Hum.. Ookay

A 7th for a goalie, sure.

 

[WeThreeKings]

High upside goalie. Has the tools, needs to put it together.

 

[Agalloch]

Some people had him 80ish overall. Nice pick up for a 7th round pick.

 

[MD thaivuN]

bloodline pick

 

[MrNasty]

Whose career was ended by a Canadien.

 

[FireBurningBin]

6'3 17 year old going into the NCAA. Certainly the type of goalie prospect I would draft.

 

[MrNasty]

funny that the pick was from Philly and they took Primeau.

 

[radicalcenter]

Mckenzie had him ranked 84th!!

 

[psychonaut]

How did we get this pick?

 

[Runner77]

Keith Primeau's son. USHL product.

Lefty, 6'2, 186 lbs., 17 years old. NHL Central Scouting ranked him 7h best goalie. NHL Network had him as no. 54 prospect.

2016-17, 3.16 GAA, .895 save %.

Habs are well-stocked in goalie prospects, probably sets up a trade.

[Uwey]

Thank You.

 

[Adam Michaels]

What did they trade for that pick????

A 2018 7th round pick.

This is exactly what happened last year. Habs traded their 2017 7th rounder to Winnipeg for their 2016 7th rounder to select Henrik Arvidsson. This year, they got their 2017 7th rounder back from Philly for the Habs' 2018 7th rounder. And if the trend continues this way, Habs will get their 2018 7th rounder back from someone for their 2019 7th rounder.

 

[Agalloch]

First goalie drafted since Hayden Hawkey in 2014

Here are a few thoughts from a write-up I did on Primeau who is one of my favourite prospects in this draft:

If you want the goalie that has the one of the best the size/footwork combination in the draft than look no further than Lincoln Stars goalie Cayden Primeau. A common theme with young goalies is that if you’re big one of your weaknesses are going to the footwork because you are still growing into your frame. Primeau doesn’t have that problem though. His footwork is closer to DiPietro than it is to Petruzzelli. This footwork feeds into Primeau’s crease depth preference where he doesn’t like to be aggressive knowing that his frame will take up a large part of the net no matter where he set in the crease. This results in Primeau being less vulnerable to backdoor or cross-ice passes. Primeau also likes to use a low/wide stance making it even more difficult to score on those types of passing plays.

The main issue of course is consistency. A year in the USHL being the starter and then into the NCAA the next year would really allow him to flourish.

Habs are hilarious. They just keep trading next year's 7th for this year.

I have no problems with this. By the time he even gets to the AHL, it's probably 3 years.

By then Fucale is gone, Lindgren may or not still be in the organization. Ditto McNiven. Timing is good.

Always keep good goalie depth.

We also have Hayden Hawkey who had a solid year, nice to have lots of depth at the position spread out in different leagues.
