As the sun rises on a new month, the Montreal Canadiens find themselves at the center of swirling rumors and mounting anticipation.

September 1st isn’t just another date on the calendar for Habs fans—it marks a turning point that could reshape the franchise’s future in ways few could have imagined.

With Carey Price’s final big bonus officially paid, speculation is reaching fever pitch about a blockbuster deal involving the legendary goaltender and not one, but possibly three teams.

Whispers from inside the league point to the San Jose Sharks as a key player in this developing saga, with insiders and analysts tracking every move and hint.

Could today be the day a seismic shift shakes the very foundations of the NHL? The chatter is growing louder, and yet, the official word remains elusive.

What does this mean for Montreal? For Carey Price? And for the Sharks, who might be positioning themselves for a move that sends shockwaves across the league?

With so much smoke and very little clarity, fans are left wondering what’s truly happening behind closed doors. One thing is certain: this is a story you won’t want to miss as the drama unfolds.

We could be in for a very busy day today with the Montreal Canadiens.

It’s finally September 1st, Carey Price’s last big bonus has been paid, and a trade for Price is reportedly underway involving three teams.

Well, this morning, there’s an update!

It Could Be the San Jose Sharks for Carey Price and the Montreal Canadiens

At least, there’s a lot of smoke pointing that way today!

Marco D’Amico: Regarding the Carey Price trade:

“Sources have heard the most amount of noise around the San Jose Sharks”; “Acquiring a contract like Price’s would give them the necessary insurance to trade.. higher priced players without dipping under the salary cap floor”

Of course, we’re still waiting for the final and official confirmation, but don’t be surprised if the Montreal Canadiens announce a trade with the San Jose Sharks today involving Carey Price’s contract.

“A lot of smoke around the Sharks, but nothing is done.” – Nicolas Cloutier

Last night may very well have been Carey Price’s final evening as an official member of the Montreal Canadiens, which is pretty special when you think about it.

This is definitely a story to follow closely today!
