Really? That's a nice package for him...

Maybe he's tired of the gong show?

I dunno, he's survived it pretty well...if they lose him, they'll be in some trouble to say the least.

For sure. I certainly can't speak for him, but I'd want out of that mess.

Not long ago *he* was that mess, and while I'm not going to support the current management, the organization, at the time, made a very risky move to keep him, and gave him what I thought a more-than-fair contract.

That said, most clubs are looking for a true #1, many are saddled with bad contracts. Who does that leave? New Jersey, Edmonton (if they buy out Khabibulin), Columbus, Toronto (wouldn't that be something), Washington. Those are UFA destination. If you add in potential trades, that opens up a few more, like LA.

I'm sure they'll work something out for Price in Montreal. If he were to leave, I think they'd be in big trouble. Price gets ragged on a lot in Montreal, but without him, they'd be so much worse off.

He's an RFA. I don't see him going elsewhere.

I see the "rumour" is that he wants a 10 year deal.

Marinaro is saying Price has not been offered a 7x7 deal.

"After speaking with people very close to the situation I have been told that Carey Price has NOT been offered a 7 year 49M contract."

I like it when people call Marinaro an "F***in' spaghetti" on twitter.

Haha if Price leaves this team we're looking at 5 years of lottery

I wonder what they'd get back in a trade. Probably a decent package.

Price won't be able to leave the team as he is an RFA. It's either Montreal of Europe for him.

Turris for Price would be an overpayment. Montreal would have to add something.

Price, Patch, MTL 1st for Mr. 3rd overall himself!

We'll even throw in a 5th in 2017. Unless that's an overpayment on our part. Ya, I think it is. They'll have to add a 2nd to even it out.

How long before some sort of crappy energy drink called MaxPac is launched in La Belle Province?

Enough to re-label as MaxPac and make a go of it?

Chicago Blackhawks assistant GM Marc Bergevin, agent Pat Brisson, Tampa Bay Lightning assistant GM, Julien BriseBois, Leafs assistant GM Claude Loiselle are candidates so far.
