BREAKING: Carey Price is Expected to be Traded..
Elliot Friedman (Sportsnet analysis) has revealed that Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price is expected to be moved next season. Carey Price has spent 14 NHL seasons with the Canadiens, and hockey fans can agree that Carey Price has been the back bone and one of the main reasons for the Canadiens success.
Carey Price is currently 34 years old, and can be compared age wise to a player that was recently dealt-long time Philadelphia Flyer Claude Giroux.
The recent hiring of the Canadiens new general manager Kent Hughes has left Montreal fans and players unsure of what the future holds for them and their team. Kent Hughes recently made it very clear the Canadiens are going to attempt to load up on draft picks as well as prospects, while trading away their veterans- a full rebuild.
With veterans on the move like Jeff Petry, what does Carey Price's future with the team hold? Elliot Friedman has recently commented on the situation while on his 32 thoughts podcast. He mentioned he believes the newly hired general manager is expected to deal Carey Price.
Friedman:
«Do we see Carey Price again?»
Marek:
«I can see Carey Price coming back And playing somewhere elsewhere next season».
Carey Price hasn't played since bubble hockey was a thing and the outbreak around the NHL got bad, the Stanley Cup final against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Expect the same scenario as Claude Giroux, aging closer to retirement each year, and wanting to spend his last few seasons on a winning team- that is NOT rebuilding like the Chicago Blackhawk's are (Fleury), Philadelphia Flyers (Giroux) and now it is looking like the Canadiens make a splash
