Relax, Montreal Canadiens fans. Star goaltender Carey Price was not selected by the Seattle Kraken ahead of Wednesday night’s expansion draft, multiple media outlets reported.
Per reports, defenseman Cale Fleury is expected to be selected by Seattle during the 8 p.m. ET draft show to be televised by ESPN2. The Kraken had until 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday to submit their draft selections to the NHL.
A former Hart and Vezina Trophy recipient, Price is the face of the modern-day Canadiens. He just led the club to the Stanley Cup Final against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
