Every year the Montreal Canadiens start the season with the same wish of not having to rely on Carey Price so much. Unfortunately, that plan went to the back of the filing cabinet as Claude Julien ran with the 32-year-old in hopes of making the playoffs as Antti Niemi continued to be a non-option. Price saw 66 games by the end of the season and signing Keith Kinkaid on July 1st was an optimistic way to reduce that number.
Marc Bergevin mentioned this at his press conference on Wednesday afternoon.
