MONTREAL – The Montreal Canadiens have acquired a seventh-round draft pick in 2026 from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for goaltender Cayden Primeau’s negotiating rights.
In 2024-25, Primeau appeared in 11 games with the Habs and registered a 2-3-1 record, in addition to 26 games with the AHL’s Laval Rocket where he posted a 21-2-2 record, a .927 save percentage and a 1.96 GAA.
The native of Farmington Hills, Mich., was selected by the Canadiens in the seventh round (199th overall) of the 2017 NHL entry draft.
