Proposal: Philly and Montréal are ideal trade partners. Let's make things work.

[De Montreal]

Carey Price is the missing key for the Flyers to have success in the playoff. The Flyers management need to stop to try to patch the problem between the pipes and acquire the best of the best. Carey Price is exactly that, he would absolutely thrive in Philadelphia will less media and fans pressure. Contract is a problem for sure, and the Canadiens management isnt competent enough to trade him - but it's a matter of time before they realize they are 3-4 years away from competition. They should absolutely look to trade him with all the youngster tenders down the pipe (Primeau, Hawkey, Fucale, Lindgren, McNiven).

Price value isnt very high because of his bad season, but he just has too much talent not to bounce back next year. Philly have lot of pieces that would interest Montréal with all their young kid at the blueline and down the middle.

Montréal can also afford to take back bad contracts like Jori Lehtera, Dale Weise.

No matter what I propose, I will get flame but I'm gonna try and throw something to build around :

To Montréal:
Brian Elliott
Jori Lehtera
Dale Weise
Travis Koneckny
Samuel Morin
(12M$ in cap number)

To Philly:
Carey Price
(10M$ in cap number)

Montreal doesn't want to give up Price, Philly doesn't want to give up Konecny. No one says yes

 

[beh3moth]

Lindgren/Niemi for a 2nd is the deal you're looking for.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Wow, didn't take Habs fans long to start the Price proposals.

 

[AvatarAang]

If Weber is worth Nylander+, I can only imagine what Habs fans want for Price.

 

[Razzdazzle1]

Montreal doesn't want to give up Price, Philly doesn't want to give up Konecny. No one says yes

Price is worth more than Konecny.
The fact that Flyers say No is hilarious. 8-5 loss today and out of the playoffs.

Solid goaltending is the only way this team makes it to the 2nd round of playoffs. Not a player like Konecny.

 

[Jray42]

This is like beating a dead horse, zero interest in Price in Philly.

 

[Ctrain2k]

Lindgren/Niemi for a 2nd is the deal you're looking for.

The guy who was on waivers 3 times is now worth a 2nd? Only in Montreal.

He's being sarcastic.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Why montreal would take all those garbages for Price?

lmao

(minus 20 goals scorer konecky

 

[Jray42]

Pretty sure it was the same thing that was said when Price signed his 6.5M contract.

Pretty sure that's the same thing? Except it isn't

The contract, not what was said, obviously. The Flyers need to wait for Carter Hart and hope he or Sandstrom pan out. If we target a goalie, Price is likely nowhere near the top of the list.

 

[rockinghockey]

That contract is bad no team will want it

 

[ImNeverWrong]

konecny, talented kid. but struggles to put up points when he isn't with giroux. For a team that's in dire need of a goalie, habs can probably get more than just konecny for price. But that price contract is awful. so who knows what fair value is.

 

[BLONG7]

No way Habs and Philly make that trade...If Price goes, a true #1 Centre comes back...and no, we don't want Giroux.

From the Habs point of view .Not a chance.Christ that's terrible for the Habs.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Flyers need to pay up for the best 2-3 year stop gap they can find, not trade for one of the league's biggest contracts that hasn't even kicked in yet. Flyers have arguably the 2nd best goaltender prospect in the world, they're not trading for Price. Taking Weise and Lehtera is irrelevant, they simply can't fit that gargantuan contract long term.

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

Wow that looks f***ing awful, no thank you. The first 3 players are cap dumps that'll be off the roster soon, and we have a bunch of goalie prospects coming up. Carter Hart and Stolarz mainly. Not giving up TK or Morin for a goalie making 10 mil.

 

[Starat327]

Not interested in Price in the least bit. There is literally no deal to be made here.

Were not perfect trading partners. You didnt even get a Center out of this deal.

That cap only works through next year until we have to re sign people

 

[beh3moth]

The guy who was on waivers 3 times is now worth a 2nd? Only in Montreal.

Have you seen him play? He was really good. I wasn't proposing that to be snarky, working with Waite really let him up his game.

Price has a full NMC he calls the shots.

 

[tgo0]

Pretty sure it was the same thing that was said when Price signed his 6.5M contract.

When price signed his deal the 6.5M counted as 10.1% of the cap (based on 2011-12 and 2013-14 cap, lockout year was weird but would’ve counted as 10.8% of the actual cap or 9.25% of the pro-rated cap).

When Price’s new deal kicks in it will be 13.25%, based off an $80M cap (projected cap of 78-82M, I split the difference)

So even if people were saying “good luck with that” it counted for a significantly less percentage of the cap than his new deal will.

Told you, he's genuinely serious Montreal fans don't know sarcasm.

[DeflatedFootball7]

lol at all the Habs fans calling TK "garbage" first of all.

And you know, as bad as Elliott was this year, he made the playoffs. Hmmmm...

I'd rather just wait for Hart and Ustimenko to get here, but thanks anyways.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

The only "established" goalies that the Flyers would trade for are ones that have no more than 2 years left on their contracts.

Price is not happening.
