The question I have for you today is this: will Carey Price’s #31 be retired some day after he hangs up the pads, glove, and blocker?

Obviously, this isn’t a straight forward question, which is what makes it fun to think about. Are his current accolades enough to get the job done? How great do his overall numbers stack up against others? Has he been the best long enough to warrant such an honour?
