Proposal: Trade Thread #63

[Sterling Archer]

Apparently, Edmonton and Colorado where two teams asking about Price last October. Two good partners that I think most around these parts have brought up in the past as well.

Edmonton has nothing aside from their big two and they surely won't send Nurse our way.

Colorado has pieces but realistically, what is Price actually worth ?

I have a feeling they may have lost interest, but then again Price's reputation among GMs seems to be invincible

 

[Mike Towers]

Dunn and ghost are the only realistic targets . Ekholm will cost the farm and Girard isn’t moving

Would rather have Vatanen than Ghost way better contract he is a RHD but plays the left side.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Price is a curious case as his contract is a serious impediment to any trade. That being said, his value is whatever the GM thinks it is. Holland was the Wings GM when they were battling Colorado for Cups in Roy's hayday and Sakic was Roy's teammate who won cups with him. Both are acutely aware of the benefit of a goalie like Price. Bergevin/future GM's job will be not getting fleeced like peanut did. Certainly, a trade can be worked out with both teams, more so with Colorado IMO who have more pieces and cap than Edmonton.

Price has such reputation of top goalie since the last 10 years that he still have a value.
Problem is, actually lot of teams have better results in net for so much less money$.
But that leaves fewer teams who are looking to improve their G.
No team out of 30 not interrested in Price I can't beleive it.
Thing is, his value might have gotten down a bit, it's a question of beleive he's gonna be good again with a new start. The answer is yes.

The reality is that Price and Weber should have both already been dealt. Trying to open a non-existent window with these two instead of building for our true window with our youth has been one of MB's major mistakes.

I wonder if Price wants to leave...

I wonder if Price wants to leave...

At some point, I think players are ok with a change of scenery. Especially so when you’ve been there a long time and the team expresses they think you should move on. No one wants to be where they’re not wanted. NMC just makes sure he has a say in where he goes and not traded to Buffalo.

If he has any pride, no. But right now I question his motivations so maybe he just wants to take it easy out West now that he has a family.

What better time to do that than this summer with Seattle. The resurgence of Fleury might make Francis think that Price can also bounce back similarly. Loads of cap space, face of the franchise, you can get him for free.

I think he would have pride to move on. Super easy to just stay in montreal and take the money regardless of starter or sent to 2nd line goalie. Pride would mean giving up on your childhood team and trying to win on a contender.

Everything else aside. I do wonder how he would look with a different team in front of him

Goddamn yes

Apparently those are Eichel offers. I was going to say this guy is wack.

No way the Habs can't beat those if so.

Bring on the 8-L home

He's probably the most reputable hockey sports writer in Boston. Great and reliable source. Even I, a Habs fan follow him on twitter.

I imagine price would show his previous form elsewhere. Someone signing him is looking at cup runs with good D and he’d have more help than ever if it was a good team

Maybe Carolina could be an option in the offseason. Both Mrazek/Reimer are UFA at year end, plus they would probably find the appeal in Price's contract as the amount of cash to be paid is quite a bit lower than the cap hit. Price wouldn't have to deal with the media like he does in Montreal, plus Carolina is a solid defensive team.

Habs could take on someone like Gardiner if needed to help Carolina's cap space.
