Shocking Surprise: See one major shocking reason why Kent Hughes is forced to trade Cayden Primeau

Since the start of camp, it’s becoming evident that there are some very good goaltenders within the organization, and some have even started speculating on the possibility of Dobes causing an upset.

What if he were as good as Jacob Fowler but further along in his development?

Believe it or not, Dobes, who stands at 6 feet 5 inches and weighs 200 pounds, shows stats as strong as Jacob Fowler at the same age in the same league.

In his rookie season in the NCAA, he compiled a 21-12-2 record, with a 2.26 GAA and an impressive .934 save percentage.

Last season with the Laval Rocket, he had a 24-18-6 record (in 51 games), a 2.93 GAA, and a .906 save percentage.

He was the most used goaltender in the entire AHL.

In the second half of the season, he was very solid, maintaining a save percentage over .920.

 

Jakub Dobes is better than Cayden Primeau

Let us not take anything away from Primeau. He has played some excellent games for the Montreal Canadiens, but he has also demonstrated that he can be fairly unreliable.

This could occur at the beginning or middle of the season.

Let’s not rule out the chance that Jakub Dobes will surprise everyone in the Canadiens’ net, especially if a significant trade offer for Cayden Primeau arrives on Kent Hughes’ desk.

Furthermore, Connor Hughes appears to have all of the necessary talents to be the Laval Rocket’s starting goaltender.

Hughes, who is 6 feet 4 inches and weighs 231 pounds, had a crazily high save percentage of.940 in the top Swiss league last season (1.73 GAA).

A battle to watch closely.

Who do you think would be the best backup goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens this season?
