Maybe the habs should mention to Gustavsson that we have one of the top goalie coaches in the NHL that could really help him bring his game to the next level.

and make sure we tell him, best fans in the league
The only reason I could see Price traded would be if he would asked and insisted for it. Could happen because of the treatment he received. I doubt however that the organisation would accept a 21 years 5th pick asking to be traded yet....you cannot force him to goal well.
But this is pure speculation anyway. I can guarantee that whenever a significant player will be available, there will be someone starting the rumor " X to Habs (e2)" or similar stuff.
Let's try to make a list of potential available players this summer that were not linked yet to the Habs - then just wait for the rumors to happen

Wow, i would do a Price/Carter deal. I mean even Luongo with a great team in front of him can't make it past the second round. What's Price going to do with a slapped together team for the next 2-3 years? I think it's time to gamble a bit. Besides, Halak is a good goalie, period. And this Gustafsson guy, though unproven could be really good. This is probably never going to happen, but when you think about it, it's a match made in heaven. Philly has always been, it seems, a goalie shy of going deeper in the playoffs, and Montreal has been looking for a top center for an eternity.
You can never have enough solid prospects, especially in nets. Bring this kid over if he wants to come. That way either way, we have minimum 2 capable goalies, and 1 as trade bait!

As good as he could become - if he really wants it - Price is burnt in Montreal. His off-ice behaviours and his reaction in the last game just pushed him out of Montreal. Let's try to get the most for him now !
Edmonton, Philadelphia, even Vancouver could be good destinations for him.
Okay, that's a rumor at his best to say the least. Somebody e-mailed Jean-Charles Lajoie to tell him that Mikael Johansson not only played with Jonas Gustavsson but his one of his best friends. Seems that he's working hard so Gustavsson signs here 'cause it seems that the Habs are interested in him. I don't know if that piece of news was already out, but it seems that Mr. Gustavsson is already asking for a minimum of 40 games in the NHL for the team that want him. Which then makes the guy that e-mailed Lajoie to say that it would mean a trade involving Price and probably to the Flyers.
Lajoie said that this listener already told him 2 things that eventually ended up happening later.
Take it REALLY for what it's worth.
Personnally, there is no way that I see Gainey accepting to give a guy that kind of guarantee of 40-games without knowing how he'll do. And I also don't see that IF you trade a guy like Price, that even though the return could be Gagné, Carter or Richards, that you'll take the chance to trade him to an Eastern Conference team. So I don't believe it. The only way Gustavsson will have his 40-game guarantee is with the Avs.
The link between Johansson and Gustavsson is probably overrated here, but if I could surely see the Habs being interested. He'd make the perfect back-up for Price, and he'll be able to play a bunch of games as well. Halak could then be traded for assets.
The 40 game comment is just ridiculous. Gustavsson's GM mentions:
Les Maple Leafs de Toronto et l'Avalanche du Colorado sont les favoris pour obtenir ses services. «Il veut se joindre à une équipe qui en fera l'un de ses deux gardiens dans la Ligue nationale, mentionne Rundqvist. Il n'ira certainement pas chez les Rangers, par exemple. Il ne veut pas faire ses classes dans la Ligue américaine. Il est prêt pour la LNH. Je crois qu'il a réduit le nombre d'équipes potentielles à quatre. J'essaie de savoir quels sont les deux autres clubs, mais il ne veut en parler à personne.»
