First of all, be aware that many experts are genuinely questioning whether Primeau will be placed on waivers by the Canadiens.
It really seems to be an option for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton.
We also believe this will be a significant situation to monitor today, but please note that the NHL roster freeze is still in effect until midnight tonight.
Therefore, Primeau will not be placed on waivers today at 2 p.m., but it could happen as soon as tomorrow!
This is a situation we will closely monitor tomorrow afternoon.
If Primeau is placed on waivers, it will indicate that Jakub Dobes is in Montreal for good.
If Primeau is not placed on waivers, it could suggest that Dobes' time in Montreal might be temporary.
We will certainly keep you informed of further developments.
For those who may have missed this news, let's recall that the Montreal Canadiens officially announced the recall of goaltender Jakub Dobes earlier today.
This was an expected personnel move, which has now been confirmed by the organization.
Dobes, 23, has a 9-3-1 record this season in Laval, with a goals-against average of 2.44 and a save percentage of 0.910.
UPDATE
It is now reportedly confirmed, according to renowned insiders Renaud Lavoie and Eric Engels, Cayden Primeau will be placed on NHL waivers tomorrow.
Stay tuned for an official announcement tomorrow after the roster freeze!
