A few minutes ago, Kent Hughes and Kirby Dach held a press conference following the signing of the young center's contract. The CH general manager took the opportunity to confirm what everyone already knew: Carey Price will be placed on the long-term injured list starting today. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/MAGodin/status/1567543703979393025?t=t1mentYd1jYb1aTwHgt50A&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div> Hughes did have some very good news, however, as forward Paul Byron will be ready, or very close to being ready, for the start of the season. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/raphdoucet/status/1567545458490212354?t=jV10Nw_zzbO_BdjzIXvZ3A&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div> The small forward will finally be able to start a healthy season, as he is in the last year of his contract. Let's hope he stays healthy and is able to play well enough to earn another contract in the NHL afterwards.
