Description

Price is obviously a HOFer but he is still on a bad contract. It would take a lot of courage to be the GM that traded Price, given his status in Montreal.
Could anyone come up with a reasonable trade of Price to another team?
It could be that half of his salary gets retained or draft picks are included.
Roberto Luongo was once traded when his contract was thought to be untradeable.
It would be very sad to see him go, but the contract is hurting them, especially when they have to re-sign the young guys like Suzuki, Caufield and Romanov (not to mention the fact that hopefully other young guys develop and merit increased salaries).
This was my best effort for the 2022- 2023 season (I don't think management can trade him in the year after he took the team to the Cup final, but if they don't do well this year, it could seem more realistic). The trade gives Price a shot at the Cup with the 2 Oilers superstars.
Let me know if you can do better.

only issue i see is EDM would have no cap space for a back up.

Bc price isnt good. Even at 50% retained (5.25) he still is a cap dump. Theres no way EDM considers this.

I’d rather stick with smith and kosk than bring price in. Can’t rely on his health and having a tandem with 39 year old and an injury prone star can become problematic in a hurry. I’d give up more to get Allen than price but I can’t see any of the assets involved here being in play for Allen.

Oh for -

Price doesn't have much to back up his HOF case so it's unfortunate to see it stated so definitively like that especially when HOF goalie analysis is still a mess*

*see: Osgood, chris

His best season was a 37 GSAA which isn't even in the top 50 all time: 80s leafs legend mike palmateer and rolie melanson have posted better seasons

His hart trophy was given largely because of wins 😬

His career 108 GSAA is very good but mostly boosted by gp and there are about 10 goalies not in the Hall of Fame who have done better like Guy Hebert etc.

By Goals Saved Above Average / gp he's just good

Very good career all told but HOF 🤨

Price is about a 2.5M$ G right now (jake allen type overqualified backup) and could decline any moment so they should still give up assets with retention

Retained 50% with Poehling + Evans sounds ok ✔

At 5M$ it'd be like the Neal contract for them again

Neal has been a pretty good player for EDM

He had 41 pts in 84 games for the oilers

Significantly plus possession player also

Price probably wouldn't even be that good for EDM
