No I think the Penguins have a good core for after the Crosby & Malkin era. They have Guentzel & Rust who are elite. Dumoulin is a top pairing defender, Marino has top pair potential. Not to mention they have McCann, Poulin, Legare, Joseph & Addison who are all special talents. They won’t trade any of those guys for Gallagher or Marner, but don’t be surprised if Jim Rutherford pulls off a steal for a top six winger.

i never said the core isn't good. im talking about the prospect pool. and yeah im sure the pens would like a top 6 winger, but it wont be gallaghar or marner

What about Connor Brown of the Sens? Do you think he costs as much?

he will cost you crosby, malkin (retained) desmith 4 1st rd picks, and the entire pitts maangement staff

So he’s better than Gallagher I see.

easily. he's the greatest player in the league. better than Wayne, Orr etc etc

To be completely fair, Price's trade value is one of the hardest to judge due to inconsistency and contract size. Whereas for Gallagher, the problem is that he's worth much more to the Habs in intangibles than he's worth to any other team, causing us to overvalue him. Even if he doesn't have the "C" on him, he's the true captain of the team, and makes a huge difference in the team's morale when he's in the lineup. For us, he's not just worth his 62pt pace--it's more than just points.

So there's no point including him in a trade

Yeah that's why I think a Price trade is impossible because obviously he's not playing up to his contract but for sentimental reasons and the fact that his contract is so large means that he'll probably retire as a canadien. He seems to be one of those guys who every other year have a bad year. I want the Penguins to make a run at Danault since he's a free agent in 2 years and you guys have so many centers coming up like Kotkaniemi, Suzuki, Poehling, Domi, etc. It would probably take a lot to get Danault but I think he's one of the best two way centers in the league

they don't know whats up with him. I wouldn't touch it.

I agree now, I had no clue about this?? But it is a def No for me with this going on

Although Danault is very important to the team right now, I don't think he's untouchable. You would need MTL to admit they're not going to win in the next 2 years for such a trade to happen though.
