I don’t buy that he’s injured. I think they’re working on a trade, and purposely sitting him out. Last thing they need is a serious injury, otherwise he will definitely be untradable.

Vancouver makes sense. He’s from that province, and they don’t have a number one.

Last time we traded one of the best goalies in the league things didn't end well for us.

There may be some teams looking for the final piece to a championship puzzle, as Colorado was last time. I could see a one for one trade for Pekka Rinne, which would give Nashville an edge, and us an expiring contract.

Other teams in a lower-tier category of "close" are Dallas and St-Louis. I hope he doesn't end up with Toronto, which would be a good fit for them.

Unfortunately, because of the contract, it is unlikely to produce a significant return, so his greatest value is still on this team.

I believe he has a list of 15 (?) teams that he'd waive for. Its not a full NMC where he will retire a Hab. If he needs a change of scenery a trade might be good for him.

He indeed has a full NMC. The only way he's traded is if he asks for a trade...

Its about time Vancouver committed to a goalie with a long heavy contract, don't you think? :)

This whole situation would be so much easier to deal with and it would probably be more interesting if he didn't sign that contract before the season.

Nope, thats for his contract that will kick in in July, he currently has a full NMC that was implemented for his last year of his current contract. It was part of the negotiations

I see. I guess the only way MB would ever trade him is if he (Price) wanted out so probably doesn't hinder a trade.

Shows what Price thinks of ole MB when he gets his m-ntc upgraded for the last year of his previous contract so he cant get Subbaned.

To be fair, it'd be a lot easier to place blame on the media if the organization didn't handle this with such secrecy. Its oddly reminiscent of Gauthier and the absence of information is creating a massive vacuum.

Montreal does have a more trash hockey media than anywhere else in the NHL though.

Toronto's media isn't much better.

I think the main difference is a good part of the French media in Montreal are dinosaurian in their approach to the game, and quite a few of them are also xenophobic.

Once the media latches onto a player in Montreal, it's just about impossible to escape the death sentence. What's amazing is that Price wasn't traded back in 2010... had that been Bergevin, you can bet your last dollar he'd have kept Halak.
