from TSN,

TSN Hockey analyst Dave Poulin was fully expecting to be asked his opinion on Carey Price’s chances of eventually being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Following word from Montreal Canadiens general manger Kent Hughes on Thursday that Price is unlikely to play the 2022-23 season due to a knee injury, reaction has poured in on the netminder’s legacy.

Price, 35, was at the top of his game in the 2014-15 season, taking home the Vezina Trophy, Hart Trophy, Ted Lindsay Award and the William M. Jennings Trophy.

The Anahim Lake, B.C. native logged a record of 44-16-6 that season with a 1.96 goals-against average and .933 save percentage.

Over 15 seasons, Price has gone 361-261-79 with a 2.51 goals-against average and .917 save percentage.

Poulin, a former assistant general manager with the Toronto Maple Leafs, says he is “edging towards” Price’s likelihood of becoming a Hall of Famer, but gave himself some leeway to further review his opinion.
