Renaud Lavoie Hints at Major Changes Potentially Coming in Net for the Canadiens
It had been mentioned for weeks that Dobes was truly on the verge of being called up by the Habs, but every time there seemed to be a real opportunity to give him a chance with the big club, he got injured.
Earlier today, Rocket play-by-play announcer revealed that Dobes could return from injury as early as Friday, potentially shaking things up for Primeau and the Canadiens.
Well, see what Renaud Lavoie mentioned this morning during his segment on BPM Sports.
Now that he is healthy again, will the much-anticipated call-up happen?
A long-awaited call-up for Jakub Dobes with the Montreal Canadiens
Here's another excerpt from Renaud Lavoie's segment, where he discusses young Cayden Primeau, who is unfortunately experiencing a historically bad season in Montreal.
Renaud Lavoie therefore does not necessarily believe it's over for Primeau or that he will be placed on NHL waivers, but he also believes that a healthy Jakub Dobes could shake things up.
I think we would have said, 'OK, let's see what can Dobes give us for one or two games.'»
Renaud Lavoie, who also believes the decision for these two games in two nights, against the Detroit Red Wings, will say a lot about what happens next.
We are very eager to see what happens next in this case, but with Primeau's abysmal numbers, we could see changes sooner rather than later.
