“I think with Carey Price, I think there’s a different dynamic at play here,” considered Friedman. “And that is – if you guys know Montreal at all, there is another level to what goes on in Montreal. And that is when things go badly, it doesn’t necessarily become about on-ice, it becomes off-ice. The rumors are crazy in Montreal. And we’ve seen a couple of cases where Galchenyuk, what he might be going through was brought up on the air. Some rumors about Price’s family were brought up on the air.
“If you told me that Carey Price told the Montreal Canadiens he wants out of there, I would believe it 100 percent. If Carey Price is getting traded, I’m not sure it’s a hockey reason. I think it’s an ‘I’m sick of this B.S.’ reason.
“When his wife has to go on Instagram and say everything is okay, I know if that was me I’d be furious. I don’t tag my wife in social media. I don’t ever tweet at her. I don’t want people out there knowing who I’m married to. I just don’t need her getting that stuff.
“With Price, if he ever said, ‘I want to go,’ I couldn’t blame him.”

Will be interesting to see what happens with Price.
On one hand he's been terrible this season, he's currently injured, and starting next season eats up $10.5 million of cap space. Plus if you trade for him you are also giving up assets to get him. On top of all that, he's got a full NMC.
On the other hand it's Carey freaking Price.
I imagine if he OK's a trade it will have to be somewhere he and his family can have some anonymity. I also would bet on him ending up out West if he does move. It's where he and his wife are from, and no way would the Habs want him out East.
I could see Chiarelli taking a swing at it if he hits the trade market, hopefully that doesn't happen. Hopefully Price would refuse any trade to Edmonton.
