Kent Hughes on the verge of acquiring a goalie via waivers? A statement makes Cayden Primeau look bad
With less than a week to go before the start of the Habs regular season, Samuel Montembeault and Cayden Primeau are still battling it out for the Jake Allen assistant position.
While Montembeault seems to have a head start on Primeau, Primeau can't be said to be helping himself right now, as he's had some rough outings since the start of training camp.
During his appearance on TVA Sports' JiC show, journalist Renaud Lavoie was not very complimentary towards the Habs' goaltender and even suggested that the organization send him to spend the entire season with the Laval Rocket.
The journalist also said that he would not be surprised if Kent Hughes went for another goalie via waivers.
Lavoie went even further in his comments by mentioning that Primeau is not mature enough for a second goalie role and that he is not ready to be third in line.
If Kent Hughes wants to add a goalie via the waiver wire, he needs to do it soon, the season starts very soon!
Ouch! Comments that, let's face it, make the 23-year-old goalie look pretty bad. But we must admit that Cayden Primeau does not have the development hoped for from the organization of the Habs, especially for the past two years, and it is to wonder if he will ever become a regular goalie in the NHL.
