Half Truth
He was offered a job after their house was sold here and their Retirement home was built in Kamloops.
Now Angela confirmed their Primary home flipped to BC and they're shopping for a Condo downtown close to the Arena.
She was on a podcast 2 weeks ago talking about MTL being impressed by him training Montembault for the World Cup and how he won Gold there stepping up making believers outta fans outside MTL that didnt consider him Starter worthy.

MTL contacted Price about a week after the World Cup and offered him a role on his terms that to be determined .
Its part time and will bend to his desired role. So if he only wants to work with Monty , thats all he'll do.
Its to get him involved behind the bench cause he's a 2nd generation Goalie Coach after all
Why wouldnt you want to exploit that?

Dvorak is a negative value asset. No one is giving up a good player for him. He will cost Montreal assets to dump.

Look at what Hayes got, and he's 10 times the player Dvorak is.
