I would not think about trading Price. He is only 24 and is proven to be an elite goaltender in this league. Now, what Goat should do is lock Price up for the rest of his career. I'm thinking 60mil/10 years. A good hockey team starts from the net (goalie).
price is not an elite goalie right now , a little better than average, thats all, coming from a habs fan. people so overrate price !!!!!!!!!!

That just is not true he has proven he can be a good Goalie in the league he is not currently an elite goalie. He may be but Theodore was Elite for a season you could say. Carey was elite for a season at a young age. Mason ect.
I'll guess what it would take. Who needs a goalie? Edmonton does.
From Edmonton.
Eberle, Paarjaavi, 1st round pick (could be one of the russian duo),Dubnyk
Montreal would want it, but Edmonton wouldn't trade Eberle for Price straight up. He's not available, much like Price is. It depends on which team approaches the other, but Edmonton simply wouldn`t trade any of Eberle, Hall or Nuge for Price. I know that means he wouldn`t go to Edmonton, but Eberle, Hall and Nuge are Edmonton's version of Price.
Funny to me to see that its mostly Hab fans that have been lower on the value scale for price.
Without Price imo you are a lottery team the last 2 years. you had a decent but small forward line and terrible to horrible defence..
Put Price on a team like Van or Detriot/nashville.. either good teams that have the puck and there goalie doesnt get shelled or strong Defence first team and he will be a vezna winner. AND he is 24 and has handled the montreal circus with all the halak crap like a veteren.
Tell me about those (Barrie/Elliot). Are they throw-ins ? projects ? blue chip ?
I'd consider both blue chippers, I'd give the slight edge to Elliot solely because I know little of Barrie. But Statsny's contract is scary IMO even with ridding ourselves of Gomez.

Both will be NHL players relatively soon, and in my opinion the gap between Stastny and Gomez makes up for the gap between Varlamov/Price. The second is a throw in to make up for the loss of prospect pool.

Yes they would, I think deep down you know it too. There are alot of 70 point guys, but only 4-5 world class goalies...and Price is one of them.

Eberle is young and almost at a PPG. There really are not that many 70 point players btw.....There are a lot of solid NHL goalies. Right not Price is not a top 4-5 goalie. Price in in the 5-15 range.
IMO Price is the most valuable golie in the league trade wise. There are keepers that have won more or been with teams longer but i truly belive if he was available he would get the largest return back.
He has won HUGE games in previous levels of hockey. He has carried montreal the last 2 seasons. I DO think he is just as good as rinne just doest have suter and weber in front of him. He seems to be a good team guy and a class act (see his fight with TT)
All of this combined with his age make him soooo attractive. Id trade Luongo ++ for him in a heart beat.
I can hear Lundqvist crying from here.
Not only is he the best goalie in the league, but he is still only 29, and signed for a couple more years.
Don't think any goalie could get a package bigger than him.

I've thought deep down....and the answer is no. Most Oiler fans would agree. In any case Eberle is second in points per game for RW while having the lowest minutes per game of any top 30 scorer.
So you can probably figure out the response to Hall + MPS + Dubnyk + 1st.

If there are only 5 world class goalies then Price is definitely not one of them. The obvious ones are Lundqvist, Rinne, Thomas, Miller and Luongo. Then their is the next tier that Price is probably in the middle of: Fleury, Quick, Ward, Kiprussof. So top 10 for sure, but not a chance he's a top 5 goalie in the league. Now, is Jordan Eberle a top 5 RW? Debatable, but the stats would suggest yes. Couple that with him being younger (thus more potential), and a lifelong Oiler fan who wants to be here (thus more inclined to sign a bargain deal) and its actually a no-brainer for the Oil to say no to Ebs straight up, let alone some of the packages suggested in this thread.
Also, I thought there were rumours from RDS earlier in the year that Price is looking for 7mil per? Good luck with that.
