Just me, but if I was another gm/team that would need to be a lot of retaining to make that contract palatable.It's understood that Habs will retain salary in any trade involving him.

Wouldn't retain on Drouin, based on his play earlier in the season. 6 more years is a lot of retaining at whatever number on the Price contract. Guess it should be considered though if the right asset(s) is offered.Avs been interested in Drouin.....just sayin...lol
Salary can always be retained....not like we dont got cap space..lmao...

Exactly. Price is more Theodore than he is Roy.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.
The player is the player. The contract can always e played with. Montreal can sweeten it by eating some and the Avs up the return.Believe they would be interested in Price the player.
Hard to believe they would have any interest in his contract.
They should be looking at cups. And Price can greatly help them do that.Since people don’t appear to understand the need...
The Avs starting goaltender is hurt. Their normal AHL goalies are also hurt. They are coming up on like three back to back games
They’re basically looking for a short term backup

Talking about impact players (forward), not a depth goalie to help the team through injuries“I’d prefer a hockey trade rather than going into the rental market but we’re going to be open to the rental market as well,” Sakic explained before adding, “I’m not here just looking short term. I’m paid to look after the big picture.”-Joe Sakic
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.

Cant see Price returning a kings ransom with his contract.
Colorado has far too many good players to sign and not enough room. There are ways they could do it, but it would all involve Johnson and I don't see him them moving him, despite him not being the player he once was.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.

Pretty ugly return... Jost is close to the "bust" edition... and Timmins's history with 1st rounders is legendary.I could see Drouin for Jost and first.
