Carey Price's NHL Career Looks to be Over
Carey Price is well known as a generational goaltender of the current era of the National Hockey League, to prove that statement you can take a look at his stats from just a couple seasons ago, Price was indeed a different breed.
Something you cannot just look up is mental health and certain addictions, Price had his fair share of battles last season and is a true warrior. One year ago Price agreed to take part in the NHL's player assistance program. After Price took place in the program he only participated in 5 games, his final came alongside a big win on April 29th, which may have been his last game played in the NHL.

Info was revealed this summer, and the statement was confirmed today, September seventh:
''Montreal Canadiens GM Kent Hughes says he doesn't see a path for Carey Price to return and play during the 2022-23 season.''
The Canadiens have signed Kirby Dach to a 4-year deal, putting them over the suitable cap space, shortly after they announced Price is officially put on long-term injury reserve. Long-term injury reserve is not as simple as you think, and in depth it nearly confirms Price's career seems to be over as well as him being deemed unhealthy to play hockey anytime soon.
Long-Term Injury/Illness Exception to the Upper Limit. In the event that a Player on a Club becomes unfit to play (i.e.. is injured, ill or disabled and unable to perform his duties as a hockey Player) such that the Club's physician believes, in his or her opinion, that the Player, owing to either an injury or an illness, will be unfit to play for at least (i) twenty-four (24) calendar days and (ii) ten (10) NHL Regular Season games, and such Club desires to replace such Player, the Club may add an additional Player or Players to its Active Roster, and the replacement Player Salary and Bonuses of such additional Player(s) may increase the Club's Averaged Club Salary to an amount up to and exceeding the Upper Limit, solely as, and to the extent and for the duration, set forth below. If, however, the League wishes to challenge the determination of a Club physician that a Player is unfit to play for purposes of the Bona-Fide Long-Term Injury/Illness Exception, the League and the NHLPA shall promptly confer and jointly select a neutral physician, who shall review the Club physician's determination regarding the Player's fitness to play.
Price, being 35 years of age and recently having a new addition to the family alongside his three kids will more than likely prioritize family time, over attempting to make a return to the NHL which will cause more health issues.
Price has been going through treatments of Platelet Rich Pasma, also known as the short term variation PRP, which is also known as a final option for athletes to save their sports careers while they can. Sadly that was not the case for Carey Price, the treatments have not worked whatsoever and it is looking like it may be time for Price to hang up the skates, and call it a career- if so, he had one heck of a astonishing career.
