Getting know Montreal Canadiens 199th overall selection Cayden Primeau

The Montreal Canadiens acquired an additional pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, and used pick #199 to choose goaltender Cayden Primeau.

He is the son of former NHL star Keith Primeau, opting to choose a career of stopping pucks rather than jamming them in.

He is a great athlete, capable of covering all of the net with his lateral movement, and already possesses good positioning instincts. He says he likes the way Pekka Rinne approaches the position, specifically the way he uses athleticism to his advantage.

After some strong seasons leading up to his draft year, his numbers weren’t all that impressive in his fist year of USHL play.
