Easy to do a Montreal roster when you send so much cap to Colorado. Try making a Avs roster and see if any possibe way it works. PS do a 2020/21 edition.

dear lord, these Montreal rosters are the most delusional fantasy when it comes to trading Price to the Avs.
Stop it already. Avs are not trading one of the top drafted prospects in the entire NHL for a 31 year old Goalie who has the worst contract in the league

Patrick Roy actually won 4 Stanley Cups, What's Carey Prices excuse. And no way is Byram going to Montreal in any Price deal.

I wouldnt trade Francouz straight up for Price right now, why does price who is 31 with mediocre to subpar numbers over the past few seasons at an ugly cap hit gain so much back in trades on this site when No goalie trade in the the last decade has ever gained any significant assets back. Never mind one that has the worst contract in hockey

I wouldn't either Price is trending down, He's not worth that contract. Hab fans need to give up the notion that they'll win with Price. It's just not happening.

If the Avs wanted to upgrade their goaltending....just overpay Lehner at 8m and then the Avs keep all those assets. No saying the Avs should want another goalie, but my suggestion makes a lot more sense to the Avs then trading away assets for Price.

hes been trending down for a few years. There is a better likelihood that they give up assets to get ride of him in the expansion draft vs them trading him for a kings ransom.
Hes far removed from his elite status

YET, he is voted by the players as one of the best goalies in the game. Numbers don't tell all the story. Some nights he is totally alone on the ice, and he plays almost every game because he doesn't have a good back up...

The question becomes... are the backups bad... or is it the team in front of them? Price only makes them look worse, where any good goalie would probably have a very rough night too. Put Francouz on the habs... and he probably wouldn't do better than Kinkaid, Niemi, Lindgren...

Dont sleep on Francouz either, he is battling Grubauer hard for the net. It could very much be a 1A-1B platoon with the 2 of them next year. Avs have decent goaltending right now but you are right, if they really wanted to get nuts, they could lock up Lehner and trade Grubauer. A much simpler and less expensive move.

Price isnt winning anyone any cups, never mind a 3 peat like this poster is claiming

Players voting means squat. Players vote for players they like or respect. It doesnt mean they are actually the top of that position anymore. Players voted Bobrovsky as the 4th best goalie in the 2019-20 poll. that should tell you exactly how much weight those polls actually carry

The only way Price ever resembles Roy is when he leaves Montreal and wins the cup with a team in their first year of existence..... on that note, CONGLATURATIONS SEATTLE!!!

Agree with you. Always good to have a couple of "hungry" young, cost efficient goalies and they can be just be successful as "name" costly goalies. Gee, who is the last Stanley Cup winning goalie? He's in St. Louis.

You honestly think that player voting means diddly squat. So players voted for Price whop tido means nothing still tons of goalies in the NHL i'd rather have over Price Vasilevskiey being one of them.

Right now, the analytics preference for evaluating goalies is Goals Saved Above Expected (GSAx), since it accounts for shot quality and the defense playing in front of the goalie. Here's where Price ranks over the last 3 seasons among the 60 qualified goalies.

players voted Burns as one of the top Dman in the league. Bobrovsky was 4th best goalie voted by players. Players are not smart

and look where Grubauer is....cant believe Avs fans dont want to trade him and Byram for price

Exactly it's a joke if he actually wants us to believe that player voting actually means anything.

Grubauer has been in the negative the past 2 years. Pretty much all of his positive value is from his 17-18 season in Washington.

Over the past 2 seasons Price and Grubauer have been roughly equal.

just saying hes better than price over the last few years. Doesnt cost you Byram to downgrade to Price

Price is on one of the worst contracts in the league....he's a legit cap dump.

wouldnt shock me that Montreal pays Seattle something for them to select Price in the draft. He would probably waive his NMC to play close to back home In BC, despite his play on the ice, his name still has star power attraction, can see why Seattle would be tempted

Seattle seems pretty steeped in analytics, it'd cost a lot to have them take Price (multiple 1sts ++). I'd assume they'd go for someone like Lehkonen.

Why would colorado Give up talent and Cap Space for Price. Roy was had for basically nothing to start, but Colorado has been doing just fine not spending an 8th of the cap on 1 goalie

Vasilevskiey's advanced numbers aren't really that great and he has another big cap hit, but I'd take him over Price right now, yes

I'll stick with grubs
