The problem is that there is no way to make Price to Philly work. You’re starting from a flawed premise, and displaying a lack of understanding of the Flyers’ timeline, prospect pool, and future cap situation.
Our goaltending solution is going to come from within. It will probably be Carter Hart, though others prefer Felix Sandstrom or Kirill Ustimenko, and there are those who haven’t lost faith in Anthony Stolarz, Alex Lyon, and Matej Tomek. If Hexy wants to make some noise in the postseason before one of our prospects takes the reins, he’ll acquire a stopgap guy, and that stopgap would have to be concretely better than Elliott, Neuvirth, or Mrazek; otherwise, we’re wasting assets. Montréal doesn’t have that kind of guy. Frankly, I’m not sure anyone does, except possibly Washington if they’re ready to move ahead with Grubauer.
If Philly and Montréal are going to make a deal, it’ll be a smaller one that results in Philly adding a depth forward. That’s the hole in our roster the Habs are in a position to patch.
Provorov was injured heading into that game. He likely wouldn't have played if it wasn't an elimination gameAre people just going to ignore how awful the defense was in front of Neuvirth today? Like the 3 goals I remember can be blamed squarely on Gudas and Provorov.
Still counting Fucale as a prospect when he’s 23? He’s not “in the pipe” but you should put yours down.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)
That’s pretty funnyStill counting Fucale as a prospect when he’s 23? He’s not “in the pipe” but you should put yours down.
Nope. No chance in hell he’s coming to Vancouver.Price needs to have one helluva bounce back season next year, we're talking 100% healthy and repeat his Hart & Vezina season to have any hope of having value in a trade
Having said that I honestly think Price is done in Montreal, everything was just too cryptic at the end of the season with him coming back from injury to play the last few games to get the record and getting emotional when talking about the fans. Then Bergevin continues to throw him under the bus like he did with PK leading up to his trade to try and shift the blame to a popular player for not having the right attitude in the locker room.
Combination of cap dumps and picks/prospects. Back home to BC would be my 1st guess, if you're not going to compete might as well be around family with 2 youngins and lots of cash with the Sedins off the books
I would never say never to anything with our muppet GM, not sure how you can say it with yours based on past dealsNope. No chance in hell he’s coming to Vancouver.
Zero.
Nada.
Never.
Ever.
Canucks have no need for goaltending. Its never gonna happen.I would never say never to anything with our muppet GM, not sure how you can say it with yours based on past deals
Maybe that's why we were rumoured to be looking at Ericsson...
Wow, didn't take Habs fans long to start the Price proposals.
I just vomited....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.

It starts with a 1st, Morin and Patrick. Don’t like it, then beat it.
