Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread: Part LXIX

[Big Lurk]

Gallagher with 1 million retention to Boston for cap dump Moore, Wagner and picks/prospects.

Why Boston?
I wouldnt want to see that.

Send him to Van City or Los Angeles so he can reunite with Danault.

Can we trade Weber to Arizona yet?
Btw, what becomes of the plan MB had for him?

Gallagher is a Boston type player.
Jack Edwards raves about him and Marchand and him are friend.

Are The Oilers top heavy $$$ at forward for them to add Gallagher?

Is LA is a position to give prospects/picks for Gallagher?

I have no idea about Weber.

I think we call all tell Gallagher isn’t happy with the situation.

 

[BozoTheClown]

Bring Subban back or sign Letang for 4 seasons or less at 5 mil per year.

 

[Dirby Kach]

if CGY is interested in Gally, I'd take Lucic back to help them out.

 

[McGees]

Power forward old man body is already creeping in. I’d trade Gally now if you can get a decent return and before he gets worse.

 

[Bacchus1]

Carey Price retained at 50% to Edmonton for Koskinen, Matvei Petrov and a 2022 1st

Apparently Pierre LeBrun has suggested that Gorton may trade Price, but first I would want a better return (Price could win a good team the cup, so I would want 3-4 top prospects, particularly PMD and a promising center, a first, and something else), and two I would want to take another big contract back with someone who needs a fresh start, instead of retaining salary.

this will NEVER happen,dont you think Seattle would of took him and retain if they thought they could get such a return

Maybe they didn't want to retain salary, I still don't understand why they didn't select him.

Price is never fetching 3-4 prospect, 1 first and something else and/or a big contract in need of a fresh start. Jack Eichel didn't get that and he is entering his prime, while Price is coming out of if. We might get a late first from a contender and a good prospect for Carey retained but that's pretty much it, Price has too many question mark around him and there is other younger, cheaper and healthier option around the league who can provide respectable goaltending.

They probably should have taken him.

But, their expansion draft was odd … like they were on a super budget, or were trying to throw everyone off with their odd ball picks.

There is also a good reason he is in the running for Team Canada.

Trading Price for the right package, and signing another cheap goalie, is probably our fastest way to return to relevance via losing and rebuild. If we trade other assets for prospects and picks at the deadline, we could probably revitalize our team to full contenders status within 3 years, all while staying more competitive than we are being now.

Of course, we’ll need to sign a few free agents this summer, too.

 

[GrandmaCookie]

Most people don't understand Seattle draft, but not selecting Price is not their worst move. A 10.5M$ goalie signed until he is near 40 years old, with huge question marks about his health and average regular season performance for the last 4 season is not something interesting for a up and coming team who seemed to prefer cap space and youth over going for it now.

After this year his salary decreases. Also, for the chance to win a cup, some teams will break the bank.

2018-2019	$15,000,000	$13,000,000

Sure it's a risk but Price at 50% retained is a hot commodity. You always have the option to trade him away when he's too old. 6M is a fair price even for an average starting goalie.

 

[The Great Weal]

Edmonton's got like 5 dmen injured. Let's see if the Chiarot trade happens before Christmas lol.

Which team right that is most likely gonna contend for the cup needs Carey Price and has the cap space(let's be optimistic here and say we retain 50%) that has the assets to provide what you are asking for?

Washington? No cap space, poor prospect pool.

Edmonton? Zero cap space, average prospect pool. Bouchard won't be dealt, he is already an important part of their defensive squad.

Ironic this is his highest paid season and he’s not even playing.

Id hate to play vs Bruins with Marchand AND Gally.

Not trading him unless we get a top 4 dman or a top 6 center.

No team is giving us anything close to that type of return. Price and his contract being moved is already a good deal for us going forward!

Price can put a team over the top, but goalies traditionally have lower trade value compared to skaters. Maybe one top prospect or first round pick, a b-level and a cap dump for Price, but we aren’t cleaning out another team’s cupboards.

 

[sampollock]

price and gally are the to to go
then ben C. but the 1st two will be hard to do

Edmonton at 50% retained with Koskinen coming back almost takes care of the cap issue alone. Taking a contract like Archibald off their LTIR would take care of the rest. It's almost a perfect match to get the Oilers over the top. So much so, that I can see other contending western teams bid too.

 

[Benstheman]

To trade Price, we would need to retain max salary (50%) and take a bad contract with 1 or 2 seasons left. Then we would get a good return like a 1st, 2nd and A prospect.

Colorado : Price at 5,25 M$
Mtl : Compher at 3,5 M$ for 1 year + Jost at 2M$ for 1 year + 1st 2022 + 2nd 2022 + Justin barron

Edmonton : Price at 5,25M$
Mtl : Koskinen at 4,5M$ (UFA) + Ceci at 3,25M$ for 3 years + 1st 2022 + Bourgault

Montreal will not retain $5.25M for 4 years so don't get too excited about your proposal. It's a pipedream. They may pick up $2Mish but not more than that. It would put the team in cap hell for too long.

Price's salary also drops dramatically starting next year so the actual pay will be lower than it's ever been and will continue to drop.

I know. It's just what i think we would need to do if we want to trade him for something decent.

But 1 thing i don't agree with you is retaining for 4 years would be problematic. Not if we rebuild. I'm pretty sure this wouldn't be a problem for at least 2-3 years. Maybe for the 4th years it could cause problem but alot of things can happen in 4 years and let's not forget, Petry, Savard, Drouin and Armia will probably be all gone just before that 4th year, which is about 20M$ less in salary.

 

[DiglettDangles]

Price's contract is less of a problem in Montreal than away.
Unless I misunderstood something fundamental, you can't LTIR the 50% retained on Price if in two years he calls it a career somewhere else, so it's short-sighted to trade him "urgently" for cap space we don't even need. That's too much of a gamble for me.
If the argument is that we can't tank with Price, I disagree, he's past his prime and unlikely to play >40gp/yr ever again. What's the deal if he steals 5-6 more games a year, we'll never be Arizona bad anyways.
If the argument is that we can get good picks/prospects, I don't believe it one bit - at least not before he has a great, healthy rest of season. Like someone said above, Seattle must've called 30 teams after his stellar playoffs to ask them what they'd pay for Price at 50%, and weren't too excited about the potential return as they didn't end up picking him. Why would he be worth more now?
I say tough him for 2 years until he's likely falling to pieces and let him LTIRetire. If he's still great in 2 years after our next 2 key drafts then he deserves to be part of the "rebirth". The kids will be paid by letting the dead weight go naturally.
If Price actively wants to leave, that's another story.
