10 most valuable CURRENT Habs - #1

[dkd]

So I've been wondering if you guys share the same thoughts about our current players as me. In this vote (and the 9 to come), I'm asking you for the 10 most valuable Habs in terms of market value (Not how much you like them).
Please do NOT turn this into a hate thread.

Please vote for #1.

Cheers!

Vote choises udated.

 

[DavePeak]

1) Price

EDIT: In terms of market value, goaltenders can't fetch the same return as a superstar player, even more when that player is a #1d Norris winner like Subban. Please consider my vote changed:

1) Subban
2) Price
3) Pacioretty
4) Plekanec
5) Galchenyuk (possibly a future franchise player, should probably be ranked higher, not sure)

 

[habs88]

Subban and price

Voted subban but could go to price

 

[Et le But]

Not to take away from Price but...1D is the most important position in hockey, and we have one of the best.

 

[Video Coach]

Price
Subban
Galchenyuk
Pacioretty
Plekanec
Gallagher
Markov
Eller
Gorges
Emelin

 

[Monctonscout]

Should the contract status be included?

Also are we talking value for this season or for the franchise long term?

 

[habdynasty]

Price and Subban get my vote.

 

[Video Coach]

I think you have to take contract status into consideration.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Subban.

I don't think it's a huge coincidence that the team hasn't been winning since he's stopping putting up points on a regular basis. He's just been tentative and a shadow of his old self from last season and earlier this season.

Not that this slide is on Subban, it's not (it's a collective team issue), but the fact he hasn't been as elite as he can be is definitely hurting us badly right now.

 

[Pierre Dagenais]

Goalies aren't worth much on the trade market. Gotta go with Subban.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Subban. Teams would pay through the nose for Price too.

 

[Souffle]

I FALI at this thread

Well, I voted Budaj, but that was an accident, because I was aiming my clicker at Price.

And I also misread the original OP (didn't actually read it) to mean: who is most valuable to Habs?

Soooo, I see the argument for Subban or even Pacioretty when factoring in his contract, but I think I still go with Price. Smaller market for goalies, but to take Edmonton for example, I think you would get a better return for Price than Subban, even though Edmonton could really use both.

But, empirically, I might be wrong. Top defencemen historically get better returns than top goalies in trades. However, I also think that more top defencemen get traded than top goalies.

Anyway, I leave this thread now, feeling like someone who gets off a crowded elevator after having farted audibly.

 

[Colezuki]

1) Subban
2) Price
3) Pacioretty
4) Galchenyuk
5) Gallagher

whoever else is still on the team

[Natey]

Top-25

#1) P.K. Subban
#2) Alex Galchenyuk
#3) Carey Price - (our star, but goalies never fetch a great return)
#4) Max Pacioretty
#5) Tomas Plekanec - (should be higher, but underrated severely).
#6) Brendan Gallagher
#7) Andrei Markov - (would net a sick return on the trade market)
#8) Jarred Tinordi
#9) Nathan Beaulieu
#10) Brian Gionta - (would net a solid return as a UFA)
#11) Sven Andrighetto - (one team is willing to give up a top-6 forward for him, plus take a cap dump in return)
#12) Lars Eller
#13) David Desharnais
#14) Jacob de la Rose
#15) Raphael Diaz - (ridiculous that he's not playing - should net a solid return for a UFA)
#16) Josh Gorges - (not his best season, but he's underrated around here)
#17) Martin Reway
#18) Travis Moen
#19) Brandon Prust
#20) Alex Emelin - (brutal contract or would be much higher)
#21) Louis Leblanc
#22) Zachary Fucale - (low because he's a goalie)
#23) Michael McCarron - (project forward but teams would take the risk)
#24) Sebastien Collberg - (project forward but has some amazing skill)
#25) Michael Bournival

 

[Hope Of Glory]

I love Subban, but I have to go with Price.

 

[Binary Code]

Subby.
Price as a close runner-up
