Big information emerges regarding Cayden Primeau and a 2nd round pick
We just learned some very interesting information regarding Cayden Primeau and a second-round draft pick.
As we reported a few days ago, two successful trades between the Canadiens and the Flyers notably allowed the Habs to acquire goalie Primeau. (as well as Rafaël Harvey-Pinard)
Primeau, who has been playing extremely well since the Jake Allen trade.
Let's remember he was selected in the seventh round in 2017.
But in 2017, the Canadiens did not have a seventh-round pick.
Indeed, thanks to a trade with the Flyers, Montreal was able to get this 199th overall pick and thus draft Cayden Primeau.»
However, here's the new information in question. Primeau was a second-round pick according to the official list of the Habs! (and the third goalie overall)
We also learn that, that year, the Canadiens did not want to draft a goalie. They already had Carey Price (at the peak of his career), Charlie Lindgren, and Zachary Fucale, among others.
However, when they saw a second-round pick (according to them) slip to the 7th round, they felt compelled to seize this value.
This value thus became Cayden Primeau. Interesting!
All this comes from Mathias Brunet, at BPM Sports. The club
In 2017, 20 goalies were selected before Primeau, which is huge.
