RUMOR : Carey Price the subject of huge rumors following early exit.

The Canadiens have been out of the Playoffs for only a few hours and the rumor mill is already in full swing. The team said it was on a rebuilding path in the last 5 years, but the results are not what was expected. For some, it's time to run a fire sale and look for a totally different roster. 

That's exactly why the rumors around Carey Price are so insane. Arguably one of the best goalie in the world, Price is pretty much the only truly valuable piece of the Habs roster at the time. Senior analyst Ken Campbell sees something like this trade as a possibility. 


It would make sense, as the Habs desperately need offensive power and Seguin would be a game changer. 

With one year remaining on his contract, it is expected for Price to negociate a monstrous long term deal next year. His current cap hit is 6.5M$ but it could go as high as 10M$ a year when the time comes. For reference, the highest paid goalie in the league right now is Henrik Lundqvist at 8.5M$. 

Of course, the Montreal's fans are in panic mode themselves and it shows. 


Even the Coyotes are subliminally fighting for him to move! 


It will be fascinating to see what will come out of Montreal in the next few weeks!
