I'd prefer missing the playoffs than the league having to change its rules two years in a row to make sure my team got in.

No you wouldn’t 🤣🤣

Seattle is taking Driedger. They don’t want Price.
- TurdFergeson

why not both!?

It would be the smart move - Driedger + Price together would be like $13.5-14m against the cap. Yeah that's a lot but they would have top 3 goaltending in the league without question

I would imagine Seattle takes at least 4 goalies. Edmonton needs a goalie, Toronto may be looking, Boston. I'm sure Francis has had a few talks with other GM's, guys lining up with their wish lists. Most have been through it with Vegas, there was lots learned with that one. Going to be an interesting time in an otherwise boring part of the year.
I think Seattle takes Price and markets the team around him. I also think they'll take Gio from the Flames and make him their first captain.

Another person who is clueless---- its a 7th to NEGOTIATE--- thats it thats all----he is not a Ranger---he is a free agent--- wow---

Kooleus? Make fun of Ek? Noooooooo…couldn’t be.

Then he is another idiot who makes fun of EK--- if he is such an idiot why are you around his site---- he is a marketing genius--- furthest thing from an idiot---

Price looked fine to me, washed up? LOL!!!

Sorry. Just repeating what Ek said. I expected Tampa to get a 5th or 6th for his rights so getting a 7th is pretty insane. Getting nothing for Coleman is also insane. But in 12 days we'll have more clarity. Right now it's a bit like armageddon.

Now Ek is a genius?? Oh lord…you are far worse than clueless!

It's insane that Seattle can take Price, eat half his salary and trade him to say Detroit. Then Detroit could eat even more salary and trade him to a contender. I bet he ends up in Toronto for cheap. That opens the door for MAF to go to Montreal. MAF is from there in case you didn't know. I'm just shocked now. This is insane. What's next? Ovechkin and Landeskog aren't protected either?

He is just waived his contact for expansion. Doesn't mean they can trade him. Price can veto that. Only way they take him if they want him as their goalie

For the millionth time THEY CANT FLIP HIM--- your posting privleges have been suspended due to you being a meathead

They can, if he allows it.

Vegas, Tampa and Montreal all had between 12-15 mil invested in goalies this season.

I doubt it. They don’t want the oft injured over priced goalie that has had a good 30 game run in the past 5 years. And they dont want his bat shyt crazy wife.
- TurdFergeson

This is a ridiculous comment. He's one of the best goalies to have ever played...EVER, and he almost single handedly won his team a cup...like 2weeks ago.

I've met them both and their family is wonderful. Please tell us about the times you've spent with their family.

This is such an angry, jealous, hateful comment.
What a hater you are, total loser.

Stan Bowman ! Don't get any stupid ideas

No you wouldn’t 🤣🤣
- Isles

You're kidding, right? You know they didn't qualify legitimately right? Yes, I would prefer missing the playoffs.

I wouldn’t pass on Price. A lot of money but to me it would be worth it. Build around him.

Seattle can't trade price.

Do your homework. You know... it's your actual job?

NO...NO...NO....Price has ONLY waived his NMC for the expansion draft. Once/if the Kraken are dumb enough to select him they CAN NOT flip him without his permission.....womp...womp....and they are stuck with a $10.5 m cap hit plus an $11M bonus due Price on Sept 1....good move by the Habs to protect their back up goalie!

Seatlle is going to take him... and then trade him back to Montreal and retain salary for a bundle of draft picks.

Seattle retains 2-3 million... likely gets a 1st and 2nd - perhaps a surplus young player.

not insane at all

this is in fact exactly what the Leafs should have done with Marner or Tavares.

NO...NO...NO....Price has ONLY waived his NMC for the expansion draft.

Best news ever . Obviously Ek didn't read that price can't be picked by Seatle and traded
Bye bye Garbo Price then go for Fleury a real goalie
