Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

Kent Hughes mentioned wanting to not use Carey Price's LTIR cap space if at all possible in an attempt to get the Canadiens closer to normal salary cap compliance. The hosts discuss what options are in front of the team, and how Hughes can navigate another difficult situation, even if it means trading the remainder of Price's contract.

Speaking of goaltenders, Marc-Antoine Godin reported today that there haven't been any real negotiations between the team and starting goalie Samuel Montembeault. Scott and Laura discuss the potential reasons why there hasn't been any movement, and what it means if Montembeault keeps his resurgent form up heading into the opening weeks of the regular season.

Finally, it's Friday and that means your hosts are ending the show by answering all of your listener questions in the Friday Mailbag!
