Post-Game Talk: Price Hits 40 With Back to Back Shutouts!

[Tabarouette]

No, it was Plekanec and Subban + 1st or something like that.

there are multiple report on that, one was also Price, Subban, someone else and a 1st

we'll never know

Doesn't really matter. There are dozens of proposed and almost trades every year.

 

[c3z4r]

didn't he try to trade him for Lecavalier too though?

No, it was Plekanec and Subban + 1st or something like that.

Yeah, he tried to trade Subban, Price, Pacioretty and a first round pick for him in 2009.

If anyone remembers a win streak we had earlier this season when it looked like whenever Price gave 2 or less goals, we'd win... His below 2.00 GAA for the season explains why the team is performing so well, period…

The team is used to playing this way. May not be pretty (apart from Price's heroics), but the team seems built around those types of games, regardless of what anyone thinks about Desharnais, Therrien, etc...

Dude, each time this rumored trade pops up, the return keeps increasing...

But Why?

truu, but I always saw vague sources for it, but this time it seems legit.

That would have easily been the worst trade in NHL history lol. I don't know how much I believe it though.

As bad a GM as Gainey was, I doubt he would have made that deal.

Soon the rumor will include guys that were not drafted back then

 

[DAChampion]

At the time Lecavalier was perceived as a 100 point elite centre.

He was perceived as much more than that....
Depending on your dial.

 

[Takeru]

I still can't believe that muppet put Pacioretty and Desharnais back after one shift last night. The offense scored barely any goals again last night but I guarantee we see those two back together again. I swear, he must not want to score goals.

Well, DD had the flu last week apparently, I guess MT put him apart from Pacioretty until he felt better to make sure our best goal scorer wouldn't get sick too. Now that there's no worries, he can put them back toghether

Just as he (MT) was edging towards an epiphany too.

 

[SquiddFX]

Next thing you know Chucky and Gally were also offered to TB for Lecavalier.

 

[Disappearing Semin]

Could you imagine Tampa today if they did make that "supposed" trade:

Top 6:
Pacioretty-Stamkos-Callahan
Palat-Johnson-Kucherov

Top 4:
Hedman-Subban
Coburn-Stralman

Price

We'd probably have Stamkos from finishing last. Maybe even Tavares as well, lol.

 

[Michelangelo]

Nope, Stamkos was drafted in 2008.

And I don't think we would have finished last in 2009 for Tavares, especially if you added Lecavalier to our roster back then. However, we might have gotten Hall, RNH in subsequent drafts.

Wasn't plekanec part of that offer too? Granted, he may have been a 3rd liner there.

Basically we were one trade away of becoming today's Oilers

This is the trade proposal I had always heard, Higgins, Pleks and Gorges...I seem to recall Lawton coming out several years after the fact saying it was quite a bit more, but the guys a total clown so I wouldn't put too much stock into the **** coming out of his mouth.

 

[CH25]

lol evey player was part of that trade if you believe the rumours.

 

[Brainiac]

Legit? Dude, all the links in the article were guys speculating. Doesn't make the article legit.

Don't you know about citogenesis?

Not wiki, of course, but this one is right up there.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

Your Dad wasn't necessarily wrong many of us argued Max could do so much more.
I'm looking forward to seeing Max take pride in doing the small things in the PO's that make a true champion. When the puck isn't cooperating there are other ways of contributing that will allow a player to keep his mojo.

yea he's a much stronger two way player this year tho and that scoring at his salary you just cant win a trade where you send him away was always my comeback thank god Max is around to stay

This isn't even close to what the offer was. Gorges I know was one of the pieces going back. Can't remember the others but that rumor has gotten so out of hand.

 

[DAChampion]

It was Gorges, Subban, Plekanec, Higgins, and some 1st rounders.

But I remember reading on Habs Inside Out at the timr of the near trade that there was a second, alternative deal on the table, involving Andrei Markov, Robert Lang, and I forget who else.
