we love em reclamation projects. former 3rd line AHL center Danault is now our 1c, bottom 6 winger Armia is on our top 6, then we also have Nick Cousins and Jordan Weal always on our PP. Jost would fit in perfectly for better or for worse

What is the max you can eat out of a contract? It would actually help out tank! Trade Price max retained for five 1st round picks or something. By 2026-2027 you'll have a team.
I have no problem taking a risk with Jost... but not as the center piece of a Drouin trade.

On the outside looking into the playoffs yet again, following his comments to start the year I would be surprised if there hasn’t been a conversation between Pricer and MB about moving him to a contender. I thought he would be traded last off-season but really got the feeling he moves before the TDL

If they’re going to trade him, it better be for a haul that kickstarts the rebuild. And it better to be to any team other than Colorado. I can’t bear to watch Patrick Roy 2.0 for the next 7-10 years.
Carey Price can't snif Patrick Roy's jock strap... I have zero worries about trading/getting rid of him... but I want good assets in return, not just a cap dump.

You speak for the minority. Price is a Vezina and Hart winner when he has a defense that doesn’t resemble a Calder Cup contender.
He's nothing like Roy and I surely hope I'm not alone to think that.
You are waaaaayyyyy off here.............way off.
Roy had amazing teams in front of him, Price, not so much.
WTF you are talking about... you know he played for the habs not only the Avs right ? 86, 89 and 93 team were far from amazing... unlike Price, Roy excelled under pressure and always elevvated his play when it mattered. Price is a choke artist.

I meant a goalie that would be coming to Montreal as part of the trade for Price. But yeah, Kinkaid and Lindgren... Yikes.
You have a selective memory............go back and look at the teams in front of Roy, hall of famers not guys like DD Cousins and Weal !! lol
You also may have forgot, when the heat got turned up on Roy, he also wilted at times........ask Bourque and Neely.

Yup - like the pressure of not stopping a Cam Neely blue line slap shot in the playoffs. How many HOFers were on the 86 team again? Habs hasn’t lost to Bruins in the playoffs in close to 50-years till Roy started choking every year in the playoffs vs Bruins starting with collapse in 88. Wouldn’t have beaten Bruins in 93 without major Sabres upset let alone beat the Pens, same with Oilers in 86. Was outplayed pretty significantly in 89 by Vernon.
Roy was a great goalie without doubt but he had major flaws and the Habs teams he won with were far superior to the Habs teams Price has had in front of him...selective memory.
Price hasn’t had anything close to the following on his team;
- Naslund 100-point season (86 Cup)
- Richer two 50-goal seasons
- Big C Bobby Smith with multiple 80+ point seasons (86 Cup & 89 Cup finals)
- Damphousse with 97 point season (93 Cup)

You are not. Price will never be Roy..ever. There I said it. Dudes way to fragile upstairs.

Hope for once Francis is onto something but when he opens the segment showing the left hand shooting Kreider as someone the Flames could target to fill the hole for a right hand shooting winger he doesn't instil much confidence that he's an Insider

He'd only waive to go to a contender and they obviously would need a #1 goalie and have the cap space into the future. That's a pretty small market - depends I guess if this is initiated by the player (i.e. Price has had enough of sitting outside the playoffs) or the GM (penny has finally dropped they are not a contender even if Price played up to his contract). If Carey is pushing this I'm afraid what the return will be.

Price has such an emotional attachment to most fans. He's a fading superstar that would be shopped on a rebuilding team. But here we hang on to the legends while the W/L suffer greatly.
He should be jettisoned out of town with Weber so we can actually rebuild this team. It's a joke keeping these two .
