Observations
March 2018 – Playing at an exceptional level for an 18-year-old in the NCAA, Primeau has reverted back to his status as a high-level goaltending prospect. A spectacular .933 save percentage and a 1.86 goals against average and the Beanpot Pig winner are just some of the 2017-18 accolades achieved by the freshman at Northeastern.
Primeau’s 2016-17 season in the USHL didn’t produce the best results as he often looked raw and over-aggressive. He did look better toward the end of the season, flashed his major potential at the Ivan Hlkina tournament, and his physical traits have always been appealing. Of course, Primeau’s bloodline also played a major part in him getting drafted as a potential seventh-round steal by the Canadiens later that June.
The combination of Primeau’s physical and mental skills give him NHL All-Star potential. He is still very young and has a long way to go before being NHL ready. But, due to his pedigree, he may even have a safe floor to compliment his high ceiling.
I wouldn’t expect Primeau to sign an NHL contract until 2020 at the earliest and not ready to compete at the NHL level until at least 2022-23. Mike Barrett
