Canadiens Re-Sign Carey Price to Six-Year Contract

MONTREAL – Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin announced today the signing of goaltender Carey Price to a six-year contract (2012-13 to 2017-18). As per club policy, financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Price, 24, completed his fifth season with the Canadiens in the NHL in 2011-12. In 65 games, the 6’03’’, 221 lbs goaltender maintained a record of 26 wins, 28 losses and 11 overtime/shootout losses. He recorded four shutouts with a 2.43 goals against average. Price stopped 1,754 of the 1,914 shots he faced for a .916 save percentage.

Since 2007-08, Price displays a 124-104-35 record in 271 regular season games. He ranks tied for 11th in team’s history with 16 shutouts. He shows a 2.56 goals against average and a .916 save percentage.

Price was the Molson Cup recipient for the months of October, November, December and February, to earn the honours for the 2011-12 season. The netminder took part in his third All-Star Game, held last January in Ottawa.

A native of Anahim Lake, British Columbia, Price was the Canadiens’ first pick (first round, fifth overall) at the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.

You must be livid about the Habs signing an "average" goalie like Price for the long term?

Bryz: "Hey at least I'm not the most overpaid goalie anymore".

Comparing Bryz to Price is lame.

It's not that much of an overpayment at all, if it even is one.

Put Price on a team like the Flyers and you'd have your long due cup by now.

That's pretty close to the reality. They almost won with Micheal Leighton.

Remind us again what Price has won? Two years ago he was the biggest piece of shit in Montreal...now he's a hero.
