Carey Price's value

Caps happily past. Don't know if anyone wants that $10.5M contract.

Stone, Chabot, and a 1st for a goaltender? Not a chance Ottawa would consider that trade

This is like the most impossible question to answer. There are 3 things that make trading Price impossible.

1) People value goalies less than any other position. (In trades at least)
2) He's set to become very expensive and virtually no teams have the space to just add a 10M plus player.
3) There's no market for franchise goalies anymore. The days of needing a Hasek, Brodeur, Roy type goalie to win a cup have long gone. Teams can win with rookie goaltenders like Murray, Cam ward, etc or even sub par goalies like Niemi for example.

Realistically if you compare just straight up talent level value, Price is worth a #1 center straight up. He can influence the game as much as any position can in the game at times. Taking into consideration IRL evaluations and needs/markets, he'd get no more than two 1sts and a decent but not top line player unfortunately.


Edit: Due to the reason mentioned above, that is why trading him if you already have him, is not worth the return.

In any trade you need a goalie coming back to MTL or we're screwed. Plus, Price is a Hab for life.

Why? You could easily trade for another goalie afterwards and there are plenty of teams with an abundance of goalies. I do agree though he is a Hab for life.
