If Colorado wants Price then they should offer a credible package for Price.

It's fine if Price wins a Cup in Colorado.

 

[Big Empty]

The article says they are looking for a depth goalie so most likely not.

 

[Natey]

Both their goalies have been good this year. I don't imagine they'd trade for Price, even if all we wanted was a draft pick. He costs too much salary.

 

[MasterMatt25]

They're probably just going to claim Domingue

ya , but Avs will be trading away a goalie ....right? crease will be way too full if they add another G....Montreal looking for a G?......What's Bergy doin in Colorado?

Also,

When Sakic said the word signalling "Long term" in regards to a goalie....just wondering if there 's a smoke show goin on ,,.,.

Anytime Joenny Boy.

 

[JennyHockey]

Id say they trade for Bernier

I don't see any reason why Price would be involved , this is just impossible

I would be absolutely thrilled for Price if he wins a Cup with another team. The return better be worth it and not be a repeat of the Roy trade. But even if it's underwhelming from the Habs perspective, I'd still be happy to see Price win it.

I agree. If Price is moved, then it will either be done in the off-season or in a few years. And most likely by another GM.

 

[Justin11]

Not happening. I would be shocked if they move C.Price.

 

[Chili]

Believe they would be interested in Price the player.

Hard to believe they would have any interest in his contract.

Bernier already played for the Avs....can't see them bringing him back rght?

i remember people saying the exact same thing about Theodore and Aebischer before we dumped Theo’s bad contract on them. He was making $5.3 million for 3 years in a brand new salary cap era where the cap was in the $30 millions and 3 years was considered a decently long term. Stranger things have happened. That said, I think Sakic is seriously considering Tatar which is what we’re seeing. There would be a lot of dynamics to a trade for Price that playoff teams/contenders wouldn’t want to invest all their time into as a deadline deal. It would have to be done in the offseason in my opinion if Price was actually being considered as a moveable option.

 

[Milhouse40]

I don't think Bergevin can trade Price unless Price asked for it.
Only a new GM could do it.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Wouldn't that be awesome!!!

 

[Adam Michaels]

Hard to believe they would have any interest in his contract.

It's understood that Habs will retain salary in any trade involving him.

 

[eklund the clown]

You have to wonder really.Maybe Price was already asked or vice versa.You couldn't blame him if he did.This dumpster fire is going nowhere anytime soon and Price is not getting any younger.

I keep hearing in my head Price saying he wants to win now....then soon after Molson says will be a contender 3 to 8 years from now....(there's 2 guys there not on the same page..lol)

That 3 to 8years doesn't fit Price's time line...

i dunno....

 

[VAN-HAB]

What if?

 

[26Mats]

Wouldn't that be awesome!!!

To Colorado: Price
To Mtl: Byram + Grubauer

done.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

The difference between a potential Price trade vs the Roy trade is that Roy was still very much in his prime, and a proven winner.

Price is neither of those things, id shoot him out of a cannon to Colorado.

 

[JennyHockey]

Bernier already played for the Avs....can't see them bringing him back rght?

Just a backup goalie that you can trust , many teams this season are looking for 2 good goalies.
Montreal , Toronto Florida.... etc
Boston is a rare case

 

[Roadhouse]

To Colorado: Price
To Mtl: Byram + Grubauer

done.

I'm sure Avs fans would call for a lynching if that occurred. Byram is God and Price is way over the hill, overpaid. A non-starter for them.

Maybe they forgot about Roy, but then again the league has changed.....
