Regardless of what your feelings are. He was still vital to that Stanley Cup run.

As it now stands, there are 4 players on that 2020-2021 team that are now retired:

  • Carey Price
  • Shea Weber
  • Paul Byron
  • Eric Staal

Congrats to all these players. Go Habs Go!!

  1. I remember how bad Staal was in the regular season for us, only to center that insanely good line with Perry and Armia during the cup run.

  2. For whatever reason, I initially read that as him signing a 1 day contract with the Canadiens to retire a Hab. I was very confused

    Sorry, but one of these things is not like the others, in multiple ways.

  4. I don’t think Pricer or Webbs are retired. Retiring would forfeit the remaining salary, so they’ll stay on LTIR until their contracts run out, then retire.
