    A - Explanation

    This is just my opinion. I wanted to recreate this idea from the Athletic from a Canadiens perspective: https://theathletic.com/2965506/2021/11/23/canucks-trade-value-tiers-2021-ranking-every-player-by-market-value/

    I'm willing to debate/discuss as long as the comments are constructive.
    2.
    MTL
      1. The untouchables tier
      3.
      MTL
        2. The short, polite conversation that ends with “Yeah, we’re not trading him” tier
        4.
        MTL
          3. The “nice to have” tier
          SEA
          1. Allen, Jake
          2. Dvorak, Christian
          3. Edmundson, Joel
          4. Gallagher, Brendan
          5. Petry, Jeff
          Additional Details:
          Before jumping on the "Gallagher & Petry are negative value!" train, they're not. They were both performing at high levels just last season and Jeff Petry had Norris votes. He's a good #2 who has to handle the immense workload of a high-end #1... at 33-years-old. Down the road if they underperform through next season, they could find themselves in the "Could probably wriggle out of that contract tier", but not as it stands.

                    Interesting.

                    Just curious, but from tiers 4 to 10, who do you think would bring Habs the biggest haul (of futures most likely)?

                    I agree with this list, some might say Caufield or Price should be bumped up but they shouldn't

                    I would say Toffoli because of term and name value
                    Then Chiarot because NHL GMs

                    Like most comments here, totally agree with the list breakdown. I think Suzuki is the clear untouchable of the group. The only one I question (because I'm a fan of him) is Price! I get it with the $10.5M cap hit and most recent surgery.....but

                    But the fact that he checked himself into the Players' Assistance program only means that is mental health (and physical) will only benefit him for the last four years of his contract. Say what you will, but he did take a mediocre team to the finals last season. That's right last season, not 5, not 8 or 10 yrs ago. The problem for MTL with a Carey Price trade is simply the expected return they may get for him. Habs would most def have to retain at least $2.5M to make any deal work. Also, they would need to forget about getting a first round pick (or multiple) in return. And they would certainly have to take cap back. But for me, that doesn't make his value negative, it just limits the number of teams that would actually be interested.

                    Let's keep in mind the most recent goalies to play past 37-38 yrs old. There was Lundqvist in NYR, Luongo in FLA and currently Smith in EDM and Anderson in BUF. Carey Price when healthy is better than any of these goalies - in the past, during their prime and when Price gets to their age! The only one that had really good numbers was Luongo and Price has always had better mobility and quickness than Luongo ever did. If he stays healthy, Price will still be a top 8-10 goalie in the NHL in the last year of his contract.

                    And for those that will say "but Carey's never one a Cup", the last time I checked only two goalies can win the cup every season - the #1 and his backup. Change Vasilevskiy for Price and Tampa still wins back to back Cups imo!
