No one would take him at his full rate. Even at 50% retained he is worth nothing due to the length of the deal.
- mauryballstein

Settle down, guys. He has plenty of value. Just ask the GMs in Calgary and Philly how difficult it is to nail down a quality starting goalie

The contract is huge, but it's what he's worth. Dude won a Hart trophy a couple years ago, and was nominated for the Vezina last year. Get him out of the toxic waste dump that is Montreal and he'll win another very soon

He's single-handedly dragged a garbage Habs team into the playoffs on multiple occasions. That's true value, and people will pay for it, despite the price tag attached

Eklund is out to lunch with his proposals, sure, but that guy has never predicted anything accurately in his life. Price won't command multiple top-tier prospects, but the return will still be significant

Hey Eklund... Can you remove the part about the Oilers from the blog? I'm afraid it may result in Chiarelli doing that deal. Thanks

you have nothing to worry about.

chia would never pay that little in a trade for price.

Price isn't the best goalie in the world***

Screw it, I'm a glutton for punishment:

STL: Allen, Lindbohm, Dunn, Steen (for cap balance)

MTL: Price

STL fans might call this an overpayment, but you have to remember the self-importance MTL's fanbase places on its players.

So the oilers n trade draisatil and spend 25m on the cap for mcbutthead n price....part of being able to compete in the cap is finding decent priced goaltending, if chia makes this move thats a joke
- Jordy8

Typical Pittsburgh fan calling McDavid mcbutthead, why would you do that?
Also Draisaitl's cap hit next year is 8.5 million so it is not out of the realm of possibility that it could happen.

I think Price would love to go back out west. Edmonton or Calgary seem more in need of his services than Vancouver

To that end...

to Edm: Price, Patches and Alzner
to Mtl: Draisitl, Nurse, Yamamoto and their 2018 2nd and 2019 2nd

or

to Cal: Price and Benn
to Mtl: Smith, Bennett, Tkachuk, Stone and 1st in 2019

then

to Philly: Smith and Patches
to Mtl: Simmonds and Laughton

ZERO CHANCE

Ok Halak, Ho Sang and Calgarys number 1 hows that for a starter?

As a Calgary fan they can keep him thank you very much.

I've got a couple of whoppers:

#1

to Pittsburg:

-Price
-Galchenyuk

to Montreal:

-Malkin
-Murray

Montreal would get that big center they need and an above average goalie. Pittsburg gets a cheeper forward that would do great in Pitts and one of the best goalies. I would even consider taking on Letang's contract to make this deal happen.

#2 my favorite

To Winnipeg:

-Price
-Pacioretty
-Petry

To Montreal:

-Laine
-Trouba
-Hellebuck
-1st and 2nd pick 2018
-1st rd pick 2019

I think this makes Winnipeg a legitimate cup contender. Winnipeg would have to sacrifice Laine for a real shot at the cup. Then Montreal tanks to draft as high as possible.

Don't overvalue your players too


Only thing I'd prefer (but MTL would never go for it) is to retain Dunn and move the rest. It would still be fair, but like I said, we all know what the expectations for a guy like Price are in that market.

BTW our un-trade-able $10.5M goalie just stood on his head and finally stole us a game! Plan the parade route! He has become such a tease!

Take a hike idiot. That is two of the dumbest proposals I’ve seen on HB. And there have been some doozies...

Lol no

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.
