Proposal: Kraken take Price and flip him?

[goldnblack]

Take him in the expansion draft, retain 3m per, and flip him to Toronto (or the Pens?) with the appropriate return given the retention.

Crash HF

Be a hell of a way to shake things up in the league.

New team retaining 3m per until 2026 seems unlikely.

Lol @ Price waiving his NMC to Toronto

You cant flip him without his ok. He only waived for the expansion. If picked he keeps his NMC

 

[pth2]

His NMC is waived for expansion only.

 

[CREW99AW]

Lol @ Price waiving his NMC to Toronto

Those NTC and NMC will carry over to the new team if a player is selected?

Something tells me that the return you will get for a 34 year old goalie signed at 7.5 million (after retention) for 5 more years is no where near worth retaining 15 million over that span.

Call me crazy.

 

[MessierII]

He will still have a nmc too difficult to move.

 

[MessierII]

Those NTC and NMC will carry over to the new team if a player is selected?

Yes

 

[shortfuze]

Lol @ Price waiving his NMC to Toronto

Would he have a choice?

 

[llamateizer]

Yes sir.
The players waives for a single transaction. It doesn't void it

Price waived his NMC for the expansion draft only

 

[MessierII]

Would he have a choice?

Yes

 

[General Fanager]

Would he have a choice?

yes.

If picked he keeps his nmc

 

[Silky mitts]

As a GM I’d want 2 1sts and a 2nd absolute minimum for retaining $3Mx5 before you even get to the player

 

[goldnblack]

Guys once Price is on an expansion team, you think the hard part is getting him to waiver to be flipped to a contender?

Maybe we aren't talking about the same Price...

 

[dukeofjive]

I dont think this could happen, the only way this goes down, is first Seattle wants price and price wants to go back home.

He played 5 years for tri city, and thats where he met is wife.

They live in Kelowna in the summer and his parents live in anahim lake, so yea only way this happens is he wants to go home, and if Seattle wants to pick is bloated contract.

Even if Price agreed to waive, how many contenders actually need a starter enough to pay Price 7.5 million per year for another 5 years, and have that kind of cap space?

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Why not do what Vegas did and have a great goalie for your first few seasons? It is a massive signing bonus, but if you average out his last 5 years, you're only paying him 8.8M. Montreal has paid a big chunk of his total contract already.

Goalies play well into their late 30's and Price is 33. He'll be 38 when the contract ends. That's not crazy old. He also doesn't have any degenerative issues that I'm aware of and he was excellent last year.

Carolina would likely be interested.

 

[To Be Determined]

Carolina would likely be interested.

hell no

Could ask many playoff teams

 

[Thallis]

hell no

Really? For price at 50% retained?

 

[Pietrangelo]

Close this thread lol

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Would he have a choice?

Of course he has a choice, His NMC still carries over so he'd have to agree to waive it for any team. And that's not happening.
