The ideal scenario would be to send him to the Laval Rocket in the American League. However, as reported by Habsolumentfan.com, the Canadiens still fear losing him through waivers.
This was highlighted by journalist Renaud Lavoie during his appearance on the JiC show on TVA Sports.
Here are his words:
According to him, no fewer than three teams have shown interest in the young Canadiens goalie: the Anaheim Ducks, the New Jersey Devils, and the St. Louis Blues (especially in the trade market).
Looking closely at these teams' goaltending situation this season, it's evident that their backup goalies raise questions.
It might be better to have a goalie with some NHL experience on hand, allowing younger goalies from these organizations to develop in the American League:
The same question could be asked about Primeau. Despite his NHL experience, under normal circumstances, he should be the number one goalie with the Rocket instead of warming the bench with the Canadiens.
Given Jake Allen's excellent start to the season and the presence of Samuel Montembeault, the next start of number 30 isn't imminent, but one imagines Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton have a plan for their young goalie.
For now, Cayden Primeau is still with the team, but the question is for how much longer.
