Some great playoff runs, injuries, a historic season, the return of “prime” Price in the summer of 2021 and a retirement that’s getting closer and closer.
In short, it’s fair to say that he’s been an excellent goaltender who’s never been able to deal with an excellent club in front of him. Always a good club, but nothing more, or even mediocre at times.

He also answered a few questions from Alexandre Brière for his report, which can be seen on RDS.
Price mentioned that the Canadiens asked him if he’d be interested in a coaching position or a role in player development, and here’s his answer:
“Maybe eventually, but for now, I have small children. I want to make sure I’m with them, it’s important to me. But when the time is right, I’d definitely be interested in that kind of role.” – Carey Price
However, just as an excellent player doesn’t necessarily make a good coach (Wayne Gretzky), nobody knows whether Price would be competent as a goalkeeping coach.
Price may not be a great teacher, but he can certainly be a great mentor to youngsters, as he’s always remained very calm.
As we all know, playing for the Montreal Canadiens isn’t a relaxing job.
And let’s not forget that it would most likely mean moving to Montreal, which is probably less appealing to Price.
A remote position could be negotiated, but that’s all speculation, because it won’t happen soon.
