Value of: What would Carey Price realistically cost?

[jacks*]

Ottawa would offer up Marc Methot, Kyle Turris, Colin White and a 2017 1st.

And the Habs would easily hang up thinking it was a prank caller.

 

[MikeK]

I can't imagine MTL would trade him. I don't even have a proposal as I doubt any of us could accurately predict such a thing. I don't even think there are 2 GMs capable of such a deal.

 

[CelticPride]

His value is high, but I wonder what he would get back if he demanded the trade. I can't see Montreal trading him outright any time soon.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Depends if he recovers from his knee flu

If there was a #1C that Price could be traded for, his ass would've shipped out a long time ago. Fact is, no one would ever dream of making such a bonehead decision.

Having the best goalie in the league is nice, but it doesn't translate to cup wins. You can win with Toews + Crawford, or Crosby + Fleury. You can't win with Price + crap, or Lundqvist + crap.

Or Roy and Muller or Roy and Smith....

You have a better shot at winning the cup with Price and crap than Tavares + crap.

Goalies that win Cups play better in the playoffs. Price's career SV% drops in the playoffs, and the only year when his SV% went up was 5 years ago.

Halak, on the other hand, has a better playoff SV%, not to mention a much better 1C in front of him.

Of course, in terms of winning the Cup, this is like debating whether an ice cube or a snowball has a better chance of surviving several hours in a pizza oven.

Looked at a calendar lately?

What's the date got to do with someone claiming a goalie can't carry his team to a cup .
Oh wait that's right NOTHING.

Maybe since that doesn't happen now and days, you won't get that much value for a goalie in a trade? Which is the point of this thread?

 

[BubbleGumPlant]

If I'm Chiarelli, I take the return I got for Seguin over Price any day!

 

[Drydenwasthebest]

There is no discussion or debate to be had. Price can not be traded. Anyone too stupid to understand his importance to the Habs should not be allowed on a hockey forum ever again. Remove Price from our team, and we become the Oilers. With Price, we make the playoffs and can compete for a Cup. It is that simple. Adding a great centre like Tavares (for example) at the cost of Price does not move us closer to a Cup.

The Habs should not trade Price. There is no player we should trade him for. Period.

The funny thing is how stupid it seems people are in describing what wins Cups. Crosby is the best player in the world, and he needed Letang on defence, Malkin as the 2nd centre, and Fleaury (at the top of his game) in goal. Crosby + Fleury did not win the Cup. Look at Chicago. Only an idiot boils it down to Toews and Crawford won the Cup. These little guys called Seabrook, Keith, Kane and Hossa were significant parts of those Cups. LA won due to Quick, Kopitar, Doughty, etc... A great centre does not win anything on his own. A great goalie can not win on his own, either. People arguing either one wins it alone should stop talking about hockey.

Having said that, it is more likely that the best goalie join the game can carry a team to a Cup than the best centre in the world. The Habs have not had a true superstar centre in over a decade, but keep making the playoffs and going deep at times. Teams like the Oilers, with tons of offence and no goaltending or defence have gone nowhere. Give me the best goalie in the world over the best centre, right now.

We keep Price. Stupidity says otherwise.

Goalies are the worst thing to overpay for. For all his accolades price gets injured/sick and isn't a playoff choker but hardly some playoff god. Congrats, you just traded half your team for a goalie that allows 1 goal less every 3-4 games than MAF who could probably be had for free once Murray is back.

Much rather have a Marc Crawford/Ben Bishop/Matt Murray/Martin Jones and the 5 all star young players Price would cost rather than just Price

Only goalie I'd pay out the ass for is Varlamov and only because he's the most fun goalie to watch since Hasek and I watch hockey to be entertained.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

what a horrible trade for a top 3 player lol

Which is why they never happen. Teams aren't going to decimate their rosters for anyone, especially not a goalie who is only signed for two years.

 

[bernmeister]

too busy to read each post this time, but my immediate thought is:

who wants/needs and will pay?
and by extension
of those, who is top bidder?

I see Dallas as prob most serious here

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Wouldn't be as much as others think. Problem is in a cap world, you will never get proper value. You need to send roughly a 5 million dollar player back, a good prospect and probably a 1st.

 

[Wanderson]

Goalie prospect and good roster player

 

[Lehkonen4Calder]

Mcdavid or nothing

 

[Halla]

Mcdavid or nothing

nothing it is

 

[Canada4Gold]

everything. All of the things. The team that trades for him has 0 players or assets left, and they still get 82 points by losing 1-0 in a shootout every game, hell if they let Price shoot because he's the only player on the team he'll win most shootouts and make the playoffs.

 

[Rebuilt]

I wouldnt offer anything for him because he is 29 now and I would only offer up 29 year olds or there abouts in return.

lol hf at its finest

 

[Field of Dreams]

Eller - two second round picks
Subban - Shea Weber
Price - Priceless

For everything else there's DD and a 2nd

 

[txpd]

realistically, he would bring back nothing because he wont be traded.

If he got a wild hair and demanded a trade, then his return would be damaged significantly. So he wouldn't bring as much as hou might think.
