What else is Montreal adding?

Price is still a decent player , come on now that a fair offer

 

[Xirik]

id expect some retained salary if you want that to work.

Weird that half of your fan base thinks Allen is the better goalie now.

We could add Weber. Excellent leadership going forward.

You're right that he is a decent player. However, he also happens to be paid like like a top 3 NHL player for a long time. Keep adding in regards to the 1st round picks.

Lekhonen or Chariot.

No from Montreal.

Lekhonen is a 2.4 mil cap hit. He’s a serviceable bottom 6 forward. Price is a good goalie with a brutal contract. Nobody is taking that on.

That wouldn't technically work if he's the expansion pick. That said, they would likely take a scrub, and Price would come in a trade.

That said, without retention, I don't see why Seattle would do this.

Try adding about 3 more 1st round picks to move that fiasco of a contract.

Or just do what the Habs really will and just keep Price as your 1G for the next five+ years.

Montreal won't be making this trade.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Bad proposal is bad.
The habs arent trading their number 1 goalie and a first round pick just to get capspace back.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Stupid trade and price has a NMC. Lock her up.

 

[Bond]

The only person price gets traded for is Bobrovsky

 

[Fisticuffer]

No.
I don’t want the Kraken to start out with big names on excessively generous contracts whose play doesn’t warrant the hits.
Hungry players and younger guys stuck behind significant depth should be our focus.

 

[MisterT]

Some village is missing its idiot.

You come on.. that contract has $50+M and serious term left. And that’s far too much for a player of his caliber.

MTL adds.

This is what I think The Kraken should and will do. But there are a ton of fans on here that think you guys are gonna save them by taking on their terrible contracts for mid to late firsts.

Ask yourself if you legitimately believe a brand new team is going to pay $44M to a 34 year old goalie just so they can acquire a late 1st and third round pick.

That's the definition of absurd.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Unless there's a huge treasure box, with a lot of picks and prospects, coming Seattle's way there's just no chance we're going to take that contract.
I mean, Francis is being rumored to have asked for a first round pick, prospects and something else in order to stay away from players teams might want to add during the trading deadline.

Price is in his mid thirties and has five more years with a huge cap hit left on his contract while also not being anywhere near the top goalies(stats wise) during the last three to five years.

He can still get hot and steal you games in a playoff series, but you first have to get there and as an expansion team you need fantastic goaltending which Price hasn't offered(during the regular season) for quite some time.

Also, adding a contract like that gets you into cap hell real quick, even if you're an expansion team starting with $81.5 mil in cap space.

 

[TBF1972]

this topic has been discussed several times and the only thing, which have been established, is a huge disconnect of how price is valued by the montreal fan base and the rest of the world. this won't get any closer this time.
