In the context of a recent article, the excellent analyst Marc Dumont, who is also a former employee of the Montreal Canadiens, made a major statement regarding the young goaltender Cayden Primeau.
Wow. Let's recall that under his contract, if Primeau does not stay with the Canadiens in the NHL this fall, he will have to go through waivers.
This would be excellent news for Kent Hughes, who could then reassign Primeau with the Laval Rocket, which might be ideal for him.
Furthermore, let's admit that with the recent acquisition of Casey DeSmith, the chances of seeing Primeau placed on NHL waivers in a few weeks seem enormous at this stage.
Primeau, 23 years old, is a 7th-round pick (199th overall) in 2017. Last season, he compiled a record of 19-15-6 with a goals-against average of 3.04 and a save percentage of .909 in 41 games with the Laval Rocket.
