Wew this thread is nutty. Price and Weber are not going anywhere, period. We took Weber specifically so that he would retire as a Montreal canadian. If you look at habs prospects we've planned to draft players to eventually grow to replace them when they get older.
Weber is a vet, but his skill set and his strengths are going to regress at a slower pace then others. I'd say he has a career into his 40s, same with Price.
They are the leaders of this team, and yes, if we're honestly planning a rebuild, we should look to move them for young players, but at the end of the day Price has played the most games as our goalie then any other franchise goalie Montreal has ever had. We're
going to retire his jersey for sure, and in 10 years time you'll see a whole generation of players who geared their game to match Webers and Prices.
Also, Montreal is not rebuilding. They won't need 3-4 years to be competitive again. A healthy Price and Weber already makes us a playoff team. and besides those two most of Montreal is under 25 years old. We're "building for the future" according to GMMB. And I'm happy with it.

So what if we retain salary? We got the cap space
