Kent Hughes on the verge of acquiring a goaltender and Cayden Primeau's replacement already identified?
Yesterday, former NHL goaltender and current TVA Sports analyst Éric Fichaud stated on air that he is convinced Cayden Primeau will be traded by Kent Hughes.
He is so certain that he even goes as far as to say that Cayden Primeau will not finish the year in Montreal. This statement has certainly stirred up quite a bit of discussion.
Now, TVA Sports has added to the story, reporting on information from Elliotte Friedman regarding the value of a goaltender from the Philadelphia Flyers organization.
Cayden Primeau traded and Alexei Kolosov's arrival?
According to Friedman's report, Alexei Kolosov has not reported to the team for the rookie camp and does not plan to attend the training camp either. A trade is imminent in his case.

This is starting to add up for Daniel Brière and the Flyers. I'm not sure what's wrong in Philadelphia, but Cutter Gauthier did the same thing and forced his GM's hand. He is now in Anaheim.
As Kent Hughes was in the thick of the battle to acquire Yaroslav Askarov and Éric Fichaud mentions that Cayden Primeau will certainly be traded, could the Canadiens be interested in Alexei Kolosov?
We're talking about a goaltender with an average goals-against of around 2.50 and a save percentage of 0.910 on a very average KHL team.
He certainly has good potential and is only 22 years old. He already has four years of experience in a professional league, which is not insignificant.
