Meller93 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Would the devils part with Blackwood/hall for say, Price, one of our top prospects (poehling, romanov or brook?) and a second? Or do they value Blackwood too highly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they value Blackwood too highly They view Blackwood as their goalie of the future and if they move him, then they have a goalie tandem that costs nearly $17 million with Cory Schneider still signed for a while. Schneider would have to be involved in any deal as a result, not Blackwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is to get a guy who will still be a star when your young players are ready - not trade price and your young players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Price is untradeable!!!!!!! Price isnt going nowhere. He has played himself right out of top goalie in the world status... His contract is quite the albatross. He isnt stealing games and if he does they are few and far between. He is not even close to the being the player who won the Hart and earned those millions. THIS is bigger than our need for a #1 LD IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habber31 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Price's 2018-19 November was similar to this year. He bounced back in a huge way the rest of the season, though. Have faith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I think Price still has tremendous value. Although he has been through a rough patch recently, he is still an elite goalie. It's amazing how much better a goalie looks when a team plays with structure in front of them. The Habs have lacked that recently. His contract would make him more difficult to trade but there are a lot of examples of goalies who played at a high level late into their thirties.

IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 There is no team in the NHL that can or will take Price and that contract on. None... zero... zilch. You are absolutely incorrect. He is un-tradeable currently. We would have to give him away or retain huge salary and he would have to OK the deal. And Yes, he turned it around in Mid December LY and finished strong. But, it was to late. If he keeps it up, this year will be lost as well! He was horrible ALL season the year before that. And the season before that he finished the season horribly. So again, I am personally of the opinion hes un-tradeable at this point and will have to really catch fire to be tradeable. At that point we will all ant to keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move weber to Edmonton for one of their top d prospects a pick and a bad contract. Petry has a 15-team no-trade list. And he's 18 months away from UFA. If we were to trade away veterans, I think he would make the most sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The view on the Athletic (Cory Masisak) is that if NJ trades Hall, then (at least) Simmonds and Vatanen will be gone, too. If that's the case, how about trading for Vatanen? He'll be a UFA at the end of the year, but might be a better possibility to stay in Montreal than Hall is (given our existing Finnish contingent), and at 28 he should have at least five decent years left yet. He's a right-hand shot, which isn't ideal, but any top defenceman would help us ... and a solid top RD would give us flexibility should we choose to trade Petry or Weber.

Commandant Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Andersen is a top 10 goalie in the NHL, I don't think the Leafs would give up Nylander and Andersen for Price, and I think that wouldn't solve their problems on Defence. I think the Buffalo deal, the Sabres would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ would love to have Price, Calgary would love to have Price, Vancouver would love to have Price. His play has been bad, but not all on him. Its the team in front of him too. Toronto has a top-notch G. Anderson is probably a better overall goalie than Price at this point. That's an absolutely insane trade for them. Vancouver has a strong veteran goalie and a rookie goalie who is playing well and projects to become elite. Price is the last thing they need. Buffalo: that's more like it! They have young stars galore, need a G, and are desperate to turn the corner. One problem: I very seriously doubt that Price would agree to be traded there. Ever. The NJ scenario is unlikely but, as I noted earlier, fun to consider. One BIG problem with any scenario involving Hall: he wants to win. In fact he told NJ management that he wanted to see them building a winner or he wouldn't sign. This being the case, why on earth would he want to play the rest of his career in Montreal, a team that is now likely to miss the playoffs for the 4th time in 5 years, has no upper-echelon elite young stars and no top-tier prospects, and whose best players are well into their 30s?

Petry, Tatar and a 2nd to NJD Hall, Mueller to MTL NJD gets a solid D and a good scorer and a draft pick to continue their rebuild MTL gets an elite scoring winger and an NHL-calibre LD with some upside This bridges the gap until Drouin is back, and it gives room to our young RD to play more minutes. I think Juulsen (when healthy), Fleury and Brook will fill Petry's spot well in 1-2 years. Ok as of this year. P.S. MTL can add Olofsson, Kulak or Reilly as a throw in if needed.

The Toronto deal is an absolute joke... Anderson has been better then Price for 3 straight seasons and costs less then half as much! and Nylander to? I dont think TOR even considers Price for Anderson straight up let alone with Nylander! The Buffalo deal sounds like a fair deal except for Buffalo being up against the cap and in LTIR I believe. They would be taking on an additional 8 million to bring Price on in replacement of Hutton plus the difference in salary for a replacement defenceman in there top 4 to for Risto. Not to mention Price would have to waive. NJ would love to have Price? Would Price love to go to NJ? Calgary does seem like a good option and Price might consider Alberta in a move... Im gonna stick with Price being un-tradeable in his current form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
