Prospect Info: Cayden Primeau

[WeThreeKings]

Hard to take much from that game. Wasn't tested much. Rebound control was good. Lateral movement could be sharper.

 

[Habs Halifax]

We can be pessimistic towards Primeau and avoid being all high on him but he's trending in the right direction and snagged the starting job for the US. This is good news people. If he disappointed, people would be all over it saying we had too much hope in him.

6 of our 7 prospects who made this tough tournament have done very well. We can't ask for more that what they showed us in promise and direction. Remember, this is a good measuring tool as any cause it's the best 18 and 19 year olds in the world.

There are no guaranties in life yes. But our boys have done well and I rather see what I am seeing vs having them disappoint

Cayden Primeau at eliteprospects.com

Promising player, although not a reincarnation of Carey Price.

 

[Teufelsdreck]

I think Bergevin has done a good job in the past two years by adding Domi. Suzuki, Poehling,, Tatar.

Coaching might bring that out.

Hart is on the Price road. Primeau is a 7th round pick who is just trying to improve his resume and he's on the right track.

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

Need to work on his skating if he wants to play in the NHL, the league is getting fast.

 

[417]

He's a 7th round pick goalie...the fact he's even at the WJC's is already a huge draft win.

Obviously, he's still got things to work on...so do most 18-19yr olds, esspespeci those drafted so late

History has shown you do not need a Carey Price to win the cup. Even 'crazy train' Niemi has a cup ring, doesn't he?

 

[CoopersFalls]

He is trending in the right place. Who knows how good he could be by 23, 24.

Promising player, although not a reincarnation of Carey Price.

That is a good thing in my books.

 

[Scintillating10]

Can't wait for Russia game today. Never cheered for USA before. Today be first and likely only time. Lol

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Onto the GMG for Primeau. Pretty impressive.

 

[cphabs]

There’s not too much pressure you can put on a teenage goalie than this Kid did great! Gratz!

 

[The Great Weal]

It's safe to say we won't see him again in this tournament...

 

[canadiensnation]

He's got great numbers through 4 games played at the tournament.
4 GP / 4 W / 0 L / 5 GA (1.25 GAA) / 90 SV (.947 SV%)

 

[Scintillating10]

Played great against Russia. Stopped 34 of 35 shots. Named player of game.

 

[WinterLion]

He kept it together extremely well vs. Russia. Scrambled and got a tad rattled on one sequence, but fought it off and kept calm the rest of the way. He is definitely an excellent G prospect at this point. Nobody can deny that. Great pick.

6 of 7....which one has not played well in your opinion? The kid from the Swedish team?

Yeah I imagine Olofsson and even then he was put in a tough position being asked to play defense.

I think a lot of those Swedish kids will look better when they aren't playing for Sweden. That team is just so damn boring.

 

[OldCraig71]

Lundqvist was drafted very late and he turned out okay so who knows, this kid might be turn out to be a diamond in the rough also.

Imo nothing is a draft win until it affects the NHL team positively, whether the player is ablr to perform at the nhl level or is traded for someone who is - or if Primeau were to be traded for better than a 7th round pick.

 

[Walrus26]

I expect that the hockey pundits will duly upgrade their assessments of the Habs prospect pool, given the WJC performances of Primeau, Poehling and Romanov....
