As TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie points out, the Philadelphia Flyers are very familiar with Primeau and have been monitoring him for a long time.
Primeau has been linked to the Flyers in various rumors over the years.
Now, they have room in net, an opportunity for Primeau, and clear ties to his father, Keith Primeau.
Keith Primeau played with the Philadelphia Flyers for several seasons (1999 to 2006) and has always remained in contact with the organization.
Cayden Primeau practically grew up around the Flyers.
In short, this is a situation to watch closely!
