Kent Hughes had a request for Carey Price for a role in the organization, and there are developments
Carey Price is considering a future role within the Montreal Canadiens organization, and fans are fully supportive of this idea.
For now, he is focused on spending time with his young children, but the fact that he's open to a position in player development or coaching bodes well for the team.
Price has always been a leader, both on and off the ice, and his experience would be invaluable for the team's younger players as well as its veterans. In a recent interview, he hinted at his interest in future involvement:
«They asked me if a coaching position or a role in player development might interest me. Maybe eventually, but for now, I have young children. I want to make sure I'm there for them-it's important to me. But when the time is right, I'd definitely be interested in that type of role.»

This potential path is similar to that of former Canadiens players like Paul Byron and Francis Bouillon, who found roles within the organization after their playing careers. Given his calm demeanor and technical mastery as a goaltender, Price could be an excellent mentor for goalies or even a player development advisor.
His message to young players, as shared by those currently under Martin St-Louis' guidance, emphasizes hard work and maintaining a winning attitude, even when things are going well:
«It's important to believe in the process. A lot of young players are learning how to be professionals, both on the ice and in the community. You have to make sure not to get complacent, but rather work hard and keep a winning mindset.»

Price also expressed great admiration for Patrik Laine. His praise for Laine's shot power and precision underscores just how much of an impact Laine could have for the Canadiens, even despite his injury. Price clearly looks forward to seeing him play.
