9 was the discussion. I'd assume they would want more.

Carey Price has had 1 above average season since the 2016-2017 season

Then he got red hot in the playoffs last season in a short season playing against an all Canadian division.

His career with his injury history is questionable at best on if it will regain even average of what he was the last 5 years. Any team trading for him is not getting 2014 Carey Price. He is more likely to be traded because of his massive cap hit then he would be traded because he is a good goalie.

Montreal is more likely going to have to pay someone a high draft pick to take him, then they would be getting a high pick for him. If there is a GM dumb enough to trade a high pick for him now Montreal would jump at it (looking at you Arizona).

There are factors outside of hockey (history with the community, mental health issues, etc.) with Price, but if the Canadiens were offered 9OA for him, they would take that and run.

they would run for pick 89, let alone pick 9

yeah are you kidding, he's an albatross. they'd probably take buffalo 2 and still sell it as a smart return for the future.

he's probably worth a 4th. massive on ice liability.

my goalie Target would be Carter Hart out of Philly... Thoughts...

My trade proposal would be UPL and a 3th for Carter Hart.

I just don't think UPL is going to stay healthy and I like Hart. I just think he needs a change of scenery.

Them sign someone like Anderson/any vet as a back up to Hart.

In a year or two if he hasn't retired by then the Habs are going to have to give someone a first to take him off their roster and cap hit.

We can make light of this all we want, but the top seed in the Eastern Conference obviously doesn't know what it takes.

Strip club until 3am AFTER a loss? 🀣 Their skill players not showing they can play out of character and make the sacrifices necessary to win? Pathetic.

I said before the season started that I didn't think they'd make the playoffs. Obviously, a terrible take. But they were brought to school and paddled in front of the entire class.

So you compound your horrible take with a fresh one today?

He's still someone you could buy low on. He desperately needs a change of scenery. I don't hate that idea.

Hart will be 24...not 42. I would rather try for the young kid who showed some success but has been in a dumpster fire in Philly

Hart would be an interesting investment, but I'd be pretty surprised to see Philly give up on him.

Hubredeau had 1 more point.... Some called him a hart finalist.
- DirtyDan


Ok, so huberdeau had 1 more point than Sam.

Great, he also had a bad playoffs....

They both did. Huberdeau at least scored 1 more point.

Would cost more. And why would they want to move on from him? Would just prolong their rebuild

I like it. It's a risk for both sides. If UPL can ever stay healthy he might be the better goalie while Hart could rediscover his form

Is your dream goalie scenario John Gibson starting, with Carter Hart backing him up?
