Only one Montreal Canadiens player appears on our tipster Renaud Lavoie’s list of 25 players likely to be traded as the March 7 trade deadline approaches in the National Hockey League (NHL). It must be believed that the team’s recent successes do not quite place the organization in the seller’s camp.

This player is not even in the CH fold at the moment, in fact. This is goalie Cayden Primeau, who was demoted to the Laval Rocket in the American League, due to not being claimed on waivers.
Primeau is however located at 25e and last place on Renaud’s list, which ranks players from most likely to be traded to least likely.
As Primeau will be a restricted free agent at the end of the season and the Canadiens could benefit from keeping him so as not to rush the development of Jakub Dobes, his departure is, for the moment, not considered highly regarded. probable, although possible.
However, the goalie market has very little to offer at the moment and a team like the Ottawa Senators, which is dealing with the absence of its No. 1 goalie Linus Ullmark, could be tempted.
Primeau, 25, has struggled with the Canadiens this season as evidenced by his 2-3-1 record, 4.7 goals-against average and .836 save percentage.
However, he did well last Friday with the Rocket by stopping 27 pucks in a 2-1 victory at the expense of the Abbotsford Canucks.
