I quite appreciate the contribution of Dikembe. To hope he becomes a sustainable difference making goalie is wishful thinking or speculative at best. I do not discount he could become a Devan Dubnyk 2.0. But like Dubnyk it will likely be a flash in the pan (2-4 year story).
However, Dikembe is a very attractive asset. Low cap hit, short term commitment, seems to be riding a wave (momentum) for aspiring teams against the cap with goaltending weakness or depth issues. I would seriously consider trading him for drafts picks in the future. These will become very valuable when the HABS become buyers at the TDL and aspirants to the SC.
In the meantime, I am willing to test and find out what we have in Primeau while creating space in the minors for prospects like Dobes and Dichow
