Pierre LeBrun: Have heard that the Montreal Canadiens won’t be protecting goaltender Carey Price, but will protect Jake Allen.
Price agreed to waive his no-movement clause for the expansion draft.
Price has a lot left on his contract and they don’t think that Seattle would select him.
Chris Johnston: Price is owed a $11 million signing bonus in September. That would be a big upfront payout if the Kraken were to select him.
The waiving of the no-movement clause is only for the expansion draft. If he’s claimed by Seattle and they were to try and trade him, he would need to approve the trade.
