Carey Price not expected to play this season after seeing no improvement in knee injury

The Montreal Canadiens made a savvy move on Thursday, acquiring the contract of Sean Monahan from the Calgary Flames and in the process also added a conditional first-round draft selection.

To make room for Monahan’s contract, Habs general manager Kent Johnson plans on eventually placing goaltender Carey Price on long-term injured reserve. The former Hart Trophy winner has seen zero improvement in his knee injury through rehab.

Price is not expected to suit up during the 2022-23 season and it’s possible that this could be the end of his career.

Alex Ovechkin gives Carey Price special welcome back during Caps-Habs game

Carey Price made his season debut on Friday for the Montreal Canadiens. The 2015 Hart and Vezina Trophy winner missed the first 74 games of the 2021-22 season due to offseason knee surgery and a stint in the NHL’s substance abuse program.

Price stopped 19 of 21 shots in his first game in net, a 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders. On Saturday, Price sat on the bench and served as the backup to Sam Montembeault during the Habs’ 8-4 loss to the Capitals.

During a break in play in the game, TVA Sports caught a wonderful moment between Alex Ovechkin and Price at the end of each team’s bench. Ovi gave Price a fist bump to welcome the legendary goaltender back.

Carey Price returns to the ice and skates without goalie gear on

The Montreal Canadiens have been engulfed in chaos over the last 24 hours. With the team off to a dreadful start where they’ve won only six of their first 23 games, the Habs fired general manager Marc Bergevin, assistant GM Trevor Timmins, and senior VP of public affairs Paul Wilson. Scott Mellanby also resigned from his role as assistant general manager. The team hired former Rangers GM Jeff Gorton as its new vice president of hockey operation and is currently looking for a new GM that can speak both English and French.

Behind the scenes, the team did get some good news as Carey Price skated for what is believed to be the second time since checking himself into a player assistance program in early October.

Sportsnet posted video of Price skating without pads on at the Canadiens’ Brossard practice facility.

Report: Seattle Kraken taking ‘deep dive internally’ on selecting Carey Price in Expansion Draft

The Montreal Canadiens might have, to borrow from WWE vocabulary, worked themselves into a shoot, brother.

Friday night, reports surfaced that Carey Price waived his no-movement clause so the Habs could make him available in the Expansion Draft and protect backup Jake Allen (2.68 GAA, .907 SV%). The thought process here was that Price’s contract is so massive (bad) and that there are so many other good/better value goaltenders available, the Kraken would not think twice about drafting Price.

Except. They totally are. And now a section of Habs Twitter is losing its mind about it.
