How good is this kid? Will he be a legit NHL starter?

Dont know, but it would be an awesome experience for him...what are the chances he's the primary backup for the play-in?
I agree. No harm in it either. We are gonna ride or die with CP anyway. Get Primeau the experience he needs to better position him to take the backup job next year.Dont know, but it would be an awesome experience for him...
Agreed, it's just a matter of which one.We are gonna ride or die with CP anyway.
I hope its high because he'd be a better option than Lindgren if needed and the experience even on the bench is better than staying home or sotting in the press box.what are the chances he's the primary backup for the play-in?

I get this feeling Habs will draft Askarov in hopes of having a future goalie tamdem of Primeau and Askarov playing roughly 50/50 games.
Hope not though. I want Rossi!
Primeau can take over Price some day!

I'm in favor of taking the best player available, but not high on a goalie. I guess if they're sure he's the next vasilevski it's worth it. Primeau is unproven and Price will need to be replaced.
Wheeler: “Primeau had a bit of an up and down rookie season at the pro level but that’s to be expected for most prospects, even the best among them. It can be easy to forget that he’s only 20 and he has an August birthday because it feels like he has been around forever. I liked the way he started and finished the year, which included a nice run of play at the end of February and into March before the shutdown. I don’t think he has to be as aggressive in the net as he is, because it can pull him out of position or force him into tough saves, but Primeau has the size and the technical skill on his feet or in his butterfly to stay involved in the play and recover from mistakes.”
The Habs certainly could be looking at a legit steal as getting a possible 1st round talent in the 7th round would be sick for us.
