Proposal: What would it take Price to the Canucks?

[THE Green Man]

This is not a must year at all for the Canucks to make the playoffs their going to be the last place team in the Pacific division. Montreal yes is in a slight rebuild or retool so to speak but these two clubs for a trade like that makes no sense.

Try last place by a mile in the Western Conference and hopefully last in the league. I can't wait to finish last and still draft 4th overall.

Great post!!!!!

It’s posts like these that make HF really worth coming to.

As far as your post goes, I think trading for Price is an excellent idea, but I’d stay away from that Weber contract. I don’t think Weber will age well and that contract is going to be Brent Seabrook level bad in my opinion.

The Canucks should absolutely attempt to get Price though.

I would Montreal our 1st, on the condition that they take a few bad contracts of ours (Eriksson and Gagner).

Do the Canucks need goaltending, yes. But they also need a whole new defence and 2 more high end forwards to even be playoff relevant. Trading our 1st round pick, that will be a high lottery pick in a draft in our own backyard is the absolute last thing we can consider doing. Unless it's a young superstar available, which Price is not anymore than it just makes absolutely no sense. [MOD]

Considering Weber and Price are over paid I'm pretty sure nobody is giving up cost controlled young assets for them especially a rebuilding team like Vancouver. A win now team missing a goalie or RHD might bite on one or the other with retention but not Vancouver at this time.

 

[member 290103]

Benning would be all over this. I suspect he would give up Horvat, Hughes, an unprotected 1st - whatever you want. Price is precisely what he values in a pro - overpaid, overrated, and on the downside of his career.

Knock off the flaming. If you don't want to discuss the trade premise, don't post.

 

[WhatWhat]

Forget the proposal... Why in Sams f*** is this a "must make the playoffs" year for the Nucks??? If anything this is a must suck year to get that last stud pick before trying to ramp up with the kids they got now

 

[didimentionlarseller]

This should be locked

Nucks are not in a win now situation and are rebuilding.

And have key pieces in place for a good team in a few years

yea but Price and Weber take the Canucks to the promised land

 

[Jumptheshark]

yea but Price and Weber take the Canucks to the promised land

no they wouldnt and if they could do that for the nucks that means they could do it for the habs--are the habs headed to the promise land? only if that promise land is a high draft pick

 

[Spirit of 67]

There has been discussion in Canucks land about whether we should tank or try to make the playoffs and I believe this year is a “must” year for the Canucks to make the playoffs. One way to do this is by trading this for Carey Price. The Habs seems to be in a rebuilding stage and trending downward while the Canucks are on the upswing and trending upward, looking to make the playoffs. Maybe the two teams can help each other. Montreal wants young pieces to move forward with and Vancouver needs immediate help on the back end and in goal. So Therefore I propose the following:

Markstrom
Demko
Juolevi
Virtanen
2020 1st
2019 2nd

for

Carey Price
Shea Weber

If I were Montreal, all it would cost is plane fare.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Also, why is this season a "must" to make the play offs?

Yah I don’t understand this either. Aren’t the Nucks rebuilding? I think last thing they would want is a over priced goalie. See what I did there?

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Why in the world would this be a "must" year for the Canucks to make the playoffs? It's pretty much the opposite of that. Also holy crap is that an awful proposal. Price and Weber's contracts are so awful they are pretty much untradeable. Especially to a rebuilding team.
Booooooo.

people saying price contract is "untradable" are so disconnected to the reality of hockey.

Majority of the people in this thread are asking why the Nucks would do it. Not many are saying it’s untradeable . Atleast I’m not. I just want to know why a rebuilding team would trade rebuilding assets for Price. It kinda defeats the purpose of rebuilding you know?

I think last place in the league is between the Senators Canucks .

 

[didimentionlarseller]

no they wouldnt and if they could do that for the nucks that means they could do it for the habs--are the habs headed to the promise land? only if that promise land is a high draft pick

our locker room is plagued with bad character I don't think Vancouver has a roster like Montreal's so it would work perfectly there

 

[triggrman]

Well apparently the Predators would have to give up. Rinne, Tolvanen and 2 1st round picks.

 

[Broad Street Buddies]

You forgot a 2nd round pick.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

If I were Montreal, all it would cost is plane fare.

I would happily take cap dumps back even and just make the trade for future picks

Should a rebuilding Canucks team be gutting their young depth in key positions and using high picks for two 31+ players who make about $20 mil combined for the next 8 years?

The answer is no.

The answer is no.

Correction: OBVIOUSLY no.

 

[deckercky]

Price for Erikkson, Sutter, Markstrom and 2019 1st (top 5 protected, or it becomes a 2020 1st)

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I wouldn't give up anything more than a 7th rounder for those two considering their contracts

If you would only give a 7th pick For Shea Weber , means ur know nothing about hockey which would not surprise me since this is the main board.

 

[Dan Kelly]

This is a MUST year to tank my dude. Lose 4 Hughes.

call the Oilers on how to tank. they are experts at it !!

 

[Son of Petter]

They were so good at it Bettman changed the odds and we’ve been screwed every year.

call the Oilers on how to tank. they are experts at it !!

 

[HandshakeLineRespect]

Carey Price is a cap dump.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

They can't afford to lose out on the Hughes sweepstakes.
Canucks happen to be my favorite Canadian team, they need to do the Lose4Hughes & then get a goalie.
