Kevin Weekes says yes, Eric Engels says no, but both give their reasons as to why they think Carey Price is heading to Seattle or staying in Montreal.

Very odd in the timing of the release of the Carey Price injury reports but even whats even more odd is that Price won't be seeing a "doctor"
until after the Kraken have to announce their expansion picks so they won't really know the status of Price's injuries.
I also find it very odd on the release of the Shea Weber injuries and how he might never play again story
when he played the 3rd most minutes of any defenseman in this years playoffs.
It seems as though Bergevin is learning as he goes on they ways of an expansion draft, and good for
him if it's all legal.
take him and i'm a forever kraken fan after my leafs
He's Gonzo
I can't see them taking Price. I wouldn't. For an aging goalie who hasn't played great in the regular season for years now, with health issues for $10m x 5? Nope.
Lol kraken be smokin crack to pick up that 10 mil hit… With mediocre numbers at best ,he's worth maybe 5-6 mil a year ( in Canada )
On my opinion….
Defense is a team game and offense is more individualistic…
Surround a good team with some great offensive guys would be my choice.
Allen is solid.
I think they will, because it is a one time chance !
If Price heads closer to home, I'm happy for him. Jake Allen is a solid goalie. More money to build up an offense. Varlamov went 7 games against Tampa. It's not by avoiding get scored on that the Habs are going to move forward. Important, Yes. But they need some firepower
They would be nuts to not get him.
Draft price and put him on LTIR.. then the cap won’t affect then
Ikr
He’s the best goalie up and he will be a backup cause of the hip
Je sais pas si ils vont le prendre… Mais quelle perte pour le Canadiens si c'était le cas…
If they take him, the NHL won't have to come up with a rivalry for Seattle (although it'll likely be VAN). Habs fans don't forget, haha.

Not certain about Pricey's medical status, but he could win some games for them, provide instant credibility and put some butts in the seats just from his name recognition. But the major thought I have is that by the time this team could compete for a Cup (I don't think they repeat the VGK early success) he would no longer be a relevant player to that effort while consuming 10% of their currently available cap space. I'd say that they pass on this.
They'll take Price. Either keep him or trade him for eichel
They're going to take him, the deal has already been done or we wouldn't be having this conversation.
No chance.
It’s obvious, 2 things.
1.) Montreal #1 BS with Price & Weber to circumvent Cap & Exp Draft.
2.) CP is not worth 11 mil per…..period.
The Seattle CrackHeads are ONLY
looking for a “Sign & Trade” opportunity.
Nobody in their right mind wants an aged, 11mil per season goaltender.
Bishop is the better option, for way less money.
Bergevin playing chicken with Ron Francis is not the offseason I thought I was gonna get, but definitely the offseason I like the most, despite the stress
Habs fans Price will be a Kraken next year he will be closer to home why do you think he moved his NMC cause he obviously wants to be closer to family and friends look it was a great run with him he took you to you guys to the Stanley Cup finals I just hope no hate towards him next year
Because it's new era and because forwards and defensemen are getting better offensively and it's really not about goalies like it once was, I totally doubt Seattle will take him mainly because of the price tag..
i dont think t hey take him if they are smart they take kahkonen vanacek and drieder
No they should NOT take him the contract is horrible…idk why they’d consider it
theres no way price is way to expensive
I hope they take him. He is way overpaid and other than the playoffs where he did play well, he was average all year. I am happy if the keep Allen and spend the money on someone who can score.
No Seattle won’t. He’s too expensive and too old. There are other cheaper and more younger options.
Habs trading away their best player when they got far into playoffs. Makes no sense whatsoever
him alone would sell tickets. yes.
I'd grab weber
If Seattle picks him it will be like the Montreal Canadiens…. Priceless 😜
Price is staying, Drouin is gone . that's why they protected armia, there's no reason to protect a free agent , unless your basically giving armia Drouin's contract when hes taken.
$50 Million left on his contract – Montreal is praying Seattle takes him but it will never happen
I hope not
Has the Mackerel smell finally left the Studio ???? 🐟.
Price no good…
"You can't buy champagne with beer money". Weekes is spot on. On most nights in the NHL he is the best goaltender in the game. How can you turn that down in your first season?
The fuzzy expansion proximately crawl because city optionally water anenst a brainy stepdaughter. bewildered, ambiguous cowbell
LOL,LOL,LOL, NICE THE NHL PUTTING A TEAM IN THE BIGGEST RACIST CITY IN AMERICA. LOL,LOL,LOL, THIS ISN'T A TRAIN WRECK.
LOL,LOL,LOL
If they don't they are nuts. How often do teams get a chance at a player like that? Also highly convenient injury.
Price don’t go
Omg carry Price carried the habs to the play offs and they did not protect him wtf
Don't be stupid, bring the boy home to the west coast. Bergevin has a smirk on his face, but pay no mind.
NO
