www.foxsports.comHere are the latest updates on Carey Price based on recent available reporting:
- Price’s contract situation remains tied to his long-term injury status. Reports through late 2024 into 2025 indicated he was on LTIR and not expected to return to active play, with Montreal seeking cap flexibility by moving his contract to the San Jose Sharks .
- In late 2025 and into 2026, outlets continued to describe Price as effectively retired from active play, with his $10.5 million cap hit remaining a concern for Montreal’s finances and potential future moves limited by LTIR rules .
- There were occasional mentions of career-retirement status and ongoing discussions about whether any team would or could use his contract, but there was no substantive indication of a return to play as of May 2026 .
- Outside of contractual and retirement status, Price’s personal property transactions (e.g., selling a home) were reported in 2024, but those are incidental to his playing status and not indicative of a return to hockey .
