Habs GM discloses plan for Carey Price's return next season
As the anticipation builds for the upcoming NHL season, Montreal Canadiens fans are eager to see the return of their star goaltender, Carey Price. Canadiens General Manager, Kent Hughes, has unveiled plans on how Price's return will be orchestrated.
Hughes revealed that the team is considering having Price on the roster as they begin the season, followed by placing him on in-season Long-Term Injured Reserve (LTIR) as needed.
“We often have discussions and opted against it, which is to avoid going into offseason LTI. When you do that, even if we use 2 million, let’s say, if we put Carey on offseason LTI, his money is gone,” Hughes was quoted as saying by the Athletic.
“We lose the flexibility during the year, like last year, with all the injuries and overages, which carry into the following year. With each passing year, we’re going to be more mindful to try not to do that.”
“LTI is not a simple position, some people think it’s simple, just use the money that the player occupied. It’s a little more complicated than that,” added Hughes. "If we find opportunities again as we had with Sean Monahan, we’ll do it and put Carey on off-season LTI, but we think as of right now we’re safe to go in-season with Carey.”
Price's presence has been pivotal for the Canadiens, and fans are eager to see him back in action. He has had a stellar NHL career that spans 712 games with 361 wins, 261 losses, and 79 overtime losses.
Carey Price's wife Angela Price on her husband's future
Previously, Angela Price, wife of NHL goaltender Carey Price, addressed some rumors related to her husband on Instagram. She replied to one fan asking about her husband's future with the Montreal Canadiens.
"Had to go hit up Twitter to see what this was about. From what I read someone mentioned they wouldn't be surprised if Carey took a role with the Habs in the future. So just speculation. Carey's still under contract for 3 more years."
Carey Price's teammate Paul Byron to announce retirement
Paul Byron, a long-serving member of the league, is on the cusp of making a significant decision that will mark the end of his career on the ice.
The announcement came via a tweet from NHL insider and respected hockey writer, Richard Labbe. Labbe's tweet revealed that the Montreal Canadiens General Manager, Kent Hughes, confirmed Byron's impending retirement.
He tweeted:
"#Habs Kent Hughes now confirming that Paul Byron will retire. He will meet with the team in September to discuss a position with the club."
Price was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in the sixth round of the 2007 NHL Draft, with the 179th overall pick. Over his NHL career spanning 521 games, Byron accumulated 98 goals, 110 assists, and a total of 208 points.
