No need to pity Price His past play doesn’t mean much to me at all;) there’s always room for improvements he not that old and in his prime. He definitely has the potential to step up his game. And play like a Vezina goal tender he is! Come on it’s Carey Price we’re talking bout here;) zero Pity here lolol if he’s around family and actually enjoying where he is playing. he will tear it the frick up! stand on his fricking head! play like he usually does:) Seattle will definitely be looking at acquiring Carey at expansion draft I’m sure... Montreal would expose price to open up cap space;) habs have Cayden Primeau he’s deadly tender;) they can use money for much more needed offence as well there defence situation... idk lol Edited January 12, 2020 by KnuckleHead16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to me, it's a downgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Heard some eastern hack was pairing the Habs & Canes for possibilities on Price. I think it's an interesting notion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Neither Price or Weber have any value without Montreal retaining a big chunk of their cap hit. Honestly though, Price needs a full 50% retained to have any value at all. Too long a term and too many dollars. Doesn’t fit for us already having some young goalies in the system. I would take Weber at 25-50% retained and give them a half decent return though. He looks to be a useful player for a while and if you aren’t paying a big ticket it isn’t too hard to eat for the final couple of years if he doesn’t retire when his salary drops to nothing. We can do a Florida and hire him as a consultant which would badly screw Nashville. He could look really good on a pairing with Hughes as well as a currently missing big shot from the point on a PP unit Hughes-Weber Edler-Myers Juolevi/Benn-Tryamkin/Stecher Edited January 13, 2020 by Provost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I disagree on Weber. He’s still a top D in the league. Plays in all situations. Can QB a power play, is tough as nails and brings leadership. At $8m he’s really not overpaid when you compare him to other top players. Yes he’s 34 and his contract runs another 6 years past this season. BUT the salary drops to $1m in 23/24. He’s likely to retire at that point. The only team that really gets hurt by his contract is Nashville. I’d argue he’s worth a haul to the right team even with no retention. There is literally no way Montreal retains 50% on his contract. Weber at $4m to the team getting him. Montreal wasting $4m in cap space for 6 years? Montreal would need a huge return to do that.

But I bet he love to come home play in BC he’d look so good in a Canucks uni! I’m thinking Boeser Markstrom for starters... they’ll prolly want more! What’s your guys options on the matter? Carey wants out obviously! I think he’ll be a complete brick wall here in Vancouver! Just my opinion on the matter:) Gross. If there was a downvote you would get it.

That would be 7 years of dead cap space. Then they still need to pay a starting goalie. so let’s say they retained 40%. That’s $4.2 a year for 7 years. Then say they pay a decent starter $5.5m. That means they’re still paying $9.7m a year on a starting goalie. I assume they’d rather just keep Price 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Montreal are not trading Price or Weber. From LeBrun in the Athletic (paywall): As I reported on TSN’s “Insider Trading,” Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin said firmly to me on Tuesday that he has zero intention of even entertaining the idea of trading either player, saying he would not even listen if teams called. The duo are important parts of the team moving forward as the youth movement continues to integrate itself and having veteran leadership from Weber and Price around those young players is extremely important.

Different wording than on Subban. As far as I remember he was never that categorical. He simply said they are not shopping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
