A mistake

What if they went for price?

They wont, teams dont want to pay a player until he is 92 years old 11 million a year

it would be a mistake and no way would MTL retain that much.

Obviously you can’t read soooo that’s cool

Ehh like I said it’s for fun but I can see if Montreal doesn’t turn it around he’s going to ask for a trade and at his level they would have to oblige but also like I said nobody is take it at more than 7 maybe 8 mil

Another bad trade.

Such a trigger salty little guy??

I love guys like you, just trying to elevate you to the levels of the legends Eli and Seby

Don’t know who those are but ok

Horrible for both teams really, an unnecessary trade.

Not good. Maybe his sv% and GAA improve and he'll show flashes of the elite goalie he used to be. But his underlying stats are below average for a few seasons now. Even at 50% retained, along with his current overall performance, would be horrible for a team who's window has just opened

there is no way MTL would retain that much for that long.

MTL will wait for another buyout window with no penalty.

Habs would be better off keeping him than retaining that much. The deal should be a pick and prospect and habs retain 1.5 mil max IMO. But Price could easily regain his confidence and play like he is supposed to. Which he has shown over the last couple games. Fyi Colorado would be dumb as **** to go into the playoffs with their current goalies

Price isn't being traded. stop.

I mean your team is trash soooo

To answer the question; Price would obviously look better in a year or two behind that elite defense in the making (Makar, Byram, Girard and more to come).

On the Montreal point of view why would I trade away Price, keep 3.5M$ and then sign another good goaltender at 6M$? I'll end up paying the same price for Pricer or for a retained salary + a clear cut number 1 (Primeau maybe but even there after his ELC he'll get paid if bonafide number 1).
I don't know the point of view of Colorado on that because I don't follow them.

Carey Price point of view, most likely he'll lift his clause for a cup contender (Which I'm pretty sure nobody will be able to fit his contract under the cap) or to go with Vancouver and even maybe Seattle. He played his junior years in Kennewick... Seattle his obviously going to have cap space from the get go if they don't get too many huge contract in their expansion draft and may be looking for a face for their franchise like Fleury has been from the get go.
Are those trades making sense for anyone? Can't say but the status quo is more than likely.

Regardless of your terrible opinion, Montreal isn't trading Price.
