That was me . Montreal fans like pumping Price tires . He hasn't been good except 1 good playoff run and another decent one . His regular season have been meh . He hasn't played a game this year and Montreal think he worth a McDavid type of haul . Get it no one wants Price . You want to dump Price it going to cost you . It going to hurt . I don't see Price being traded at all as no team is going to want him . Montreal will probably have to buy him out in a few years .
Having said the above if Price comes back and plays light out of course he would have value with some retention , Say 33.3% . So just under 7 million
Nobody is "dumping" Price.
You trade for him.
And nobody is asking for a "McDavid" type of value. You're speculating/not reading what others said.
And you're trade offer was f***ing ridiculous, enough to be quoted.
A 50% Price is a 5,25M Price which would be an incredible contract.
You should know better about what's a bad contract: your team pays more than 4M a year for Koskinen and 9.25M for Darnell freaking Nurse.
Even without the contract, he's, by far, the best goalie available and if you want to try your luck in the playoffs, you'll have to roll the dice at some point. At 5,25M, Price should be a no brainer to a team with question marks between the pipes.
Otherwise anyway, who else is on the table? Which teams will agree to trade you their promising goalie prospect?
Nobody, that's who.
We tank and Price will be too old after the rebuild but your team is supposed to compete RIGHT NOW, unless I am missing something?
