Toe Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Why idea of Canadiens trading Carey Price is unfounded, ridiculous I've been seeing and hearing this stuff come up, and my main question is - what team wants Carey Price? When he's good, he's one of the best. But his contract is terrible, he's not always at his best, and their are a number of goaltenders on expiring deals that you could get right now if you thought you needed an upgrade. I'd rather take a chance on Robin Lehner, Jaro Halak, or even Corey Crawford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruki Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Price is never getting traded. 1. He IS the Habs. 2. Injury history. 3. That cap hit. Ooof. Spending 10 million on a goalie who can be as hot/cold as Price is a horrifying (almost as horrifying as the Bobrovski contract). For better or worse, he's retiring a Hab.

gunnar hendershow Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Price will absolutely ride out the back half or third of that contract behind a younger, better goaltender. But they can't ever trade him, even ignoring the possible fan reaction. It was a nuts contract when they signed him to it, but maybe they can get things right with this retool and actually have a competitive team around him in 2 or 3 years.

gunnar hendershow Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 They can't get out of the funk. They're crucially missing out on something with the defense and don't have the flexibility to improve. A really talented team that is poorly constructed.

Toe Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 From Chris Johnston's article on Sportsnet... Quote The Stanley Cup has only seen two seasons where it wasn’t awarded: In 2004-05, because of a year-long lockout, and 1918-19, because of the Spanish flu.

SeanDMan Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 So according to Chris Pronger himself, in 2006 when he went to Anaheim, Toronto offered Tomas Kaberle, Matt Stajan, and two 2nds for Pronger. Edmonton countered by replacing one of the 2nds with Alex Steen and Toronto dropped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On July 3, 2006, the Oilers traded Chris Pronger to the Ducks for two players and three picks: Joffrey Lupul Ladislav Smid 2007 1st-Rounder 2008 1st-Rounder 2008 2nd-Rounder The Ducks won the cup the very next year so those are late, late firsts. Lupul vs Stajan Lupul 701 gp 205 g 215 a 420 pts Stajan 1003 gp 146 g 267 a 413 pts Smid vs Kaberle Smid 583 gp 12 g 60 a 72 pts Kaberle 984 gp 87 g 476 a 563 pts Stajan is slightly less offensively gifted than Lupul but Lupul is purely a one way player whereas Stajan was a both ways center. As for Smid vs Kaberle, Smid was much younger, but, yeah, well. So it really depends how well the Leafs picks would have been. Oh, also, Alex Steen: Steen 1018 gp 245 g 377 a 622 pts And Steen would likely be playing this year, which can't be said of any of the other players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
