This could be Price's last season with les gars.  No surprise should Bergevin make a move in the summer, Price, et al, for prospects and a goalie back.

He is a UFA after next season, and he's endured too many seasons where the team relied on him to carry them, and now watches as his GM can't again find any scoring.  He's done his duty with this team, gave them 10+ seasons, and he's starting to get on.  He's probably leaning to moving on to a team that if it adds him, can make a serious run at the Cup.

That, we all know, is never going to happen in Mtl, Mtl knows that too.

He is going, going, gone.

Bergevin would be crazy to just let him play out his contract then bolt.
