Montreal Canadiens fans don’t get a lot of breaking news in the month of August, so here at A Winning Habit, we’ll be counting down our picks for the top 31 prospects currently in the Habs organization. Each player was carefully deliberated by our writers and ranked accordingly. Today, we’re onto the number 24 ranked prospect, Cayden Primeau.
Primeau was a seventh-round selection in the 2017 NHL Draft, and he had NHL bloodlines, both his dad Keith and his uncle Wayne had long careers in the league. The Farmington Hill, Michigan., native played his 2016-17 season in the USHL with the Lincoln Stars, where he posted a 14-11-2 record, along with one shutout.
