According to TSN's Shawn Simpson, he believes that Carey Price is good option for the Golden Knights but says the Habs will have to eat some of that $10.5 million dollar salary.

Why could this deal work? Carey Price is 34 and wants to win a Stanley Cup. Vegas is in a win now mindset while the Canadiens are in a full rebuild. If Price regains his form before the injury, he would actually be hurting the Canadiens by helping them win games, when they actually want to be losing them.
