The announcement regarding Carey Price is creating quite a buzz, and the debate over his legacy continues.

Carey Price was an exceptional goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens from 2007 to 2021, arguably one of the best in the team's history. Despite playing more games for the Canadiens than legends like Patrick Roy, Ken Dryden, and Jacques Plante, and having the most wins, comparisons across eras are challenging.

Ken Dryden, whose number 29 has been retired, believes Price's number 31 will also one day be honored at the Bell Centre. However, Brian Wilde, a journalist, strongly disagrees, citing Price's lack of a Stanley Cup as a significant drawback.

"Carey Price was excellent. But at the end of the day, he has a Vézina, a Hart, and many wins."

- Brian Wilde

The debate centers around whether Carey Price's achievements warrant having his number retired. Price led the Canadiens to an Eastern Conference Final and a Stanley Cup Final during his career but never won the ultimate prize.

Some argue that his contributions are significant enough despite not winning the Cup, while others feel that not having a Stanley Cup championship makes his legacy less complete.

For a storied franchise like the Canadiens, with numerous retired numbers already, this is an important and contentious issue.
