Proposal: Montreal and Edmonton

[Goldenhands]

Before you pull a muscle laughing too hard, remember that Chariot is only a rental for a few months, especially for the Oilers who aren't exactly a hotbed for top UFA's to sign! (although yes they did get Hyman!! )

Oh, Im not laughing at the Oilers not willing to throw a 1st for Chairot, if they want another early exit, thats they choice. Im laughing at the guy saying Chairot will barely return a 2nd lol. Thats minimum 2x2 but Im totally expecting a 1st + personally. This thread will be fun to read back in a few months.

Chiarot isn't worth a first, but Lebrun did say he is likely to return one. It all depends on the market come trade deadline. So it's far from impossible that a team does pay a 1st to get him, but we shall see.

We're at the point where any Oilers - Habs thread needs an instant lock.

Ya we are all laughing about that.

Montreal is not retaining on Price.

Then Montreal is not trading Price...

 

[McVespa99]

Who said that? Link?

Get real man. The only way the Habs could trade Price without retention is if they take back a contract which is just as bad and long term to cover half of his contract. Which amounts to the same thing as retention

Ok so what’s the matter then?

Montreal can and certainly will take on a few couples short term contract to make it work just like Arizona did with Vancouver. However, these contracts are going to be less than 3 years terms. For example, Montreal could take Kassian, Turris and Koskinen as well as a solid prospect and a first round pick. However, they won’t take a Skinner (for example) or a Vlasic back.

I second this.

 

[HuGo Sham]

I second this.

agreed. let the oilers have their playoff run with that D and goaltending tandem

lock it up!

 

[ManofSteel55]

Oiler fans don't want any long term bad deals but I wouldn't be shocked if Holland agreed to trading for Price at 50% retention for Koskinen, Turris and our 1st.

 

[glenbuis]

Oilers would match anything thrown at Bouchard. And which team is going to toss out big bucks on Bouchard for an offersheet?

montreal will in two years

That’s not going to get you CP31. At 50% retention Habs will get much more than that garbage + a late first

 

[Chayos]

I am pretty sure he is fine with that. This was his ceiling for CP31. I think the oilers need to be including a player with Term like Barrie or Kassian to make this work even with 50% retention. Next years cap disappears with 14 player signed without moving out cash.

To MTL-Koskinen, Turris, Barrie, 1st 2022, Benson

To Edm: Chariat and Price at 50%.

MTL flips Barrie to for a 2nd and a prospect.

Honestly I wouldn't blame him if he got that Price at that price.

 

[ManofSteel55]

I don't know if they would. Remember, this is a guy that has negative value right now. We don't know how much the Habs would have to retain to give him away for nothing.

It's basically Price for a 1st also, as the other two deals are expiring. I wouldn't blame the Habs for not doing that trade either for the record. I don't think it makes much sense for them to trade him at all given the fact that they will have to either take back another awful contract or retain so much that they will basically be paying whoever they replace Price with the same amount. Price at 50% is 5.25M. The average NHL starting goalie cap hit is 5.2M (using the top 30 goalie salaries). So even if Montreal retains 50%, to get an average NHL goalie, they are looking at paying basically the same total cap hit for their starting goalie. They might as well just keep him.

If they are near the bottom of the standings, that would be a bad idea. Bouchard is a great young player, but a team mid-rebuild shouldn't be giving out an offer sheet that has multiple first round picks going out. They could be giving out offer sheets that include giving away two first round picks+.

Wow i guess we can finally say a terrible trade for the Habs involving Price.
