It's going to be interesting to see if Elliott Price, after all his years in Montreal, will become a 'fan' of the Leafs. Traditionally "The Fan" announcers have cheered for the "home team"

According to an article in the Montreal Gazette, that won't be a problem.

"As for his sports loyalties, they won’t change. He’s a fan of neither the Canadiens nor the Leafs, and his Expos aren’t coming back soon. “I hate the Bruins,” he said, and that’s something Montreal and Toronto fans can agree on."

Elliott Price lands post with Sportsnet radio in Toronto

Why they would hire that 'guy' speaks to my 'take' on modern era management.  All they are ... are recyclers.   They know dick and I don't mean Smythe.   So now they have to part company and go their separate ways?  Wait!!!!  One/two... ... ...I'm over it.  Meanwhile....

.....Morning ain't prime time for sports radio anyway.  So who they hire doesn't much matter.  And what THEY 'think' matters even less.  It won't change a g-d'd thing.  It is, in fact, meaningless... ... ...and less.

Longtime Montreal journalist Mike Cohen has an interesting blog post about how Elliott Price managed to stay in the game despite losing the play-by-play duties of the Expos when the team moved to Washington, and then being downsized by Bell, while making his presence known to Rogers.

And he ends his column with a very provocative suggestion about why he may have been brought into the Toronto market:

"I wonder whether there is another reason why they brought him to Toronto? Jerry Howarth has been the play by play man for Blue Jays baseball for 36 seasons. With all of Elliott’s experience, he is a great man to have on deck if Howarth decides to retire or needs a fill-in."

Total speculation, of course, but stranger things have happened. It will be worth watching to see if he ever fills in on any of the Blue Jay broadcasts in the upcoming season. 

Elliott Price has rebooted his radio career and written a book for others to follow

Same host, different time.  6:30, Friday and Monday. Full value

 R.R. would make an excellent spokesperson for High Street fish 'n chips
 

He' likely on a 6 month non-compete. However, he's said on Twitter that he has no interest in another morning radio show.
