At a press conference on Monday, goaltender Carey Price spoke to the media and although he is not considering retirement in the short term, it is becoming increasingly clear that he will not be able to make a return to the game.
This puts the Habs in a rather precarious situation in front of the net and even if Jake Allen has given good performances since the beginning of the season, he cannot be considered as the future goaltender of the organization.
The same goes for Samuel Montembeault, Cayden Primeau and the other goalies in the organization, which means that for the first time in ages, the Habs are not really counting on a successor for Carey Price.
The 2023 crop could be one of the best in the last twenty years and all eyes will be on a certain Connor Bedard. As for the goaltending position, no goaltender is among the top prospects, but it would be quite surprising if the Habs decided to select a goaltender in the first round.
