Primeau seems a long way from being ready to play well in the NHL.

Why?

 

[Krustchev]

Why?

Because he looked very “green” when I saw him play in the NHL last year. He’s very young and just one season removed from college hockey.

 

[GrandWazoo]

He had a rocky start, giving up 2 goals in his first NHL period, but then settled and only gave up 3 goals in his next 5 periods (+ OT).

I think he's only one year away. He could be a back up right away but that's not great for this development.

I wanted Primeau to play a full starter season in the AHL this year and take the backup role next year.

is he eligible for Seattle ?

 

[Habsy]

Primeau? No.

Why?

he was not great in the minors last year

he will need at least 1 and probably 2 years there of being dominant before he is ready for the NHL imo

He was the best in Laval, despite a bad stretch after being sent down.

I agree about at least 1, maybe 2 years. To me that's not a long way.

Anyway, Allen has a very tradeable contract, if and when Primeau is ready.
