Proposal: Carey Price to the Avalanche

[forsbergavs32]

I think they could probably a blue chip prospect and a 1st + for him from a team that's close to the bubble that needs goaltending (Carolina, Philly, St. Louis?)

I also know MB isn't much better at all but at least he's not handcuffed by an owner who is only concerned about lining his pockets.

Price has a 10.5 AAV for 7 more years.

Annnnnnd........thread.

No, but he's handcuffed by Price's ugly contract.

is Carey Price now the new thing?

 

[Brock Radunske]

It would be kind of funny if Montreal traded 2/3 of their greatest goaltenders in the modern era to Colorado.
If fact, they would be the two greatest goalies of the Avs history

It’d also make us 3 for 3 of former Habs Vezina winners (anybody remember José Théodore? No? Neither do we).

Not happening though.

Habs are not going to get back what they think price is worth because of that **** contract and him have back to back down years. They will get a deal around what EK got for the sens and they will be pissed. Never going to happen.

Lol EK's a FA at the end of the year and everybody know that he wasn't about to resign with the team. Doron couldn't do much with it. He got traded as a loan.
Price have many term left on his contract,he's an elite game changer goaltender & if we really wanted to trade him we could retain round 1 to 1,5 the cap will be as an average elite goalie.
No way we get what EK got if we ever move him.

 

[connormcmuffin]

Montreal eating half the contract for Ottawa's first could help both causes, won't happen though

 

[Legend123]

Jost+ first for Price 2M retained
Or for price + hudon and avs Send a 2 yr camp dump
a dream return imo

 

[Omar]

Habs won't trade Price if they just locked Weber into the captaincy. It means their mindset isn't into rebuilding so Price won't go anywhere.

 

[82Ninety42011]

2 1sts, a 2nd, Cale Makar, and Kaut, if the previous thread is any indication.

So I'm assuming Canadians are retaining 4.5 per and also sending their own 1st from 2019 and 2020 am I doing this right?

Good. Avs don't need or want him.

Youre not.

 

[ElLeetch]

MTL trading their goalie to the Avs. Hey, its worked out well before!

 

[Baksfamous112]

Habs heading into a rebuild with arguably the best goalie in the world under contract during his prime years. Probably in both the Habs and Price's best interests to get him out of there.

I think the Avalanche are a fit because they could afford him now and post raises coming up, as well as being a team very much on the rise.

Assuming Varly is let go and assuming Grubauer doesnt step up and take the #1 spot, Price would be a dream option.

Now what would Habs fans want and what are Avs fans willing to give?

Price has a 10.5 AAV for 7 more years.

Habs are not going into a rebuild. How many times does we have to say it?

How is having 5.25M handicaped on your cap for 8 years help the habs?

Potential top five pick will be a controlled asset for 8+development years.

Cements Montreal to a long term rebuild, Montreal has more pressing issues than cap room.

 

[Bleedred]

Even though Price should be given the benefit of the doubt in bouncing back this year, I still think that contract is AIDS (though I understand why he got it) and shouldn't be touched by anybody. I think that contract will be a casualty of an amnesty buyout when the new CBA comes into play in the next few years.

Long term rebuild? That’s 5.25M dead cap space for 8 years! How long are they going to rebuild? Certainly not 8 years

Montreal played the last two seasons about 10 million under the cap, what's the difference?

 

[The Abusement Park]

one thing Avs are actually ok on is in net

we wanna reunite Mack and Drouin though

I'm good honestly.

The difference is if, god forbid, Montreal trips over themselves and Kotkaniemi is a #1C and they get say Jack Hughes and another bad ass top 3 pick the next year.... All of a sudden that 5.25M that doesn't matter becomes a HUGE deal. Nevermind that you're asking ownership to pay 40M to a player to NOT play for them.

There is no way in ****ing hell that ANY team would retain 5M on a guy for 7-8 years. None. Even if they print money like NYR or Toronto. Nobody is paying a dude 40M over 8 years to have them gone and only getting one first round pick for that trouble.

And Carey Price at 5.25M for 7 years? He gets you a HELL of a lot more than one first round pick, unprotected or not.

It’s one season. Imagine Toronto right now with 5.25 of dead cap for the next 8 years? That’s like a solid top 4 D. No team is going to carry that much dead cap for as long as 8 years, whether they are rebuilding or not

 

[Hockey Stick]

Weber was just named captain. What rebuild?

The rebuild where that captain is on the shelf until December or so

Imagine? Zaitsev is 4.5 of dead cap space for 7 years.
