Rejean Houle says Carey Price will be gone in the offseason

[BostonAJ]

Rejean Tremblay (sorry for the brain fart in the title) said on CKAC (radio) that Carey Price told him he wouldn't be around next season. He didn't specifically say that Price requested a trade, but the implication is there. Either that or Price believes management will trade him.

Take this with a grain of salt, tho. It is Rejean Tremblay after all. Also, Halak apparently requested a trade at the deadline, and nothing happened.

Kinda shitty of him to leak this kind of stuff during the playoffs, IMO.

Ha. When I was reading this I thought you were going to say..."Halak requested a trade at the end of the first period last night, and nothing happened".

I agree, it is kind os shitty to leak that info out but then again it's Montreal.

Well I guess he would know....

i could have told you this a month ago. i knew either halak or price would be gone this offseason. they can not afford 2 number 1 goalies. now everybody knows it is price. pretty simple.

He needs a new start somewhere less hockey mad. Maybe the Blackhawks or Capitals would be interested in taking a chance on him?

yea if he goes to the caps and does not play well they will not treat him like they do in canada because they will not watch if their team is losing.

I agree DE. Montreal fans and media are brutal on young goalies. They make a mistake or two and the fans want to hang them from the scoreboard at Bell Centre.

For the most part I think Habs fans have been very good to Price, and for the most part Price has handled himself very well.

That doesn't seem to stop people from posting or blogging that Carey cannot handle all the pressure every few weeks or so whether things are going well or poorly.

yea any city is tough on their players. well any city where the fans really like their team. they try to make it negative that the montreal fans expect this guy to live up to expectations. the press does not help.
