GHT120 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 It will certainly be interesting ... frankly, I don't care if it is important to any player to get back on the ice, the team has to do what is best for the team ... it may or may not be for him to play again this season. THAT said, since he has not even returned to skating in full equipment (unless he managed to somehow do in it in secret) an update to say that "I want to play before the end of the season but don't have a timeline" seems somewhat strange.

dlbalr Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Right now, the best thing for the team is to get clarity on whether or not he's coming back this year. What happens with Price could very well go a long way towards shaping how they approach the trade deadline; this continued maybe/maybe not isn't ideal. (And if I have some time over the next little bit, I might turn that into an article on the main site explaining it from both scenarios.)

I am sure Hugh-Gort have detailed information on Price’s progress and a plan for the trade baseline I do not think they will show their cards on Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was answering Brian’s post about Price’s situation affection the strategy at the trade deadline. I do not think goaltending is a pressing need at the deadline Price or no Price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen will eventually be back and Montembeault/Hammond are around in the short-term. Nothing else needs to be done there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And if I have some time over the next little bit, I might turn that into an article on the main site explaining it from both scenarios.) My answer is with regards to clarity: 1) on the first sentence: I believe they have clarity but that they will not share details on Friday's update 2) on the second sentence, I think they already have options on strategies/plans with regards to the trade deadline. Price is such a big piece of the payroll and the role on the team that they have probably addressed that already in their planning My guess is that they are already executing on their plan, on parts that they can act on now. Price's piece will become visible to us once his situation has to be made official due to NHL/NHLPA rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Byron's on IR retroactive to February 25th so he's out for at least a week past that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They clearly don't want to embarrass him by waiving him (he has no trade value) and they'll need roster spots opened up soon as others come off IR. If he was to miss a bit of time due to this and could go on IR, it could actually help solve the pending roster crunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Well, this was the one risk of moving McNiven - the Habs no longer have an NHL-contracted goalie as they'll go with Poulin and PTO Tristan Berube as their goalie tandem for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 If there is a record for number of man games lost due to goalie injuries then the Habs must be making a run at it . Sheesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzer Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Mr. Hammond, if you won't embrace the tank, the tank will embrace you. To IR with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Odd time for a bunch of injury updates but here we go... It appears Edmundson is probable to play Wednesday as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
