Proposal: Mon-Jets; Price for Laine + 1st

[SLAYER]

So many people like to **** on the Habs just because it's the Habs

Eh, I like the Habs. Don't care for Price's contract, but it is what it is. Certainly brings down his value some.

So keep him then =)
See if he can play like that in 5 to 6 years with that contract

I don't want the Habs to make the playoffs. They don't have the team to go anywhere. Price leaving = Habs can finally rebuild. Sadly, it won't happen until Bergevin's gone.

It certainly does bring his value down, but not to the point where people are making it seem.

 

[I am not exposed]

Laughably bad for Winnipeg. And I'm not as high on Laine as most are.

It honestly doesn't matter, since Bergevin would never ever trade Price, not even for McDavid + Draisaitl (he's that crazy). Until Bergevin's gone, Price will stay with the Habs 1000000000000%.

[Dr Danglefest]

you can get a goalie for a 2nd rounder/late 1st...

Yup just look at what the cost was for Freddy Anderson, Cam Talbot, Martin Jones, Ben Bishop(when acquired by TB in particular), Bobrovsky, and more recently Scott Darling...

Are those guys Carey Price? No but if you pair Laine with ANY of those Goalies, that’s still a Hell Of a player that needs to be paired with Price to have straight across value in a comparison. Wpg would be better off targeting someone like Grubauer for a fraction of the price and roll the dice on a talented kid that will soon have no Place in wSH that Peg doesn’t have to go through the growing pains with as he’s done that behind Holtby for the most part...it has worked well for the other teams that did something similar that I mentioned above..sure there’s probably some names where it didn’t work out but you aren’t paying the price of a franchise Forward in that scenario

Not a chance.
I am not sure there is anyone on the ha s roster I would trade Laine for. Straight up or in a package.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I'd do Price + 2 1sts for Laine... easily. Maybe throw in Galchenyuk too. Does Winnipeg have any cap dumps?

 

[TheNewEra]

there arent enough words to describe how bad this is for Winnipeg

 

[BayStreetBully]

Price is the best goalie in the NHL, and is only 30 years old. Goalies can be effective into their late 30's. Perhaps 8 more years.

Laine is a low 60's point winger who doesn't play defense, doesn't playmake, doesn't skate well who has not evidently progressed since the previous season.

I would rather have Price. But if Winnipeg sweetened the deal, it's possible.

 

[broinwhyteridge]

Saw this in a Habs thread, and was wondering if the value is there for Montreal.

Another thread to ignore.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

It's a horrible idea for WPG.

You shorten the cup window significantly as it all starts to hinge on Price's performance. If he dips, it's over.

Plus, it sure as hell won't feel nice when Laine's potting 50+ goals for MTL at the same time.

A younger Price would have made it interesting (even though goalies peak later).

 

[ole ole]

Whats next? The Leafs offer Nylander or Marner and Andersen for Price + Galchenyuk.

Habs would hang u[p the phone.

 

[McDLT]

Too risky for the Jets. I can't even think of a non-offensive counteroffer.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Laine is over-rated. Wonder how many points and goals he would have gotten if he played with mostly rookies like Matthews

Yeah but one of those rookies was William Nylander. Leaf fans keep calling him a BEAST. So is playing with him really hindering Matthews game?

 

[Hunter368]

Laine is a low 60's point winger who doesn't play defense, doesn't playmake, doesn't skate well who has not evidently progressed since the previous season.

You've determined all this in three games?



You get the dumbest post of the day award, congrats!

No, not three games. Also his last 15~ games last season. So it's really a continuation of where he left off last season. He's nearing almost 20 games of not being productive offensively. And if he isn't producing offensively, he isn't being as helpful as he should be for someone of his draft pedigree.

 

[sparxx87]

Oh dear.

2 points in 3 games 10 shots, cant complain really. If he pots 2 goals tonight, he would be ppg and a nice gpg. You look real dumb...

 

[robertocarlos]

Laine and a 1st for Price and a second.

 

[Saekk]

Remove Laine from the OP and it's still a no from WPG, can't handle that terrible contract Price has.

 

[david999]

Now I know why Habs fans think Jet's fans are delusional. Price puts Winnipeg in the playoffs, and likely a real threat to get to a cup final THIS YEAR. Laine is a good young player, but he is not even the Jet's best player. He is a winger that can score when he has an elite centre feeding him one-timers. Price's contract shouldn't be an issue since logic holds that if Laine is that good, Winnipeg would likely have to pay him similar money and term only a year after Price's deal kicks in. Laine is not a generational franchise type player, Price is. When the Dallas Stars needed to get better, they traded a young, scoring winger to Calgary for an good aging Center because they knew to get into the playoffs and win, they had to make that deal. Yes they won the cup.

 

[Hennessy]

Hey, remember that time Patrick Roy was traded for Selanne and a 1st?

Or when Luongo got Joe Thornton and a 1st?

How about that time Curtis Joseph was traded for Lindros?
