The often understated Carey Price made some rather intriguing comments regarding the current state of the Montreal Canadiens and his career. Rick and Joe dissect the comments made by the Canadiens franchise netminder.
It was reported by Alexandre Pratt of La Presse that Jake Gardiner rejected a three-year $15.75 million contract offer from the Canadiens before accepting the deal offered by Carolina.
The Canadiens were interested in Matt Duchene during Free Agency, before he signed with the Nashville Predators. Chris Johnston of Sportsnet shed some light on how negotiations went for the Canadiens, and just how close Duchene may have been to donning le bleu, blanc et rouge.

Rick and Joe take a look back at the Rookie Tournament in Belleville before turning our attention to Habs Training Camp.

Training Camp is officially underway! With that comes quite a few questions and concerns that Rick and Joe are going to try and tackle. Will Bergevin’s additions be enough? Will Drouin realize his potential? Is Jesperi Kotkaniemi ready for more responsibility? Will the youth movement make an impact, as suggested by Bergevin? These are just some of the questions Rick and Joe will tackle in this rapid fire Big Topic!
