The Montreal Canadiens signed Carey Price to an eight-year, $84-million contract extension a week ago, making him the richest goaltender in NHL history. With that came plenty of speculation about the details of his contract.
Sources have provided Sportsnet with a breakdown of the deal, which features an average annual value of $10.5 million. It’s worth noting there is never a season where Price makes more than $2 million in base salary.
