The Montreal Canadiens once had quite the goaltending controversy on their hands. Back in 2010, they had a pair of young goaltenders in Carey Price and Jaroslav Halak. Both were promising young goaltenders, both were restricted free agents in need of new contracts and both wanted to be starting goaltenders so signing both of them wold be impossible.
The Canadiens, then led by general manager Bob Gainey had a difficult choice to make. Price was taken fifth overall in the 2005 NHL Draft and showed a lot of promise. His numbers were okay in parts of three seasons with the Habs, but he was just 22 years old and was tabbed to be the franchise goaltender four years earlier when he was drafted.
