Link?

Nvm, Im pretty sure you're referencing Eliotte Freidman. He doesn't say Price will be moved. Just that his NTC/NMC will change in his new contract going from a 15 team trade list to a full NMC in the extension making moving him virtually impossible at that point.

Assuming Arizona's first rounder is the first overall pick (only way Habs would even entertain this), I'm not sure the Coyotes would want to make this move. Sure they could use the goaltending help and by all accounts they want to start winning now, but their core is still young so wouldn't it make more sense for them to add a generational young defenseman to that mix? Then they can trade OEL for goaltending help and get someone younger/cheaper than Price. I just don't see it happening, and in fact even if the Habs did want to trade Price, I honestly don't see a fit anywhere in the league where they would get fair value back that would fit their needs (elite number 1 defenseman or center), no other team in a position to make that deal would do it...
