Habs GM Kent Hughes provides lukewarm update on G Carey Price

Former NHL Hart Trophy-winning goaltender Carey Price hasn't played this season thanks to his rehabilitation of both his knee and his mind after entering the NHLPA's substance abuse program. 

However, he suffered an unfortunate setback with his knee, which has required him to start the physical rehab all over again after having undergone surgery in July. 

And regardless of the "uncertainty" surrounding his availability for the rest of this season, Habs general manager Kent Hughes stated earlier today that his team has no plans to trade a goaltender. 

"We're still in a period of uncertainty with Carey, and we'll still be in one until Carey plays a few games and we see how his knee responds," Hughes said. "We don't have plans to trade a goalie right now."

Price was once again on the ice today at The Bell Sports Complex: 

Price, who will be entering his 15th season in the NHL, is in the midst of an eight-year, $84 million contract. He's a former Hart Trophy winner as the NHL's Most Valuable Player during the 2014-15 season, as well as a two-time Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL's top goaltender.
