The Montreal Canadiens are one of the most-talked-about teams in the rumor mill right now. This is especially the case when it comes to the possibility of the Canadiens trading away Carey Price’s contract.
During a recent episode of NHL Insider Notebook for Bleacher Report, Frank Seravalli provided the latest on the Price trade rumors.
“I think there is a door open to the Montreal Canadiens to move it (Price’s contract),” Seravalli said. “There are only so few teams that actually want to acquire it. The benefit would be if you’re a team that is already operating in LTIR space, you can continue to work that around.”
However, Seravalli then shared a different take by adding that he believes the Canadiens successfully being able to trade Price’s contract is a “long shot.”
“We’ll see if anyone steps up and trades for it, but it’s probably a bit of a long shot, but I know that the Canadiens are open to do it.”
This is certainly an interesting update from Seravalli on the Price trade rumors. Time will tell if the Canadiens will find a way to move out his contract, but it is certainly a storyline to pay attention to from here. If they do move out of his contract, it would certainly open the door for the Canadiens to make potential moves elsewhere.

But when the players hit the ice, it became apparent that the likes of Emil Heineman and Oliver Kapanen were outperforming him. A couple of weeks later, he landed in the AHL with the Laval Rocket, where he spent much of the last season, putting up 35 points in 47 games. In the 12 games he played in the NHL, he added two goals and failed to make much of an impact.
