10am

 

[Prairie Habs]

Would be asinine. Doubt it.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

nope

Edit: yep

 

[Lolonegoal]

lol no

 

[Baksfamous112]

With Weber most likely LTIR, does that open up the idea of also letting Price go and go full rebuild mode with already a couple of strong core pieces already in the system?

 

[GoLeafsGo96]

He went on a magical run but Seattle would not take that contract if he was exposed. Would be a shrewd way to keep their goaltending duo honestly.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I think that was moreso "make sure Seattle doesn't take Allen" than "Price is available". I don't think Seattle would touch Price's contract, but if they would, I think Montreal would pay them not to take him.

 

[Michoulicious]

Bergevin will NEVER do that.

Never.

Only way would be if Price asks for it, or if he had a career threatening injury.

 

[AvatarAang]

Bergevin isn’t exposing his job security to Seattle

No, it's likely expose Price and protect Allen and hope Seattle doesn't call your bluff.

If Seattle does take Price, you have 10.5 mill to get a goalie.

Can Seattle draft players like Price and trade them for other assets in a near future, or do they have to keep all their drafted players ?

 

[llamateizer]

I want to see the world burn.
I'd love to have Price exposed.

 

[Treb]

That would be admitting they missed their window and signing Petry/Gallagher were mistakes.

Price would be by far the best goalie Seattle could claim and his cap hit is still at a manageable level.

 

[Jabba11]

Let's hope that Montreal will learn from Pittsburgh and letting Fleury go. Still trying to find their number 1 goalie since Flower's departure.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

you've got bigger problems if you're scared to lose Jake F'ng Allen lol

 

[Pietrangelo]

Bergevin isn’t exposing his job security to Seattle

He’s got 1 year left on his contract and doesn’t seem so sure he wants to return as GM for Montreal after that.

 

[Treb]

Can Seattle draft players like Price and trade them for other assets in a bear future, it do they have to keep all their drafted players ?

Emelin got picked by Vegas on June 22 and traded to Nashville on July 2. That should answer your question

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Is that a joke? Dude put on the run of his career and you reward him with asking him to waive his NMC? This better not be true.

 

[jetsforever]

Be hilarious if they did that and he got claimed

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

It would be negligent not to discuss it.

 

[MaxDummy]

Price wouldve to waive.. why would he

 

[Taluss]

It makes sense if they want t keep Allen. Id highly doubt Seattle would claim him (Price).
