Price is inconsistent. The idea he would have won a cup with the avs is misguided. There are far better goalie options out there.

The Landeskog part is hilarious. Genuinely made me laugh. If they are getting a goalie trade a boatload for Gibson, not Price. Anyway, Grubauer will do.A few things have to happen for this to happen:
- Canadiens miss the playoffs by 2 points and the media blames a particularly bad game Price has against a non playoff team. The rest of his season has been strong but everyone can point to the bad game.
- Price loses faith in management when the team needs an adjustment and Bergevin in character does nothing.
- Colorado looks like one of the best teams in the league but their goaltending isn't good enough to get anywhere in the playoffs
- Landeskog threatens to look into free agency if Colorado doesn't make a big move to fix their biggest issue (goaltending)
- Geoff Molson stands by Bergevin and Price offers Colorado as a trade destination.
In that scenario? Colorado could get Price, and if they don't ask the Habs to take any cap back they could do it very cheap. If they are taking cap back, the price could be high.
It's a funny thing, Montreal and the old Quebec always attached with disgruntled goalies, but it works when one team is always finding great goalies and the other? Finding great forwards.
You do realize Price has been in the league for some time now and has yet to even play in a Stanley Cup final, right?We would have to get rid of some high contracts like Cole and E.J. But a great goalie of Prices ilk can certainly almost guarantee a cup. See. Roy 86, 93, 96 and 01

You do realize that Vasilevski would be dead by now if he had played behind the Canadiens defense.You do realize Price has been in the league for some time now and has yet to even play in a Stanley Cup final, right?
Is that your theory ss to why he frequently plays poorly?
Out of curiousity, what would you call someone you think is good but often plays poorly? Would you maybe say thats "inconsistent"?
So it's Price's fault if the Habs hasn't won the cup?
You guys are proving my point. Read the post I was responding to. "Goalies of Price's ilk..." certainly do not guarantee a Cup, as there are plenty of other factors at play.You do realize that Vasilevski would be dead by now if he had played behind the Canadiens defense.
Where can we shave $6.7 million from our roster and still compete? $10 million goalies are a detriment.Do you actually think Grubauer and Francouz I see Martin Jones 2.0. Good, just not good enough
Like it or not, Price is a great goalie with great pedigree, I absolutely think we win the cup this year with him in the net or at least make it to the finals giving us a chance. Do you honestly think the avs win their two cup with David Abershier or Marc Denis. Pretty much the same standard as we have now with Grubauer. Price is expensive but he’s probably the best option we have for a cup win

Proving your point?
It's a stupid point to make. Of course Price doesn't guarantee a cup.
f***ing McDavid himself, a player is better than anyone on the Lightning's roster (or anyone in the league for that matter) doesn't guarantee a cup either, bro. What are you thinking/talking about?
The point is that the Avs are an elite goaltender away to do some serious damage, and it so happens that Price is a top tier goaltender, if not the best straight up.
Lightning's won because they had elite talent on multiple lines, with a great d-corps and Vasi in goals. Avs, with Price in goals, would give them an equal opportunity, since they are stacked everywhere else.
You are not adding Price in a vacuum.
He comes with one of the ugliest contracts in the league and completely screws you over for the last 3-4 years of his contract. You basically have very little chance of winning if your 10M+ goalie starts aging. Especially on a team like the Avs that by then will have to pay all of his young star players...
Avs with Price would be a significantly weaker team especially once they have to pay Makar/MacKinnon/Landeskog...
They would be Toronto but way worse....
Kizsla. That you drinking and typing again? Apologies to the Habs fans that have to read this absurd idea of a Price to Avs concept. Some people know not what they say.Hypothetically speaking if the avs has Price in net this past year I think we win the cup. I know avs fans don’t want to pay “THE PRICE “ to acquire him and habs are never going to part with him but do the avs have what it take to pull off a deal to acquire Price without hurting their roster. Most avs fans would agree If we had Price in net that we would have probably won the cup this past season. What could avs realistically put together with picks and prospects to get price for a cup run.
Price at $6.5M-$7M gets you a 1st rounder at bestYou act like negotiations isn't a thing.
What if it was a 6,5M$ or 7M$ Carey Price?
Habs could retains (of course, the price for that would go up), but things can be discussed.
And would they be weaker? Price just took out the Pens all by himself. He has an impact on the game like few players has.
If Avs are trying to win NOW and are ok with throwing picks and prospects, some deals could be reached, I'm pretty sure of it.

Carey Price at $7M until he's 39 isn't a contract that has any value.Then there would be absolutly no deal to be made, because it's a stupid return, especially if we were to retains 3,5M or 4M per year, for 6 year.
The 1st would be the start.
Then prospects would have to be add.
Habs would most likely have to take a cape dump or something too, so, that has a price also.
That way, Habs can do a quick rebuild of 1 or 2 years, while they finish grooming Primeau, and Avs can compete for the cup for years to come, without touch their roaster.
Win-Win
Carey Price at $7M until he's 39 isn't a contract that has any value.
Why don't you guys find out for us?How about at 34-35-36 YO?
You have one of the best goalie in the World for a couple of years, and who knows how he will age?
