Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Habs have a great group of draftees coming through. It is time this team is honest with its self - the current core is done. All players over 26 of good value, other than Weber (leadership for young core) and Danault ( Jack of all trades, vital for local market) should be made available. This team is in a good position to build with Domi, Suzuki, Romanov, Caulfied, Primeau, Brook, Kotkaniemi, and perhaps Byram, Korczak and Puljujärvi plus up to 4 1st rounders for the draft in montreal.

This team should finally adopt a 3 year rebuild plan.

Habs fabs are just embarrassing pathetic with these price trades by now

Do you guys ever listen to other fans? No one wants price for free, much less for their best prospect

That's a really hard pass from Vegas. Nothing against Petry, but he is not worth KK and our 1st. That said, some other team might bite depending on their prospect pool.

And I agree, I can't see any GM in the league taking on Price. Good goalie, bad contract.

has been a good goalie, but his last 3 years have been pretty pedestrian to at times awful. hes 32 and declining, it happens. His days as a lock to be a top goalie in the league are over.

Guys, by now you should know the habs fan who knows their hockey and players value, 99% of habs fan trading price do not look at the reply and never comments. We all know ( real habs fan ) Price won’t get traded because 10.5M is insane. Price is still good, but at 6M

Very Ironic that the title is "time to be honest" and then trade all that mediocrity for an abundance of youth stars and high end picks lol

There is no way Detroit would do that Price's contract is awful. It would take a lot of sweetener to get a team to take on that contract.
