Proposal: Montreal - Edmonton

[Big Empty]

We need to shed a lot of cap to get afford Ovechkin.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

From my perspective, both goalies are getting these stats in SPITE of their teams. The difference is that one team is 6-21-03 and the other is 16-11. Allen is left alone out there, but he has been phenomenal; he is the last guy i would blame for our situation. In fact, to get 5 wins, he needed to pull off two shut outs. I think Chiarot gets a 1st (or equivalent), but i realize that neither camp is budging and that only a trade will decide the issue.

Another thing about Allen and Koskinen is that Allen has been superior to Koskinen at 5v5. When it's PK time, however, he really hasn't been helping much - not like the defensive structure of the Habs help either.

 

[Seachd]

Habs retain 50% on Price, give them K and 3 good assets. Prospect and 2 first picks.

Get real.

 

[HuGort]

With how much of the goalie position is mental, I really have no interest in a 34 year old that hasn't played this year and has some very serious personal struggles right now. I'm not sold at all that his head would be in the game.

Up to you. Get your golf clubs ready

Save us a tee time, you'll be there long before we are.

Sorry, "there is but one Great Eight, and he does not share power".

Also, I can actually post him in the same picture with the Trophies, because he's won them .

Come on... how would you not want Benny C on your squad? The guy is a beauty on and off the ice who is good for a bar-down clapper every now and then.

As if Price is the only option. Ugh.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Are we sure that the OP didn't mean Haddaway?

 

[HabsAddict]

I would love to get rid of Price for a 1st. No retention.

So to the highest bidder he goes......

This will not happen,

There are other goalie options that would cost far less in terms of assets to obtain and in terms of cap hit.

 

[coopooter]

Or the Oilers just choose to not get absolutely hosed

 

[jfhabs]

This will not happen,

Most likely won't. But for us to retain 50% the return better be good. Otherwise we're just better of keeping him. He's very likely to finish on LTIR just like Weber . If we retain we'd still have 5+M of dead cap in 4years when we'll hopefully need it. If the return is a late first, it's clearly not worth 2-3 years of dead cap.

I'm not interested in Price at 5.25m for another 4.5 years. Too much risk that he's emotionally/mentally finished

 

[Dr Awesome]

No thanks, and Oilers overpay

I'm just explaining it from a habs pov. I'm not trying to convince anyone, just show our perspective. Price most likely plays 2.5y at the most.
He went into the program for subtance abuse (painkillers), not depression.
I'd also suggest using other terms, mentally finished doesn't really work in this day and age

It's Carey Price at 50%. The return will be good but some of the demands on here are ridiculous

That's a valid concern. He did also just bring a non playoff team to the finals.

Risk vs reward

Best money goalie in game. But whatever. We can't make a deal.

What you give us to take Kostinen's contract off your hands?

nothing, his contract is up in a year anyway and with Smith made out of particle board there’s so sense moving him without a replacement.

Exactly this. The Habs are best off just keeping Price and getting him back in net for the next several seasons. Price in the Habs net will be a big part of the Habs rebuild efforts over the next couple of seasons.

Some Habs fans struggle with the idea teams will look elsewhere (won’t consider Price) to fill a G need. But that’s exactly what will happen.

Avs made a deal with Arizona. I could see the oil look at MAF or Geo over in New York. There are other options as well.

That is exactly what I think. Holland will target someone like MAF @50% or something.

I’d be nervous and annoyed if the Oil sent their 2022 1st to Chicago for MAF at 50%. Would make the Oil real dangerous come playoffs. He’s a very interesting rental given his expiring contract and likely retirement. He’d be focused in the playoffs.
