Cayden Primeau

25-Year-Old GoalieG
Montreal Canadiens
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Primeau appeared in a career-high 23 contests last campaign, registering a mark of 8-9-4 with two shutouts, a 2.99 GAA and a .910 save percentage. The Canadiens didn't want to risk losing him on waivers, so he remained on the roster behind Sam Montembeault and Jake Allen. Primeau will see more playing time in 2024-25 after the Canadiens traded Allen to New Jersey in March. The 25-year-old Primeau flashed some potential in 2023-24, but his fantasy value remains limited for the upcoming campaign. However, he could make for a decent option for spot starts in favorable matchups. Read Past Outlooks

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Primeau appears to be the Canadiens' goalie of the future, but for now, the 21-year-old is likely set to battle Charlie Lindgren for the taxi squad job in 2020-21. Primeau was solid in 33 games for AHL Laval last year, as he had a 17-11-3 record with a 2.45 GAA and a .908 save percentage. More than likely, Primeau will spend the upcoming season in the minors, as the organization will want him to get playing time. He's not expected to make a fantasy impact yet, and with Jake Allen under contract through the 2022-23 season, any dynasty managers rostering Primeau will have to wait quite some time for a return on investment.
