Can we put an indefinite ban on Drai to MTL posts? It's just not happening.
Luckily it is nothing more then online nonsense and is never going to happen anyway. The Oilers do not need need Price and will not be trading a 22 year old that is already a very good player for a 29 year old with only another year on his contract.Sorry Oiler fans.This is real bad for you guys.

Yes please ,since we are not the ones asking for RNH. Most of us wouldn't offer what the Oilers are asking for a 2nd line center.Please. RNH too while we're at it.
In hindsight could you imagine if....
TOR Matthews
WPG Laine
CBJ Dubois
MTL Sergachev
CGY Puljujarvi
VAN Juolevi
ARI Tkachuk
BUF Nylander
...we walked out of that draft with Subban and KELLER!!!!!

Price's lack of success in the playoffs is due to the Habs not being able to score. Sorry, not buying into Price is not worth it BS. However, I do respect that you rather take your chances with Talbot. If Talbot is the goalie you think he is, he won't be costing $5M for very long. Expect to pay him north of $7M very soon! So many people are not factoring in inflation and the cap likely to be $80M next year. Price's contract and age structure is very similar to Lundqvist (% of cap). It's nowhere near as bad as what most are pretending it to be.
Why creating a Drouin vs Draisatl proposal when it has been reported that Chiarelli has offered Draisatl for a deal where Pacioretty is involved? I think that this is what is the main interest for everybody
Even if the offer is..
Drouin (50% retained)
Gally (50% retained)
Price (80% retained)
Weber (90 % retained)
for
Draisaitl
..we'll get some more delicious ''Meh, anyway I doubt Montreal have the pieces for him''.
That's why
Just for the record, I think Price was the best goalie in the league. No question in my mind.
His injuries are a major concern though. Lundquist did not have injury issues that Price has had, and Price is too young to be battling serious injuries like that. I know... I'm a 42 year old goalie.
Also, Price's career SPCT in the playoffs is 0.914. The league average save percentage in the playoffs is:
2017: 0.920
2016: 0.917
2015: 0.921
2014: 0.912
2013: 0.923
2012: 0.921
2011: 0.916
Admittedly, Price has done better more recently (and terribly early in his career), but it's hard to argue he's a playoff performer.
Anyway... going forward I'm much happier saving $2.5M in cap by keeping the younger, healthier Drai vs Price.
No deal to be made.
Where has that been reported? That would be surprising to say the least.
Funny because we haven't seen/heard anything of sorts around here...
Aren't the Habs "Nothing without Price"?
In all honestly, I don't think Price is being traded this season. However, what we do from now till the start of next season will dictate how Price feels about our ability to win a cup in his next 8 years. If Price asks for a trade, teams will step up and the Oilers may or may not be one of them. Habs would likely retain $1M and the offers would come in. Pretending that Price would not be a piece many teams would drool over is unreasonable.
1. Yes
2. Maroon + Strome
Walk away from Maroon and Strome and the Oilers are well below cap ceiling next year.
Lucic-McDavid-Puljujarvi (20M)
Caggiula - Draisaitl- Yamamoto (12)
Slepychev-RNH-Kassian (9M)
Khaira-4th liner - 4th liner (3M)
~45M
Yes i did walk away from all the ufas and rfas.
18-19
9 players earn 4 mil. + total 55 mil.
1 player earns 2 mil total 57
13 other contracts at 1 mil max total 70 (13 X 1.5 mil is 20 mil or 77 total)
That means no raise for Slepychez, Caggiula, Nurse, Benning
Plus 1 mil Pouliot?
13 out of 23 would earn 1 mil max? 4 elc but still...

I'm sure this was brought up before but I'll throw it put there anyway...
Pacioretty & Galchenyuk for Draisaitl
If this is not close for Oilers fans then there's no deal to be made and I agree that Drai to MTL threads should be banned from HF.
so a 29 year old 1 year away from ufa and a guy that has spent time on ur 4th line (two different coaches ) and isn't even a C... for drai, yes pls lock all threads Mont fans seem to think they should be the only team to come out well in trades

Do you really think the Habs would ever retain on Weber for the next 8 years? Not a snowsballs chance in hell.
Within reason, the Habs don't have the pieces for Draisaitl.
Yeah sure if they retain big on Price or Weber then yes they do, but without that, they can't work a trade for him.
So they sign him to a huge contract just to trade him 3 months laterEDM Trades
Drai
Habs trade
Drouin
2nd
McCarron
That's fine. The Oilers will just keep their has-been player then.
You can't retain more than 50% salary, and you can only retain salary on three players on any one time... mute point.
