rest of the year and not for the future

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

They can't, MTL will claim him back.

A few posters seem to forget this (or simply don't know the rules).

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…

But never in your worst nightmares did you believe it would be this bad...

 

[Jeune Poulet]

Good riddance. He sucks.

If they didn't have famous fathers, Primeau and Tinordi's career objectives would be "employeee of the month" at Walmart.

 

[viceroy]

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.

Miller keeps getting injured.

We'll see what decision they take this summer, but he better show up when he comes back from injury in February/March.

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.

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.

Exactly none of those goalies were idolized. They may have been appreciated for the job they did in the role they had, but that’s it. Like when Tucker came in after Price’s injury against the Rangers in the conference finals, no one went and bought a jersey. No one was saying he was a bona fide number one. He played above his head for a spell when he was needed, and he was appreciated for it. Maybe you need to consult a dictionary and reference the definition of ‘idolized’.

 

[FerrisRox]

Someone must take a shot, It cost absolutly nothing to test the former best Habs prospect for some people

In what world was Cayden Primeau, a 7th round pick *ever* the Canadiens top prospect.

You don't have a clue what you're talking about.

I assume you weren't on HF much between 2012 and 2022.

What on earth are you talking about?

I was on, and what you are saying is utter and complete nonsense.

 

[Treb]

They all got overhyped and then vilified.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Is that the same as idolized though ?

Yes.

Exactly.

Fans appreciated Peter "Flanders" Budaj because he was a great backup due to his disposition, but that was the extent of it.

Neimi, Condon, and the other riffraff were never even overrated. Only Lindgren, who was once touted as a serious prospect who might develop into a starting goaltender (which he did, but not with us) to replace Price was highly touted.

Claiming idolization is disconnected from history and reality.

Remember Tokarski for a 1st?

Niemi stealing Price's job?

Condon starter goalie?

I remember.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Didn't pan out unfortunately for him, he was given the chance especially after KH moved Allen to the Devils. He didn't capitalise, time to move on, we have a lot of young goalies in the farm.

Best of luck Cayden!
