He's got a guaranteed contact at 750K I bet he plays another year in Laval and gets the back up job next year

Yes, he can be sent down without waivers. I think its best he goes back to Laval under new management and continue to work on his game.

Price's performance last year didnt give anyone confidence to go with a youngster as a back-up next year.

Bingo. If Price had been Price last year, Lindgten would be his backup next season.

One more season like last year's from Price and noamount of smooth talking to Molson and the like will save MB from the unemployment line.

They promised they'd do that under the new "we'll be more transparent" pledge.

Did they disclose that he might miss the season due to a torn ACL?

McGuire was saying the other day, during his Habs GM interview process, he felt Jr overestimated how good the team was in 2012, and unwilling to accept any type of rebuild scenario.
