Confirmed with Link: Carey Price Press Conference 12pm ET (Not Announcing His Retirement)
- Thread starter red devil
- Start date
It's probably going to be a waste of time like last time.

He will announce that he is healthy and ready to go and Hughes will announce a trade to a cup contender for 2 first round picks, a top notch center and a 5th. Book it!

At least he's around the city/team to some capacity. Would you rather he was like Captain Weber last year who couldn't be bothered?

well he cant really announce hes retiring if he wants to keep getting hes LTIR money but im pretty sure hes done
Terrified if that actually happened, stay the course, we're trending in the right direction 2 years out from a playoff push, 3 from contender.
As for price, I expect he announces he's shutting it down for the season and he'll try again next year
Le Tricolore
Boo! BOOOO!
I mean, the media want to talk to him. It's not going to be any new information, but it isn't a waste of time.
When was the last time big news was broken in a press conference anyway? In the 90s before the Internet was as widespread?
Le Tricolore
Boo! BOOOO!
Oh, f*** off with that "couldn't be bothered" garbage.
Weber was on LTIR. He's not from Montreal, and has family and friends in BC. He was 100% sure he was not going to be playing. Why have him live in Montreal when he'd rather be elsewhere?
I doubt Price is going to spend the entire season in Montreal either. There's literally no point in doing that.

It's no more garbage than it is to say that Carey meeting with the media is nothing but a waste of time.

If you or your brother-in-law try to screw up insurance company for 2000$ it's a scandal and the insurance company will do everything to prove you're frauding them. But when it come with Price it's okay to screw up big money (10,5M) because CP have an huge fanclub behind him. The insurance company is happy to pay. Because if they don't, they'll have an huge negative publicity.
But shhhht ! let's pretend I didn't wrote this because I'm in the land of his diehard fans.

Price is a couple games away from needing a knee replacement. There’s no scam here. He has a legitimate reason for being on LTIR. It’s not like Hossa who became magically allergic to his equipment when his contract fell to only $1 million per season.
Seems likely. Can't see him playing anytime soon.
It has to be that kind of announcement. Otherwise, why have a press conference? Has to be something significant.

He’s announcing that he is the new starting QB of the Green Bay Packers
He says he's not announcing his retirement right now but still isn't pain free walking up the stairs.
Didn't we already know this? What is the point of this?

That's not even close to how any of this works. Like at all:
1) NHL contracts are guaranteed. Price gets his money one way or another.
2) Price being on LTIR means the NHL has verified that he cannot play. Which means he's either not frauding anyone or there's a massive conspiracy risking a multi-billion dollar business to benefit one guy.
3) Price's contract being insured is likely through the plan governed by the NHLPA.
I'd pretend you didn't write it because it doesn't make any sense.
To satisfy the Montreal sports media and have something to talk about.

Probably all decorum for the insurance company that has to pay his insane salary.

Yup.
He has to keep up the appearance of an earnest attempt to return to hockey.
Not saying he doesn't want to return to hockey but he definitely has to make himself suitably available to inquiries to satisfy the NHL, NHLPA, and of course his contract's insurers.

Huge announcement that there's nothing to announce.

Is he going to learn French now instead of sitting on the couch eating doritos all day?

Not sure why anyone would expect him to announce his retirement. He’s not going to walk away from that kind of money.
