It's not a matter of overpayment or underpayment necessarily, but you'd have to think that even if Montreal were to hypothetically make such a wacky trade 2 years in a row (PK Subban deal was wacky deal #1), they would still be in a win-now mode just based on where the franchise is. The trade you are proposing would better suit a franchise that is in a rebuild. Not that he would even be available, but say Pittsburgh chose to keep Fleury, this deal you propose for Price could surely get you Matt Murray and he will cost a fraction of what Price will command in an extension. If Winnipeg wanted a goalie of the future, you'd take a legit run at one of the Flyers goalie prospects, Lyons or Hart.
