What if and this what if depends greatly on his performance.... but what if he played 32 games and mentored behind Price?

he is young, I would like to see him play 50-60 games in the AHL, he needs A LOT of mileage, something he did not get in the NCAA

and for a 2nd round and a mid-high prospect

I'd prefer if they tried to get Brodin or Dumba.

that could be an interesting scenario, but I wonder how Price would respond...

Hard to argue with that, I guess I'm a little guilty of trying to speed up the process, probably not what's best for him, I think he should be getting more starts in Laval right now though

I guess that all depends if they can finally manage to grab a decent backup for Price... I doubt they'll want Primeau in that role right away, he's too young to be playing only 20 games and sit the rest of the time

forget it. he's going to dumpster dive again. if you want someone who can come in and give you 30 quality starts you're going to have to pay a few million dollars at least. and there's no chance Bergevin is going to invest that much more in the goalie position.

what I don't get is why it's so important to keep Kinkaid right now and still give him games. Are they expecting to showcase and trade him? lol

i hear michal neuvirth is just sitting around doing nothing.

They should just buy him out at this point...

he's under contract for like 6 more weeks

true that there is already a lot of money invested between the pipes, but if an extra 2 million dollars can help you maximize your 10.5M investment, then they should do it in a heartbeat

who is that skilled guy that is always injured in the Q? I think he has concussion problems but very skilled

He's a UFA in July, there's nothing to really buy out

Philly is about to trade us their first round pick for Kinkaid....all part of the plan

he's under contract for like 6 more weeks

and until then he'll emoji-complain that he's not playing enough

Merci, how is her pregnancy going? confirmation you are getting twins yet?

he's getting run into the ground every year for a team that constantly misses the playoffs and generally doesn't even compete for a spot. i honestly don't think the on-ice situation could literally be any worse for him than it is right now.

you spelled alex lyon as "their first round pick" and that is a very weird typo.

Kinkaid is worth Cam York + a 1st easy

Alright, good point.

- Pat1993

i think it would be more than $2 million for the goalie we are talking about. but in any case, i agree with you that they should do it, especially since they now go into the season with a lot of unused cap space. my point was more that Bergevin won't do it because he'll basically be admitting that the Price contract was a mistake.

you spelled Provorov as "their first round pick" and that is a very weird typo.

My bad but I fully agree

Not sure a team will take a shot in the 1st round on him after his concussion problems this year. Hoping the Habs might try to grab him with an early 2nd.

My bad but I fully agree

lol come on. you gotta keep it feasible, ek.
