Cayden Primeau has agreed to a three-year, one-way contract with an average annual value of $890,000 (CapFriendly).
The 23 year-old goaltender appeared in 12 games this season, posting a 1-7-1 record.
Primeau was drafted back in 2017, immediately Habs fans were confident that he would be Price's successor. After a fantastic world junior tournament showing in 2019, he was given his first shot at the show that following season (2019, 2020). Primeau would only play two NHL games that season. The young goaltender has been given a shot every season since then but has never shown himself to be NHL quality. He is given the starting role in the preseason but has never earned his spot on the roster.
It feels like Primeau still has potential but has not been able to put it together so far. This contract is an excellent opportunity for him to try and take the next step without the pressure of a pending contract. I wish him the best in his pursuit of a spot in the cage.
Go Habs Go
