Matching needs

Possibly lacking in net, but creative idea

Youre crazy if you think we can get all that from philly for price. Their future 1C, their future starting goalie, and a first round pick. For a goalie that just came up a terrible season and an injury. Also whats with the scherbak trade? Have you watched any habs games while Sherbak was playing, the guy is going to be good, a huge part of this teams future

if you trade Price and expect JT to come, then you need to have someone decent in nets from day 1. While I agree Scherbak should be good, we have tons of wingers and no more NHL ready goalie in this scenario

As for the Price trade, it all depends on whether Philly wants to get a goalie now and go through the good days of Voracek, Giroux and the older guys or whether they want to build for 3+ years from now. They have the cap space, they have the need, who knows

IDK why you're being so critical. You're trading arguably the best goalie ever for unproven assets in: Nolan (Good and as potential but nowhere near to being a #1 C yet), Hart (Good in Junior, but contrary to players, it's also impossible to predict if a goalie will have the same success in the NHL), and a mid 1st round pick (Will most likely be a 3-4th line guy, unless you get lucky) .

And, What do you see in Sherbak that I am missing?

I think you guys have to distinguish between what people on here (CF) think and what the GM's IRL would think. They are two completely different things.

Everything on here is so black or white because their is no consequence to being polarizing. GM's don't always have the luxury of not doing anything for example. Sometimes they are simply puppets for the owner.

Carey Price on here is already being considered a cap dump for some asinine reason because of one bad season.... Which fair enough, in fantasy hockey that really diminishes a players value. However in the GM world I guarantee there are numerous teams that would wet the bed to get Price. Yeah sure Habs would have to either eat some salary or take back a bad contract to offset a bit of the high salary being taken on but make no mistake about it, we'd get a nice haul for it!

People on here are way to easy to write off players and have a weird mentality that if you can convince enough people here on CF that your right, that the irl GM might actually listen or something........That's why so many people try to "lowball" offer trades or undervalue thinking it will make it happen in real life or something? Nothing gained from it other than a fake understanding of what the masses actually think a players value is worth. Kind of defeats the purpose if the goal is to be as realistic as possible.

Do I think Price for those 3 pieces is fair? Probably not. Unless MTL retains, Philly couldn't even just take on Price's huge contract. But this is where the black or white comment rings true. Just because Price might not be worth Patrick, Hart and a 1st straight up necessarily doesn't mean he is worth a Macdonald, Morin and a 4th either.

This doesn't mean Philly HAS to want Price. There is a difference between not wanting and not needing.
