'... I thought we were for sure headed to Seattle.' While Cale Fleury was ultimately selected from the Canadiens in the expansion draft, Carey Price's wife Angela says she was mentally preparing for the Kraken to chose her husband.
expansion draft last month. And while the Kraken ultimately selected defenceman Cale Fleury from Montreal instead, Price's wife Angela says she was mentally preparing for Seattle to chose her husband.. In the post, she explained that she was opposed to the decision to waive Price's no-movement clause for the draft. But, at the same time, she said the decision had to be made to protect Allen due to injury concerns with her husband.
"It hurt my heart to read that people thought we wanted out of Montreal. I was so thankful when it came out the next day that Carey was going to need surgery, but at the same time Carey’s agent was calling to say that Seattle didn’t seem too concerned about his injury and him being picked up could really happen," Angela Price wrote."So naturally, I spent the next couple of days living on Twitter, reading every little thing and over thinking it all.
Price goes on to explain that moving to Seattle wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world for her family. She herself grew up in Washington state and still has lots of friends and family there. Still, the Canadiens are the only team her family has ever known and leaving them would have been extremely difficult.
"We continued to discuss how, at the end of the day, it is a business and players get traded away all the time. I understood that, but it still didn’t feel right," she wrote."I couldn’t wrap my mind around Carey doing that. It was then that I realized although playing in Seattle would make our lives so much easier, our heart,Now that the expansion draft has come and gone, the Price family can begin to prepare for next season with the comfort of knowing they are staying put.
"With your world dependent on what seemed like a game of chicken was bizarre and something I hope to never experience again," Angela Price wrote."I really feel for those families who experience it once or multiple times throughout their guys’ career."
