\t\t\t\t\tAll eyes are on Carey Price<\/a>‘s contract today. Several sources expect Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens to trade Price’s contract as early as today (September 1st), or otherwise in the coming days.<\/p>\n Because today was the date of Carey Price’s last big bonus payment.<\/p>\n “September 1, 2025.<\/p>\n We had circled this date on the calendar.<\/p>\n Carey Price is, since this morning, richer by $5,500,000.” – Marc-Olivier Beaudoin<\/p>\n While the first two names make perfect sense, the Penguins’ involvement is a bit more surprising.<\/p>\n That said, we now know the reason why Pittsburgh would be interested in Carey’s contract.<\/p>\n The Pittsburgh Penguins would acquire Carey Price’s contract in order to trade away other veterans<\/p>\n Marco D’Amico: Re Carey Price rumours: “Another surprising team that was suggested..the Pittsburgh Penguins; although they are $12M above the salary cap floor..the Penguins could strip it down early and trade some vets” – RG<\/p>\n So don’t be surprised-especially if they do acquire Carey Price-if the Penguins immediately follow it up by trading names like Kris Letang, Erik Karlsson<\/a>, Bryan Rust<\/a>, Rickard Rakell<\/a>, and others.<\/p>\n The next few days promise to be extremely interesting on the NHL trade market, especially for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.<\/p>\n I wonder if one or more of these veterans could interest Hughes.<\/p>\n Previously on HabsFanatics<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tHABSFANATICS.COM
