They haven’t won a cup since Roy walked out on them. He stole them 2 cups in 1986 and 1993. They really haven’t been the same since. Without Price they’d be an average team at best.

You have to figure if MTL dumps price they are going full rebuild which would take the sting out of taking a cap dump in order to make the deal work and maximize return of young assets. Also I don't think being a contender should necessarily be part of the criteria as Price has carried that pathetic team almost perennially into the playoffs.

Canuck_In_Paradise Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 They don't deserve him if that is the case. What do they really expect him to do, score the goals?! C'mon, you need to score to win, even if you have one of the best goalies in the game. The forwards are letting him down hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points, but I'd say that Montreal would have to eat part of the contract if he is actually traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkpoet Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 they'll chase him out of town, then he'll leave and go win a cup somewhere else, just like Roy did. that's Montreal though. and they say we're fairweather. pfft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Toronto or Edmonton are in the market for goalies though. They both seem fairly happy with their netminders, who are both much, much cheaper than Price. Just trying to think if anyone else would be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosalie73 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Carey Price will be traded to Colorado and he will win a Stanley Cup with the Avalanche. The cycle of suckiness will go on in Orange Cones City (Montreal). lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Winnipeg would work well if ownership realized that playoff revenue would more than make up for Price's salary. Vegas also has the assets to make a move if they're still contending later on in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's normal. He probably doesn't want to be part of a rebuilding process in Montreal. Who can blame him for wanting to be part of a Stanley Cup contender? Yes, the Habs fans should be careful with the way they treat Carey Price. The Habs already look awful, imagine without Price! If I were gm of Montreal the first thing I would do is start seeing what I could get for price and Weber . They need to rebuild and those are two fine pieces to get started on your youth program It would hurt have fans like hell but that is what needs to be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 This is nothing compared to what Luongo went through in 2012... First of all, Price has never carried Montreal to a Stanley Cup Final. Luongo did. Although, I think you can argue Price has been as "elite" for Montreal as Luongo was during his tenure here for Vancouver... but doesn't change the fact, he's never been able to carry his team to a SCF. He's definitely overrated. In 2012, 80th game of the season the Canucks faced the Ducks and Luongo had a bad game and exited the game after giving up 4 goals (a game we ended up winning anyway). The crowd started to boo and cheer loudly when Cory Schneider came on... this is on the verge of Luongo leading the team to back to back president trophies. Yet these classless scumbag POS's at the game had the audacity to boo... that's probably the most embarrassing moment as a Canucks fan for me. Thinking of it makes me want to vomit. Also Luongo was coming off a 928% year... still posted 919% that 2011/12 season. Price on the other hand is coming off a 923% and has an atrocious 883% this year. Not to say I would boo Carey if a I was a Habs fan... I %100 wouldn't and I would stand by his side. But this is really nothing compared to what Luongo went through here. Vancouver has way more classless pigs in the city and the stands than Montreal does. Price pretty much just got a buyout proof contract and he's gonna be making 10.5 million over the next 8 years... he's clearly just in chill mode now that he's got paid. Can't blame him.
