According to Waite, Price has a huge dilemma right now and he is wavering a lot. He will have to choose sooner or later between finishing his career with the Canadiens or asking for a trade with a Stanley Cup contender, to realize his dream of one day winning the Stanley Cup.
As you can imagine, there has been a lot of talk about this topic. On TSN, journalist Eric Macramalla mentioned that, in his opinion, even if Price is healthy, he should not be traded.
Even if it would be a major trade.
That's a very interesting point of view that Kent Hughes, and especially Geoff Molson, will definitely have to consider if a trade of the star goalie is ever considered.
Macramalla goes even further in his point by mentioning that Price is one of the great players who are not tradeable. A bit like Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin in the NHL.
It's understandable that trading Price will have huge marketing implications. Even if the Suzuki and Caufield are increasingly popular, Price is part of the furniture and, despite the fact that he is not always unanimous with the fans, he is an important member of the club's roster. Especially in terms of merchandise and publicity...
