Eklund: Could Carey Price Be an Oiler Soon? (E3). Buzz @1:00

No. Just NO.

Fleury might be done after this year, so who would backstop the 2nd cup?

I would love if Edmonton would take him, but cant see it happening he is a great goalie but the contract was way to much to offer. 8 mil would have been enough. Love Carey Price but if they can trade him do it.

Fleury is a much better option. price is overpaid and has more playoff losses than wins

So simple to add that much cap. Should just trade for both MAF and Price. As if goaltending is the biggest problem right now.

You should remove that contact from your phone. Who ever it was is completely delusional. The oilers would be worse with either Price or MAF. Their goaltending is stealing games left and right so far this season.

also cheaper to acquire at the TD or sooner and less of a cap crunch for Holland, heck if Fleury likes what he sees in Edmonton he could go a year or two at like 3 million per .

Only if they are prepared to give up at least 2 of the following and perhaps a 1st round pick:



The Bison King, Bouchard and/or Dylan Holloway

Price ($2M retained) to Philly for JVR and Jones! Make it happen!
Goalies seem to die in Philly. Let's see if Price has the antidote!

Good grief.

You have to ask yourself If adding Fleury or Price makes you alot better than you are now.

He’s completely making it up because oilers owner Katz is probably the most hands off owner in the league. He rarely even goes to Edmonton. He leaves the team completely to Lowe and Nicholson.

I hope Price lives a long and healthy and happy life after hockey, With that said perhaps It would be In his best interest now to walk away from hockey just for this season and focus fulltime on Important things like mental health and addiction issues. The toxic Canadian hockey media could easily put him back into the darkness.

Ek is somehow convinced the Oilers are targeting a "big name" goalie. So he's trying to link MAF, Price, and I'll go on a limb and predict Jonathan Quick's name gets brought up as the season goes on. It sure seems like these are all Ek's ideas, and not any actual sources.

Also, Montreal would be happy to give Price away rather than be stuck with his contract for the next 5 years. His trade value is zero. Obvious to anyone who understands how the cap works.

As has also been pointed out, Oilers owner is a total recluse. He doesn't say anything publicly.

lol, you clearly didnt watch playoff hockey in the east much, when he cares ( thats almost exclusively in the playoff now) he simply the best out there

and he as done that with very average team ( at best) in front of him

What? You don’t say? Ek is was wrong? Noo f-ing way !

MAF actually makes some sense since it is the final year of his deal, if Koskinen's play goes sideways or is Smith it toast for the season. But to take on the 4 years after this one of Price's deal, yikes. We did, however, see Holland give up assets to acquire a full price Keith though, soooooo.....

Yup. Last time he even showed his face in Edmonton was when they made big management changes and all the media were surprised to see him. He has been through some health challenges and even the msm have said they never hear from him or see him. But I’m sure Eks source knows better.

Varlomov for Koskinen(Cap compliance) + picks/prospects.
Money will be close for this year.....Varlomov got Isles to Games 6 first year and Game 7 the next vs Tampa. Not Too Old....Not too expensive - with a year left.
Just give it a few more starts for him to prove he is healthy.

Why? Koskinen is far outplaying Varly right now.

I love that the article is about carey Price with a jake Allen photo.

So basically Ek has a source with a recluse owner, while all the beat writers in a hockey mad city like Edmonton are in the dark. So Katz told Ek's source that he wants Price to win a couple of Cups...but that news didn't go to anyone else. I guess it's possible. E3.
