Proposal: Montreal - Edmonton

[Junohockeyfan]

Your eating 10 million right now so I guess that is better?

LTIR. Once he is healthy we are paying him to play and he stabilizes the team.

The Habs are not bad enough to get in the conversation for Wright without a lottery ball win.

Habs sit in 2nd last place. They are definitely in the conversation for Wright .

No one is thinking that because it would not happen, which is my point. Price will be moved with retention, so that MTL gets an asset rather than pay big to move that contract. If rebuilding is the plan then having an aging superstar goalie makes no sense. Get the asset and fill in the starter role with a filler piece until you build back up. The Price contract will end before the rebuild drafted players are in need of wage increases. The extra 1st will help speed up the rebuild if used correctly. MTL has been good lately with pick's of Caufield and Guhle so the pick should turn into a player for them.

My offer as an oiler fan is the following:

To Edm: Price at 50%

To Mtl: Koskinen, 2022-1st, Lavoie

Habs laugh, hang up.

Habs wouldn’t eat 5M per year and give you an asset in a reduced cost Price for that. Ridiculous.

Habs would stay the course and rebuild with Price.

Even at 5.? million; Price is overpaid

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

vegas isn't in canada dude

yeah... got pointed out... my bad

So when he carries the Habs in the playoffs and to a cup final he’s overpaid? That’s plain stupid!

 

[HuGort]

Mentioned on Habs boards. I voted against it. Allen, Chiarot for Bourgault and Kostinen.

 

[McSuper]

Habs laugh, hang up.

1 fan is making this comment . The Oilers don't even pick up the phone to make the call and if Montreal calls




Holland plays with Montreal

 

[Chayos]

will only have to move up one spot for that lottery win .

I missed the injuries. Your right you guys suck.

 

[VainGretzky]

Gross for the Oilers lol

 

[McVespa99]

Price was a great hall of fame goalie. But, at his age and with his personal issues no team can count on that level of play going forward. You wont be able move him without close to 50% retention or taking back contracts that are just as bad and long.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Seattle could have had Price for free, and did not pick him.

That is what Price's value is.

I agree completely that Price is a tough sell, but is Price really a hall of famer? The NHL goalies who have been inducted over the last 15 years all have multiple Cups and Vezinas and are top 5 all time in career wins. I don't see how a single great NHL regular season and 20 career international games behind a powerhouse Team Canada gets him in.

He plays for the Habs

 

[General Fanager]

They have the 2nd best shot at him as it stands right now. Also even if they don't get him one of the other top picks is exactly what The Habs need right now so its all good news when it comes to the draft. Add that it won't be MB or Timmins making the pick and its even better news.

 

[HabsAddict]

I'm not sure why people don't understand that if we eat half of Price's salary in order to move him and then pay 5 million for a mid level goalie, might as well keep him. Is that really hard to understand?

So unless something substantial is coming back, he's not going anywhere.

 

[IWantSakicAsMyGM]

He plays for the Habs

So did Theodore, who won a Hart and a Vezina, but he's not a hall of famer.

For the most part it’s Habs fans that you have to explain this to because not many other fans are interested in Price at full hit or half
