During Serge Savard's golf tournament, Ken Dryden stated that the number 31 should no longer be used, citing Price's performances.
Brian Wilde, an analyst for the Sick Podcast, shared his opinion that Price does not deserve this honor, arguing that his career is mainly marked by longevity rather than Stanley Cup victories or multiple individual awards.
He added that the current leaders, Kent Hughes, Jeff Gorton, and Geoff Molson, will need to determine the criteria for jersey retirements.
According to Wilde, if the Canadiens had won the Stanley Cup in 2021, the debate would already be settled.
