Habs Sign Goalie
The Habs' future is great as they will have Cristobal Huet as the No. 1 goalie and Carey Price, Jaroslav Halak, and Yann Danis as back-up.
The Canadiens have just signed Carey Price to a three-year contract that will pay the 19-year-old US$2.8 million ($850,000 plus a 10-per-cent signing bonus, per year).
This past season, Carey Price led Canada in winning the Gold at the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in Sweden. He was named the tournament's top goaltender, the tournament's MVP, and was also named to the tournament's All-Star Team. He played for the WHL's Tri-City Americans this year. And last night, he earned a victory in his first pro game, making 27 saves to earn first star in the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs win over the Grand Rapids Griffins.
It's too bad the Maple Laugh$ don't have such a promising line-up of goaltenders.
