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 Power always has it's Price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canuck #12 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 If the Canadiens could afford this contract, wouldn't the Kraken have even more space for it? He seems like a foundation piece they could build around -- well worth the cap hit for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luongo did think of his team, and his retirement helped out Florida quite a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buyout proof structure of the contract and Price’s NMC that limits their options if they acquire him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyLow_ Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Me reading this, then slowly realizing we are going to have to deal with Carey Price in the playoffs for the next decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I have no idea if they will take Price… high risk, high reward. They could have big names to sell tickets… but they could handcuff their team with years of an underperforming aging goalie. I would lean towards taking him and several other goalies and the selling some of them back to other teams to get extra assets. If Montreal loses Price, then Holtby could look good to them as a pairing with Allen. I can’t wait to go through all the protection lists and mocking up possible rosters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holtby has been brutal the last few seasons. If they lose Price they take one of Vegas’s goalies off their hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Ovechkin did say last week that if he was to play anywhere other than Washington it would be in Montreal. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or gut your future for a small window? Habs don’t go anywhere without Price. If their plan is to sign Ovechkin that’s a pretty big gamble. I had them missing the playoffs before Weber and possibly Price gone. Now they’re a bottom 5 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
