Major announcement coming for Carey Price: Ken Dryden settles the debate
The younger generation undoubtedly knows Carey Price and his achievements with the Canadiens, and one of the greatest goalies in the organization's history, Ken Dryden, has now weighed in.
Indeed, for several years, there has been a debate about whether Carey Price's #31 should be up to the rafters of the Bell Centre.
For some, Carey Price was one of the best of his generation, in addition to being the most victorious goalie in the team's history.
For others, the fact that he didn't lead his team to a Stanley Cup win is enough to deny him such an honor. After all, every retired number is associated with players who have won the precious trophy.
Carey Price's jersey retired? Ken Dryden weighs in
For the former star, the question doesn't even arise. Carey Price fully deserves this honor and should receive it in the near future.
We should not forget that Carey Price has won everything a goalie can win except for the Stanley Cup, which is a team trophy.
In an era where no Canadian team has won the ultimate prize, where the Canadiens had average teams transformed into good teams thanks to the brilliance of their goalie, his performances are noteworthy.
We will know in the coming years what the organization decides to do. Carey Price still has two seasons left on his contract, after which he will announce his retirement and thus become eligible for his number to be retired.
