Carey Price could be traded in the next few hours or days.I know… it’s a strange thing to say, but the goalie is known as one of the great players in Habs history, and even if Price is traded, he’ll always be a “Montreal Canadien”. Fans won’t forget him, and he’ll never forget his years in the city. He played for only one team in his career, and it was here that he found success in the National Hockey League. Everyone will remember that – especially if his jersey is retired and the goalie is inducted into the Hall of Fame one day…

Because yes, he does have a case for being voted one of the all-time greats, even if he didn’t win the Stanley Cup:

[content-ads] To see Price traded would truly be the end of an era in Montreal.

The goalie was drafted by the Canadiens 20 years ago, in 2005, andI was seven years old when he stepped up to the podium after hearing his name called by Canadiens management… It’s been a long time! That’s why it feels so different from when Shea Weber was traded to the Golden Knights. We agree: Weber helped the Canadiens for a good five years, he wore the “C” on his jersey in Montreal, he helped the club to a Stanley Cup Final in 2021, his last season in the National League… But he didn’t play for the Canadiens for his entire career. And while he was a huge leader for the team during his time in town, it’s not like Price… who played a total of 712 games in the blue, white and red uniform of the Canadiens. Anyway. Still, it feels weird to think that Price could / will get traded. But we’re there, right now. [spacer title=’Overtime’] – I like it.

– Big date in league history.

– Indeed.
