Haha wow.

No discount at all given.

$84 million, biggest goalie contract / cap hit ever no?

RIP Price's career.

Enjoy bailing the Habs out for 9 more years I guess. He could've done some great things behind a properly built team.

That's a lot of cash. Huge sigh of relief from Habs fans I'm guessing.

Lots of tax money for the Quebec government.

Love Price, but it will be tough to build around that contract.

That's a lot of money and tern for a goalie who's going to be 31 by the time this contract kicks in.

Don't really think Bergevin had much of a choice.

This leaves the UFA drama all to Tavares for next season.

I can't believe he stayed there. That team is a bottom 5-10 team without him, and likely only going to get worse given the ages of their key players.

I guess it's pretty near impossible to walk away from $84 million, but this is a guy who's reputation as the best goalie in the world is pretty much a lock. Even if he waited for free agency, and ended up getting hurt for half the season or more, somebody would have ponied up for him next off season you would think.

Ah well, have fun carrying that team for the rest of your career Carey.
