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

Allows six goals in loss
GMontreal Canadiens
October 10, 2024
Primeau stopped 23 of 29 shots in Montreal's 6-4 loss to the Boston on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Primeau faced a team motivated to turn the page on a poor effort in Tuesday's loss to Florida, and that showed in the first period when Boston put 13 shots on net and scored three times. The Bruins scored two more in the second and entered the third period with a 5-2 lead. However, Montreal didn't play like a team on the second night of a back-to-back and made it close before Primeau allowed a softie late.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Seattle interested?
GMontreal Canadiens
December 7, 2023
Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network believes the Kraken have inquired to Montreal about the availability of Primeau.
ANALYSIS
Primeau has a 2-3-0 record, 3.73 GAA and .886 save percentage in five contests this year. While those numbers are underwhelming, Primeau is just 24 years old and comes with an $890,000 annual cap hit through 2024-25, so he would be a low-risk addition with upside. With Montreal carrying three healthy goaltenders on its active roster, the team might be willing to move Primeau.
