If Carey Price was waived, would your team claim him?

[Love]

Simple question. Vote yes or no and say what team you’re responding on behalf of.

Price is 33 years old, has 5 more years at a cap hit of $10.5mil per season. His last 4 seasons he has a sv% of .909 and GAA of 2.75.

There is no team in the league that would or should claim him at 10.5M

 

[A1LeafNation]

Would rather two 5m or less goalies.

 

[Steven Toast]

Does any team in the league have the cap space?

 

[JoVel]

I'm gonna go on a limb here and say that having been good 5 years ago is not worth 10 million.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

No team would claim him. Nobody's even claiming players that cost far less for far shorter terms. NHL teams are in full cheapo mode right now.

 

[ThatsSoSlavin]

As much as I’d love him that cap hit is too much

 

[Gecklund]

No team would be able to claim him. He’s definitely worth the spot on the team but no team can afford it.

This may be the first time a poll has generated 0 votes for yes, lol. No teams would claim that contract, including teams not even in existence yet lol

 

[Sundinisagod]

What about re entry waivers? Is that still Montreal retaining 50% of his salary/cap hit? If so, it becomes an interesting discussion then.

 

[DFF]

Nobody had cap space

actually does anybody even have cap space to claim McDavid if he is waived?

They scraped that rule years ago.

Seattle possibly would, Fleury-style

 

[MikeK]

As others have already said. No team is looking for a soon to be 34yr old $10.5m goalie whose best games are likely behind him with still another 5 years left on his contract. This deal is an anchor to any team trying to contend.

The hawks could claim anyone, I believe, due to massive amounts of LTIR money. Then they’d have to figure out what they are doing before next year begins. Unless there is something I’m not aware of.

McDavid?

 

[Mrfenn92]

McDavid?

Sorry I thought you were talking about a waived price.
McDavid yes they would.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Would cripple a team for half a decade. No team would take that on.

 

[Anguyen92]

No. I'm content with the Kings' version of an inconsistent goalie, nowadays, that used to be great in the form of Quick. At least, he has two years left and $4.7M cheaper than Price.

Lopsided result.
