If the rumored asking price for Chariot is a 1st then you’re essentially trading garbage for Price with Montreal retaining.
Value of: Price to Edmonton

Zero interest. We can talk Chiarot. Retention on an expiring contract he can fetch a 1st. Zero interest in Price contract. Wouldn’t swap Koskinen’s expiring deal for the pleasure of Price cap hit.

Price makes Team Canada and plays well chance he has value around league. After last 2 playoffs no doubt he is money goalie. He took bad team to Finals last year. On good team....look out!
I think a deal for MAF is just much more simple as he's an expiring contract that Chicago would likely retain money on since it would just be for like 25 or so games left on the contract and Chicago likely takes whatever OK pick they can get since there's not a lot of teams looking for a goalie to begin with.

An elite goalie who's like a 3rd d-man on moving the puck is the opposite of what Edmonton needs? Might want to look up the definition of opposite, because I think your definition is the opposite of what it really means.

Rebooting myself
He is NOT the opposite of what Oiler needs.
Oiler want to win. He is motivated as hell to win, and he is absolutely amazing in playoffs/high stake situations. If Edmonton land Price - in my opinion it becomes the 2nd best goalie trade in NHL history after Roy to Colorado in that it would definitely lead to at least 1 cup, maybe more.
There's some risk of course too - especially due to injury/off-ice reasons (hasn't played yet this year) - but overall, I wouldn't say it's the opposite of what Edmonton needs. It's exactly what Edmonton needs. You probably go win a cup with McDrai - but when they fizzle out and come out flat (ie vs Jets) - you have an extra x-factor on your roster like Price who can save their ass and win for them, until they get going again.
No idea about trade value and what's fair or not though. I just know that if Oilers landed Price - it would do wonders for them. Starting with the cup in 2022.

Not even sure why this is still open?
Edmonton cannot afford Price nor do they want him at that price ...even retained at his age and current state ... Not what Edmonton needs.
Then people are like ... But he's a beast in the playoffs ... But for every good run he's had .. he's had the equal amount of trash runs ... What he did last year means nothing for this season .. and he's stats speak for themselves on this topic.

He is still worth his actually salary, it is him cap hit that is the problem at this point. He was already paid his $11M bonus this season and has $2M in actually salary left. And the remaining years on the contract see him making $6.75M, $6.5M and 2x $5.5M.
Seriously, it takes less than 3 minutes to look at hockeydb and his two most recent runs.
but you know. once price is in the po he becomes hasek. promise.
So he didn’t carry Montreal over their last two playoff runs?
The Sekera that plays in Dallas ? Edmonton bought Sekera out years ago . You know Klefbom may never play hockey again ? His shoulder is shot . His arm is a dead stick to the point he hasn't been able to play with his kids . It has been better since surgery but with 2 years out of the game he a question mark at best . I love Price but he is a often injured goalie who will become more fragile as he ages . To get Edmonton to take Price it would need a double retention . Montreal would need to retain max 50% and no way in hell they do it . Team 2 would need to retain another 25% .
10 M 50% retained = 5 million
5 M 25% retained =3.75 million x 5 year contract = lots of risk and most of the money is signing bonus = buyout proof .
I also know Prices cap hit is 10.5 . I use 10 for easy math and t is only a matter 187,500 dollars to Edmonton and additional 62,500 to team 2
Price just isn't a tradable asset . Even with Montreal retain 33.3% = 3.5 million to get him down that 7 million a year .
I did check and this were results. I mentioned only one since we were discussing his pefromance in last 3 years and this was only playoff run during that time.

How can some people still not understand this...
IF Price had any trade value, Seattle would have picked him up for free then flipped him to another place... They chose Cale freaking Fleury instead...
I mean... what do the "this is so bad for the Habs" people do not understand here? lol
If you want to get some value for Price, have to retain at least 3-4 M$ per year and even then, he won't return a 1st +

That is a good point, actually. I think if Price is going to land the kind of massive haul demanded by some Habs fans the Oilers are definitely better off avoiding him altogether.
I don't even want Price . My offer is the best I would do but my choice is to look else where . Also as I said Montreal isn't retaining 50% so it doesn't matter at all
You didn’t bother to look for real, did you? Because Montreal went through the play-in and first round of the playoff two years ago. You look bad - BAD now

To Edmonton: Price 50% retained + Arthuri Lehkonen
To Montreal: Broberg + 1st round pick + Koskinen
To Montreal: Broberg + 1st round pick + Koskinen
We were talking about Darcy Kuemper here . You seem to be confused.

Been beat to death… no Edmonton doesn’t want the term and cap hit of Price, no thanks
There is THIS ("Price to Edmonton") thread that is on page 1 of this forum... and not a chance the Oilers do this. Broberg is not going to be traded.
