[AvatarAang]

Yes or No?

My opinion:

Toews: CAR, VGK, VAN

Price: VAN, NYI, BUF

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

jets yeah

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

Price I can see maybe for Edmonton but definitely not Toews.

I considered Edmonton but they still have Talbot and running ~15M in goaltending + McDavid's new contract would be insane.

 

[AvatarAang]

jets yeah

Good call, bring the hometown kid back home and I think he'd thrive there being the #2 behind Sheifele.

 

[SEALBound]

Price I can see maybe for Edmonton but definitely not Toews.

How the hell would Edmonton afford Price?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Jets would likely claim Toews and place him on the third line, they might even trade for him if Chicago retains to the max. But I could see Toews going two ways, either being bought out and signs a cheap contract with the Jets, or Chicago toughs it out and waits for his contract to die.

But yeah I'd claim both of them, what team wouldn't?

 

[Zubrus Coffee Maker]

yup, both

 

[Janne Niinimaa]

Most teams would claim Price and make the cap work. I'm also sure Toews is highly regarded in the league and would get some bids. But his production is worrisome.

 

[KIRK]

Penguins would claim neither.

 

[naruto]

Leafs claim neither as well

 

[hangman005]

VGK declines

 

[CREW99AW]

If I am the nyi owners/management and I have an extra $10m per after extending Tavares , then I want to use that money towards paying one of OEL/Doughty/Karlsson.

 

[Pia8988]

Boston no to both

 

[Devils090]

Toews? Lmao, last thing Shero would do is add that joke of a contract to the books

Price? If Schneider’s injury was long term then I could see it.

 

[Legionnaire]

Kings, maybe. If we could trade them for assets before it affects the cap, then yes. If not? No.

 

[Beau Knows]

Well he did add some poor contracts to the Penguins roster in his time there...

But I do believe he has learned from some his mistakes in Pittsburgh.

 

[Spazkat]

The contracts alone would kill that for most teams. There can't be all that many with the cap space and budget to add another 10+M without dropping an offsetting contract or 2.

 

[Freedom]

No cap space for Pittsburgh but I don't want any of them with theirs monsters cap hits

 

[biturbo19]

I'd be fine with Vancouver claiming Toews. Price is a tougher one, as i'm really just not convinced you can build a team around a goaltender that expensive.

Vancouver, and frankly...barely any teams actually have the cap space to actually make a claim work though.

 

[Howie Hodge]

Need to know where the cap is going the next two or three years to be able to properly answer. If the cap provides some relief, then perhaps.

Of course if the cap goes up the price on your Barzal's and Boeser's go up too......

 

[Tweaky]

Yes, both.

Avs

Would take some wiggling to get both to fit, but they have a few guys on IR now, and Bernier left todays game (pulled for goals, but had taken a head shot and did not stay on bench after getting pulled). So IR him as well, and go with a skeleton roster and it could work.

 

[Deen]

Price is stuck. No one wants that contract.

 

[Beville]

Is there any team that actually can afford that?

 

[Murzu]

Yes, both.

Really? I mean we could afford em both but I think we wouldn't take either. MAYBE Price and then get rid of Varly. Or cap situation is great, no need to handcuff ourselves.
