Value of: Carey Price 50% retained to your team

[Goldenhands]

If price had more value. Seattle would have taken him and traded him themselves. The return would have been greater

Would the Seattle owners be willing to retain 50% on 4 more years, about 23 millions total if you include the reminder of the actual season? There is also the injuries factor, they didnt want to take that risk all factors considered.

Habs will only get a solid return if Price comes back at the top of his game and the medical reports are good, thats the scenario we are talking about. Price back at the top of his game with solid medical report = very good return.

yes with retention sure. That wasn’t the question I responded to. Price at full retention has no value. Price at like 7 and under has definite value.

 

[Baksfamous112]

He was left unprotected and Seattle didn't even want him for free. IF Montreal wants to move him they will have to retain and most likely add

Yep because they didn’t want a competitive team and went with building off the draft.. which make sense for them. Price also only waived for Seattle at that point and wanted either Montreal or Seattle.

Now that Montreal is likely going the full rebuild way, Carey will likely waive his NMC for a contender, which he refused to do this summer.

nice try though.

Price only lifted his NMC for Seattle, no guarantee he would extend it to another team.

That's great, but how is that even remotely relevant? You still finished last season with the 18th best record in the NHL, and 10th best among the Eastern Conference teams. Is that a playoff team, without the special covid divisons? What about finishing with the 24th most points the year before? Playoff team or not, without the special covid bubble play in round?

Great how is what your talking about even remotely relevant?

Never mattered what happens in the regular season look at the leafs they enjoy finishing top of the league until playoffs then boom its a quick road to the golf course,the stanley cup is won in the playoffs not the regular season

We might be ass but until you guys prove anything in the playoffs you guys arent in a situation to mock other teams neither

That being said i do like the Avs great roster on paper but alot to prove in the postseason

 

[IWantSakicAsMyGM]

Great how is what your talking about even remotely relevant?

How is pointing out that the Habs, with Price in net, can't make the playoffs without special covid rules relevant? Seriously? That's too really difficult for you to figure out on your own?

The thread has nothing to do with making the playoffs last season. Is that really too difficult for you to figure out on your own?

but he would now? Makes no sense? They had months to figure it out.

If this thread has nothing to do with making the playoffs last season, then why is every Habs fan pretending that Price's play in the playoffs last year proof that he has a ton of value?

It was his play in the playoffs. That has nothing to do with how we got in the playoffs. I get that's a hard concept for some to understand.

 

[LeHab]

He may or may not so the risk of potentially getting stuck with Price was not worth it for Seattle. Montreal was also pushing hard the whole need surgery bluff at the time.

Seeing as Habs are not going to be competitive for a while maybe Price willingness to lift NMC has increased.

Personally don't believe he will get moved - will probably end up on LTIR in 2-3 seasons.

If he comes back and plays well:

Price 50% retained

for

Samorukov or Lavoie
2022 1st
2023 2nd
Koskinen
Turris

The only reason he got to play in the playoffs is because of special covid rules, so you're going to need to explain how his play in the playoffs is somehow completely separate from the playoff berth he didn't legitimately earn.

 

[BudBundy]

he literally just carried us to the stanley cup finals this summer and we're trading him because we need a rebuild here and Carey doesnt help that

When Price is “on” and healthy, he’s incredible. So you’re partly right. The trouble is that there have also been a lot of times when he’s been a complete liability. His contract, even at 50%, is a big pill. And Father Time is undefeated. It’s fantasy to think any team is going to offer up anything if value for him.

Well if you didn't see the difference between his play in the regular season compared to his play in the playoffs maybe you should try watching a different sport.

He sucked in the regular season, just like he has for the last 4 years, but he magically figured out how to play well in the playoff games he didn't deserve to be in. But, we should definitely only look at the 22 games where he (mostly) didn't suck, because if I try to look at the whole picture to determine his value, I must not know anything about hockey...

 

[hardcorehabs]

Price 50% retained + Chairot
for
Koskinen + Keith + 1st + 2nd

 

[Boondock]

Price 50% retained + Chairot
for
Koskinen + Keith + 1st + 2nd

I could see the Oilers doing this no question - I don't see the Habs doing this. This is a long ways from the 1st, A prospect, B prospect ask from earlier in the thread.

Wouldn't trade Samo .. that will come back to bite the Oilers

 

[BatVader]

Big questions are will he waive his full NMC, does he want to get as close to BC as possible, does he want a chance at a cup

Ya he sucks so badly that the true hockey minds are wanting him to be the starter for team Canada but than again you know better then them.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

What's your best offer?

Nothing because my team doesn't need him

 

[IWantSakicAsMyGM]

Ya he sucks so badly that the true hockey minds are wanting him to be the starter for team Canada but than again you know better then them.

And you think that potentially being picked for an international tournament somehow means that his 0.901 SV% in the NHL regular season (52nd best among goalies with 5+ games played) last year was good? Or are you just continuing to throw shit at the wall in the hopes that something finally sticks?

 

[smack66]

no team is going to trade for Price until he comes back and shows he can still play. until then he is a liability both for performance and contract
