Proposal: Oilers paying the price.

[KCC]

Price + his contract = a lot of sad feelings.

 

[ManofSteel55]

don't bring the .885. you are clueless. you didn't watch the game or you would know how good price had been.

enjoy Talbot useless year again.
Price at least had excuses in his injuries.

on top of a terrible Talbot, you bring Lucic dump LOOOOOOL do you really believe this is a trade Mtl woudl accept ? seriously...

Talbot + lucic cost us the same as Price. I will keep price
Price is a Vezina,Olympic, world champ. talbot is nothing, Lucic is slow and done.

Why isn't this locked yet ?
it's one of the most trollish dumbish proposition I have seen, all favor towards Edmonton

Talbot isn't terrible. He had a year almost as bad as Price did last year. I expect both to rebound, and Talbot to do so at a far more affordable price than...well, Price. If Talbot is nothing and Lucic is done after one bad year, then Price is done as well. I don't expect any of those three players to be as bad as last year. And no, it doesn't favour Edmonton. We can't afford to pay Price that much, plus we give up one of our most promising prospects in McLeod. No deal.

I love Price . I would love to see him win a cup . But there no way in hell I would trade anything of value to take that contract on . To move Price Montreal would have to retain and eat a bad contract . As for the OP I would not add a thing to Lucic and Talbot plus i would ask for 25% retained . Price at 6 or 7 million would be ok but still not crazy about the term

Price will need to show he's elite again before being value like an elite goalie. I get that the Habs were bad. I get he was playing through injuries, etc But those affect the perception of his value until proven otherwise. I think he can get there, but i think you'd be hard pressed to find any team willing to gamble on it because of the contract. If he doesnt return to elite status, thats one giant pill to swallow.

Of course. We got a glimpse of it last night. Also, even if he does come back to his old self, I don’t think we will ever trade him anyway or even listen to offers. He’s too valuable for that

 

[Seachd]

While Price would make Edmonton a 100x better, don’t think the Oilers would be able to build a team with 32.5m tied to 3 players.

It seems like you’re either misunderstanding the “100” or the “x” in that post.

 

[mashedpotato]

Price stays in Montreal - Lucic stays in Edmonton.

Right, the canadiens seem tied to Price at this point. As i said in another post, If price returns to form, the Canadiens dont entertain the idea of moving Price. If Price cant stay healthy, and doesnt recover form, you wont be able to move him. I'm hoping he does, because he's such a fun goalie to watch.

Spot on. There’s probably 2 millions people in Montreal who wishes the same thing. If he doesn’t come back to form, we’re in for a hard and long 8 years, no matter who we draft or how many lottery we win

 

[780il]

Him turning it down. I would never give that up for Price. If Price isn’t the best goalie in the world every year of his contract without any debate and 100% healthy.......then that contract of his is brutal. That OP offer is too much from the Oilers and Im not even a Oiler fan

This, OP is brutal for the Oilers. Price is only worth that contract if he's performing as the best goalie in the world. No way he does that until he's 38/39.

 

[CupofOil]

Wait now, i think the Islanders can beat that offer:
Greiss, Laad, 1st, Komarov + 3rd rounder + Kuhnhackle lulz

You'll notice I added an additional piece of crap in addition to the collection of crap you already offered.

Yeah, "lulz" that you think that Talbot and Griess have equal value and that the abortion of a contact that Komarov is is equal to McLeod. Yeah, lulz indeed.

Price is great obviously but no interest at all in trading for that contract even if it means offloading the Lucic contract.

 

[Leafs87]

Price is just not available

More like Price is just not tradeable

 

[ChaoticOrange]

No interest at all

 

[didimentionlarseller]

More like Price is just not tradeable

meh Luongo says hi , Weber too

personally as a habs fan looking longer term I would trade him away for cap dumps and picks back it would be ideal

with Montreal able to take a ton of money back if he's ever traded Prices deal isn't really all that bad

 

[Leafs87]

meh Luongo says hi

Lu was good not falling off and his cap hit became under 5 with retention not 10.5.

 

[Hunter368]

Wtf ? Talbot dump, Lucic, dump, Mcloed ? He proved nothing and we have a ****one of mid tier prospect , yes even at center.

It's like Mtl will accept all the money dumping for a prime Carey price, did you even watched the game yesterday ? he made 3 saves of the night.


LMAO you are doomed with lucic and Talbot, enjoy them.

You realize when you make posts like this you lose credibility? Talbot is not a dump, B level prospect and a Oiler 1st is a solid return. Dump attached would be required with any trade for the brutal Price contract

Unless Price becomes & maintains the best goalie in the world title his contract is a significant liability. Any trade involving him would require the Habs taking a cap dump back.

 

[Aceboogie]

Do not want Price in the slightest bit

 

[didimentionlarseller]

Lu was good not falling off and his cap hit became under 5 with retention not 10.5.

yea I hear what you're saying but I really don't think Price has fallen off quite so much as the team around him cratered - the real problem now is how much can he pull it back when the team around him is still so bad - kind of tough to show positive movement when your team can't score

Habs dismantled the dcore in front of him and Bergevin was talking about pairing Weber with Benn at the golf tournament type levels of dysfunction before start of last season after he let both Radulov and Markov walk.

Last season is on his record but i wouldn't use that to guide judgement on his level of play.

I thought people knew that when I take the defense of Price I'm basing everything on his REAL self, not the price we seen last year and the year before due to injuries.

I'm not talking about a Price who finish the year with a 3.0, this would cause him to lose most of his value if he doesnt come back, but he will.

He will have to have a super strong season for a team to consider taking him with retention. He’s not getting any younger either. D core diminishing aside and the fact he had a kid recently he just doesn’t seem like the old Carey Price that used to carry MTL.

 

[CornKicker]

at first i laughed but then i checked to going rate for superstar players is 5 junks (Karlsson et al).

so Lucic, russell, 1st, 6th (stl) and cameron hebig for price with 30% retained. this deal meets all the requirements:
1. 5 Junks - Lucic, Russel, 6th, hebig and 30% retained.
2. 1 superstar player, when healthy is elite
3. one non junk piece for optics.

trade talbot to the islanders from something and everything is good.

montreal gets tougher and exeperience
edmonton takes a gamble but could have the best goalie in the world
nyi no one really cares to be honest

 

[Homesick]

I would never do this deal if I were the Oilers GM.
Over the past two seasons
Talbot 140GP .914sv%
Price 111GP .913sv%

Talbot is healthier, cheaper, and has looked very good all preseason(not just 3 saves lol) He's also in a contract year so I'd imagine he's pretty motivated.
That 1st is very valuable in todays NHL(look how many are actually traded these days), and I think McLeod is a very good prospect.
Lucic was horrible for 40+ games last year. Will he continue this season is still up in the air but getting out of his contract just to add a longer, larger, and even riskier contract(injuries) is asinine

 

[Riseonfire]

This was me making fun of the original offer. This was in no way serious and ended up going over your head.

Youre going to have to forgive people for not sharing your belief that Price magically becomes a Hart winning goalie again. Theres valid reason for skepticism here, and dismissing that is fool-hearty.

 

[McNuge]

I wouldn't trade Talbot straight up for Price. The difference between them is not 6+mil. No way is anyone taking that contract in a trade.

 

[Aceboogie]

Price stays in Montreal - Lucic stays in Edmonton.

Perfect. Because Price is one of the very few contracts worse than Lucic.
