During a signing session at the Bois-de-Boulogne Sports Complex, Carey Price shared insights about his future with the Montreal Canadiens organization after being directly asked by Kent Hughes.
He mentioned an intriguing possibility:
“They inquired if I would be interested in a coaching role or a position in player development. Perhaps in the future, but right now, I want to focus on my young children and spend time with them, which I find essential. When the time is right, I would certainly be open to such a role.”

This indicates that he might be interested in such opportunities down the line, but for the moment, he prioritizes family time, which is commendable. Price could potentially emulate former players like Paul Byron or Francis Bouillon, who transitioned into roles within the Canadiens organization post-retirement.

Price also offered advice to Martin St. Louis’s young team:
“It’s crucial to trust the process, as many young players are learning what it means to be professionals and how to behave on and off the ice. It’s important to avoid complacency and instead focus on hard work and maintaining a winning mindset.”

Additionally, he expressed his pleasant surprise at Kent Hughes’s recent major acquisition, Patrik Laine, praising his exceptional shooting ability, which Price considers among the best he has encountered in his career.
