2025 Fantasy Outlook
It would be unfair to judge Primeau for his play behind a rebuilding Montreal team in the last few years, but his 4.69 GAA and .836 save percentage in 11 games in 2024-25 was simply not good enough. Primeau's continued struggles led to Jakub Dobes filling the backup role over the last four months of the season. There's still a little optimism that Primeau can become an NHL regular -- just look at his 21-2-2 record, 1.96 GAA and .927 save percentage over 26 AHL games. He'll need a good summer and a strong training camp to regain his spot as an NHL backup, but if he can do it, he'll likely benefit from playing for the Canadiens, who are poised to be on the rise in the coming years.

Signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Hurricanes in July of 2025.
Signs extension following trade
Primeau has signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Hurricanes, the team announced Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Primeau was a restricted free agent when he was acquired by Carolina from Montreal on Monday in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round pick. The 25-year-old dominated with AHL Laval during the 2024-25 regular season, posting a 21-2-3 record, 1.92 GAA and .927 save percentage across 26 appearances. The Hurricanes are likely to open the season with Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov as their NHL goaltenders, but Primeau should be the first netminder promoted in the event of an injury.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2020
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to be waived Saturday
Primeau is expected to be put on waivers Saturday, according to Eric Engels of Sportsnet.
ANALYSIS
Primeau has struggled in 2024-25 with a 2-3-1 record, 4.69 GAA and .836 save percentage in 11 appearances with Montreal. A stint in the minors might be what the 25-year-old needs to regain his confidence. Meanwhile, Jakub Dobes is with the Canadiens and set to make his NHL debut Saturday in Florida.
