Carey Price Breaks the Silence Regarding a Trade From the Canadiens
Carey Price's future in Montreal has been in question since he was forced to stop playing due to injury. Many wondered if his contract could be used in a trade for Long Term IR purposes. Now we have answers
Price Open To Trade
It was announced today that Carey Price will not be returning to hockey due to a knee injury. In an interview with Price he was asked how he would feel if the Canadiens traded his contract.
Price is willing to do whatever to help the Canadiens as always. This could include his contract being moved to give Montreal more flexibility.
Montreal Looking To Make A Playoff Push
With the recent influx of young talent the Montreal Canadiens have set themselves up to succeed again soon. Their young core will be in for a big test this season as they look to get the team back into playoff contention.
Without Price the Canadiens will go with Samuel Montembeault and either Casey DeSmith or Jake Allen in the net. Montembeault will likely be the starter heading into the season.
One thing is for sure the Canadiens have some big skate to officially fill with Price gone. They could use Price and his contract to acquire a successor or add to other parts of the roster.
