The Tricolore had just lost in five games to the powerful Tampa Bay Lightning. Since then, many things have changed in Montreal.
The number 31 still hasn't played a game since July 7th when his team was eliminated. TVA Sports analyst JP Bertrand even believes that this could be Price's last game in a Habs uniform.
"I wonder if he didn't play his last game with the Habs last July," he said during his podcast.
It must be said that Price seemed close to a return to the game, but he had to start his rehabilitation from his knee injury from scratch.
Now 34 years old, the former Vezina Trophy winner could be in demand at the upcoming trade deadline, but his condition could mean he won't be traded at that time.
We already know that teams like the Colorado Avalanche or the Edmonton Oilers could be interested in acquiring a goalie, but if Price doesn't progress, they will have to look elsewhere.
If Price is not ready to return to the game before the March 21 trade deadline, it would not be surprising to see him never put on the blue-white-red jersey again, he could leave during the summer via a trade or even retire. We're speculating here...
