the sekera contract isn't bad.

now that lucic contract, woof!
- Steven_Stamkos

I like Lucic... I just wish he could hit an empty net at two feet away

5.5 ending 2022 for a guy that is at best a 4th def...sounds pretty bad to me

At least Lucic is ( use to be ?) Scary...

2021

4th d-man right now, as he just came off of an injury... Maybe give him 10 games back before you crap on him. Last year the guy was awesome.

Don't know what league you're looking at but ~5mil is pretty commonplace for a guy that anchors a second pairing when he's not recovering from injury. Good for around ~30 points, solid to good possession metrics and 20-22 minutes per night of above average hockey. Bit of an overpayment, but that's UFA.

I get that you're confused by what constitutes a Dman that's worth his contract with all the overpayments on Montreal's backend, but keep it inside

Not even close... Not even close. The Price contract is absolutely horrid... Sekera's isn't even bad.

I don't think anybody will argue that it was a good contract. Especially to a goalie in a nowadays hockey

But I just like how you bunch of crappers come here trolling when you had a billion first overall pick in arrow and CANT EVEN MAKE THE PLAYOFF

not even talking about winning a cup, just simply make the playoff...

Pathetic losers, STFU

Price isn't even the unequivocally best goalie in the league and now at 10.5 mil until he's almost 40? Yeesh! You can keep him.

That isnt really fair given the poopstorm that plays in front of him

I'm pretty sure there has been over 10,000 blogs here discussing how the Oilers picks haven't made them as good as most would have expected...

But this blog is about trades for Price, and we've been sticking to that topic. If you think Price is worth anything near what you guys are suggesting, you're bat-sh1t crazy.

Implying that another team's ability to make the playoffs is at all relevant to the value of a Carey Price Ad homenim attacks are what one uses when their argument can't stand on its own.

How is pointing out that Carey Price isn't worth near what the proposals in this thread are demanding trolling? Nut up, man. Not everyone that disagrees with you is a troll; that's the far-left's dogmatic approach to discourse and it doesn't work.

How? I didn't say he's not a great goalie; simply that he's not unequivocally better than his peers (Holtby, Bobrovsky, etc) to the point where he's worth 3+ mil more than them. That sort of overpayment will impact his value regardless of how good he is.

he thinks sekera's contract is worse than lucic's.

i don't think he's going to understand your post.

But you are saying he isnt as valuable because he is on a poopty team. You are comparing goalies that are on different sides of the spectrum. CBJ and WSH are top 3 teams in the east whereas Montreal is a dumpster fire

Where exactly did I say he isn't as valuable because he's on a bad team? Do you mean the part where I said he isn't unequivocally the best in the game? Because I thought that even before this year.

The hit to his value is exclusively a result of his horrendous contract. His slip in play factors in but registers as little more than a blip on the radar when compared to the actual issue at hand.

Not a chance in hell Price goes to Philly.

Goes against the plan, makes no sense, and would put three guys making almost 30 million combined.

The Flyers are not in a win now mode, and can wait for Hart.

My God, Hart's numbers in the WHL this year is unreal

This blog makes me smile...ill give you in inside scoop and final word here on the carey price trade!! Its never going to happen no one will ever take on this contract unless the salary cap increases by about 75% or montreal eats around 35% of it and then no one still gives you anything close to these trade offers for him. Neither has much chance of happening. Id say montreal fans need to get there heads out if there "you knows" and keep there fingers crossed for a last place finish and hopefully get that coveted franchise swedish dman and try to build around him and have weber mentor him. But more then likely they lose patients and turn around and trade him for a young french canadian bandaid with a history of not being a team player a la sergachev! Thats the final word!
