Just a couple of tips that I discovered when commenting here.

Kurvers schedule and Minnesota’s roster is out.
In 2021, Montreal lost the Stanley Cup final in 5 games.
4 years later, after a rebuild on the fly, they made it back to the playoffs.
They did that by making many very smart moves and very few mistakes.So, if you are proposing a trade with them, you have to ask: Would a really smart, well run team like Montreal agree to this trade?”
I don’t think Montreal will just take back “stuff” to get rid of the Price contract.
Pay with draft picks? Sure, they have all their own picks (plus a few extra) over the next 3 years.
Trade the Price contract *and* picks plus a young player for a veteran who can help them right now? Also sounds like something they would do.
But, trade the Price contract for some other team’s leftovers, problems, or bad contracts? I don’t think that is likely to happen.Thanks for stopping by Rico. The more the merrier.
Yes Frenchy was worth the long wait for a Hawks blogger.
As Metalhead pointed out earlier, the return for Price alone would be minimal.
I would like to see the trade expanded to get back something of more value. Maybe Reichel could go the other way. I would like to get at least a 2nd rounder back from the Habs in any Price deal.Really nice to see old faces trickle in and as we saw down the dial an all in one thread works well. Like rpete says we’ll be to 11k posts in no time …. Great idea, BM.
As we all know KD and Crew’s own draft picks are arriving in the Bigs and the roster is saying he thinks it’s time to throw quite a few kids into the deep end of the pool (camp will tell us more). One of the best things about KD IMO is he ain’t worried a bit about allowing players to develop at their own pace from jrs on up. He’s not throwing in a KK to see if he can “survive” an NHL season before he’s ready. Kids up when management thinks a kid is ready not where a kid “should” be in his development. The proper older school way..
Frenchy it seems was sent by The Hockey Gods for Hawks fans at just the right time.
Wondering if Kyle enters the chat for Carey Price’s contract. Brossoit for Price + 2026 conditional pick perhaps? Habs are currently $4.8 million over the cap. Swapping Price for Brossoit would get the Habs $3 mil under the cap so they’d still have room to play with down the line. Also nets them a solid goalie if he returns to playing in 25-26. For Hawks, they get something in return for Brossoit and let their problem become the Habs’ problem while absorbing Price’s contract.
