excactly, what i meant, is he rebels, and refuse to play the youngsters, thus they will be obliged to oust him early
Price can't and won't be traded until he is as healthy as possible nmentally and physically and has played few good games to show it.
I would rather keep Price for now if the best we can get back is a late 1st.
Price should have more value in a couple of years when he has less terms remaining and where retaining salary makes more sense for us.
He likely won't hurt the tank much considering his regular-season stats the previous years are not good.
That isn’t true. VGK just traded for Buffalo’s captain who hadn’t even undergone neck surgery yet. And they got a big haul.
I'd say Price's off ice issues don't really affect his value as everyone saw he still had it. He'd have to return and play some hockey but with proper retention I could see easily half or more than Eichel got. Price at %50 is worth a top prospect and a 1st to most contenders that need a goalie and could take 5mil, that valuation increases if Montreal eats salary in return to facilitate.He's 10 years younger than Price... and wasn't out of the SABH program for substance abuse so yeah Price is NEVER gonna fetch half of what Vegas gave for Eichel, even with Montreal eating half his salary forever.
Maybe if he were 24 instead of 34. Today, $ 5.25 million Price is nowhere near worth top prospect, let alone a first-round pick.Price at %50 is worth a top prospect and a 1st to most contenders that need a goalie and could take 5mil, that valuation increases if Montreal eats salary in return to facilitate.
I would offer Price 50% retained, to Oilers for Koskinen, #1 pick and Holloway.I'd say Price's off ice issues don't really affect his value as everyone saw he still had it.

Absolutely, these are the kind of moves we should of been making for years. Ryan Strome, Sam Bennet etcThink we should take a flyer on Debrusk? If we can get him for a song. Gorton would know him well. Rejuvenate his career
Bennett would’ve been great for us.Absolutely, these are the kind of moves we should of been making for years. Ryan Strome, Sam Bennet etc
avs need a goalie.... cue the rumors
they suck in net.. time for our new guy to make a call , start the talks slowly
I hear the cell towers are lighting upIf the Habs are willing to retain a substantial amount to help fit Price in on a contending team, there will be interest no doubt. But he has to get healthy and play games again first.
Oilers and Avs are two logical spots. He gives them a boost and and extra edge to go on deep playoff runs. Bargain bin goalies are not working in both Colorado or Edmonton and all they are doing is wasting cup contending years and prime years of their core if they continue with the hope they find a bargain bin goalie that can get hot in the playoffs.
Send the memo Gorton! Price at 50% retention is a possibility and we would consider taking back 1/2 year cap dumps to help the trading team with their cap. Then let the phone ring and go from there!

doubt it for the habs to retain 50% for 5 more years they would need a good return back and i just dont see any GMs giving away good assets for Carey,im sure they all love and respect Price but hes knees are banged up hes 34 years old just left rehab for substance abuse and still has 5 more years to hes contractAny fan trying to say there would be no interest even with Price at 50% are out to lunch! Price comes back to play a few games before the holidays and then full time again in January. Once he proves he is healthy again, have a conversation with him about our future and his future and I'm sure they can mutually agree that a trade is best for both sides. Then find out what teams he is willing to get traded to. Then send the memo and the phone will ring and ring.
could be true.. but no team has room for 10.5 I betRetaining that much salary on Price is ludicrous. You don’t give yourself $5m in dead cap for 5 years to get rid of one of your 3 good players. Either someone takes his full cap or they don’t take him.
