On the plus side, maybe that puts Montreal in the market for him. More likely it puts Montreal in the market for one of Fleury / Lehner if Price gets taken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Much as I’d like to see Seattle claim Price, I sort of hope they don’t, because it probably lowers the chance of them also taking Holtby. Unless they think they can flip Holtby for picks, which is definitely possible. But that’s a lot of money to tie up in goaltending, even if they’re betting they can make some moves. It’ll be interesting to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMC goes with him if he gets picked Sounds like Montreal planned to do this all along. That signing bonus is a tip off. That's a big "I dare you".

Much of Prices struggles in recent years can be tied directly to the fact that they did t have a worthy backup tender. They had to ride him to the point of exhaustion and injury. Having a backup of Allen’s ilk at this point is really important to keeping Price fresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I really doubt Seattle touches that contract. But who knows, he's a goalie, he's real good. I just don't see it. Not with five years remaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting Price would give them a huge player to market right off the bat. And I bet he can perform for most of the contract. Montreal might get away with it but they also may have just made a very costly error. Agree 100%. Vegas got off to a great start by picking a HOF goalie. Seattle now has the chance to do the same. If I'm Seattle, I pick Price to make statement to the fans that we are going to compete for the playoffs and the cup right off the bat, i.e., do what Vegas did. IMO, this is a big mistake on Montreal's part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they take him it’s because they believe he’ll be worth it for the full 5 years. His contract is buyout proof and not the front loaded kind of contract he’ll just walk away from. Having his NMC intact means Price still has all the power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassbs Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Wow, I’m impressed with price. Team first. Wish luongo thought of that before retiring. or perhaps he knows Seattle won’t touch him and his $10mill contract. It’s a risk, but still. Nice touch on his character !
