5 years @ over 5 mil per for a goalie who hasn't played this year. Also, has never played outside Montreal... Not very tempting.
You would also have to pay for the 50% retention from Montreal or a 3rd team, just overall sounds horrible the more you think about it.
Don’t mean to be rude but no one wants Carey Price. He done a good job in the playoffs last year but his regular season numbers has been horrible, an he’s old, and his contract even at half ain’t a good deal.
this is not the best time to be putting price up for sale . due to his knee injury and personal issues it would be better for him to heal both mentally and physically . after his bonus is paid in july he's only owed 24 million . it'll be easier to get teams to absorb cap when it's not all real dollars . let teams like edmonton and colorado shit the bed again due to goaltending and they'll be looking for other answers . price playing healthy in his 35-36-37-38 years will be one of those answers
Price is a gamble at 10.5 max retained down to 5.25,
That's too much for most clubs to take on.
You would need to bribe a team w/deep pockets like the Rangers to acquire him for 10 seconds in a 3 way where he is immediately flipped, with NY eating another 1.5-1.75 getting Price down to about 3.5,
NY can't afford to do that unless there is both overpay incentive to add that much cap hit annually AND deal sufficient salary to create that cap 1.75 ish space. Since moving Strome + Geo + is already nec b'c there is big cap add beginning next season, our only option, taking into acct who has cap hit, hmc, and where nyr has depth, would be to flip Lindgren's 3m x 3
So that is a huge amount x 2 on both cap and incentive to move Lindy, going to NYj ust to get Price down to an actually appealing #.
Not impossible depending on how bad third team wants Price and sees him as a final piece, but also not likely,
