Today is the day; Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens is reportedly set to be traded, according to TVA Sports host Jean-Charles Lajoie.
After several reports that swirled around recently regarding a Carey Price trade, today may finally be the day that all the rumors can be put to rest.
"The costly September 1st will see C. Price's contract move to other skies. K. Hughes is reportedly inclined to trade picks, notably first-rounders, to add a natural center to his roster. A complex but effective deal, as the GM likes, is taking shape. The Western Conference is one to watch... And all this is very exciting! 25-26 will be a fascinating season!!"
Three destinations named for Carey Price's departure from Montreal
According to Marco D'Amico's recent publishing that now has over 186,000 views and is going viral, the Blackhawks, Sharks and Canadiens are the destinations currently being circled down for Price's imminent deal today.
"Sources suggesting San Jose, Chicago or Pittsburgh as destinations.
The Canadiens are trading Price's contract to open themselves to the possibility of another trade."

At the March 7 NHL trade deadline, the Chicago Blackhawks acquired Shea Weber from the Utah Mammoth in a cap dump trade, and now a similar scenario awaits.
A Price/Weber reunion, in Chicago?
Both players appear to be unofficially retired but still remain on contract.
Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes is reportedly willing to give up a 1st round draft pick to whichever team takes on Price's hefty $10.5M AAV, which has one year remaining.
