With 50 goals conceded in only 12 games, the Habs are poorly placed in the NHL, surpassed only by the Pittsburgh Penguins and the San Jose Sharks.
Let's just say that these numbers speak for themselves.
Samuel Montembeault started the season on a high note, but with Cayden Primeau struggling, the Canadiens are struggling too. Their mistakes often become costly, leaving the team with no real chance of winning.
The situation is becoming increasingly worrying for Primeau, whose future could be at stake.
According to analyst Stu Cowan, it might be time to consider placing Primeau on waivers. For Cowan, if Primeau continues to disappoint, he won't hesitate to say that action must be taken, even if it means losing a player.
On the other hand, the Laval Rocket stands out with high-performing goalies like Jakub Dobes and Connor Hughes, who carry the team on their shoulders.
The situation could therefore encourage the Canadiens to part ways with Primeau to give him a chance to get back on track elsewhere. Otherwise, would trading him be an option?
In short, tough choices lie ahead for the Habs, as patience with Primeau wears thin.
In six games this season, Primeau has maintained a goals-against average of 4.38 and a save percentage of .861. There is agreement that this is not enough to keep a job in the NHL.
