Eklund: Source: Nugent Hopkins could be in Carey Price Trade (e4) The deal is….

sounds like a load of franking bullpoop Ek

Price at 1/4 salary?!?! 2.5M ?!?!?! I know he’s injured and has a lot of heats left on his deal but I would think it would cost a lot more than RNH and a 1st and 2nd for Price at only 2.5M per

No NHL team is going to take on 10m+ of NHL cap hit, even if it is spread out over 4 years, for a 2nd & a 4th.

Wow. There is a lot to unpack here. I’m not going to bother however, as this is a steaming pile of 💩.

Fair deal get it done bergy gm of the year

I think your best course of action here is to delete this blog immediately.

Jesus. You’ve posted so much dumb poop over the years. This might be one of your finest. You should delete that contact from your phone. LeBrun said just over a week ago that Price getting traded is extremely unlikely this season and if anything were to happen it wouldn’t be until the summer.

If Edmonton is only paying 1/4 for Price, that means Phoenix is the third team in the deal and they’re eating the other 3/4?

No he’s saying Montreal eats 50% sending Price to a third team. Then that third team eats 50% again sending Price to Edmonton.

Turd, Turd is the word aka big pile of dog poop.

The Oiler goalies have played well this year. Edmonton’s biggest issue is secondary scoring. They have not gotten a goal from the 3rd and 4th lines for nine games. The curse of having two all world guys is limited ice time for everyone else and PP for no one else with McD and Drai playing the full two minutes. Everyone has to get the harder 5x5 points. Is Price getting back to his last playoff form any more certain than Eichel getting back to his past performance this year?

So by trading Price, Montreal pretty much signals they're going for a full-on rebuild.

But for trading away their franchise player AND retaining $ they would take only a 2nd line player on the wrong side of his 20s and a lottery protected first?

Yup, sounds about right.

lol what

If I'm Yotes I leverage the hell out of this deal to get 2 x 1st's and a 2nd. however Mtl and Oil want to break it up.

Ek, kinda sounds like something Garf would post. Kudos for typing much better than Garf.

My magic 8 balls says your sources need to lay off the synthetics.

Why would someone in the NHL Toronto office be privy to this type of information?

Ummm🤔 ....never mind.🙄

terrible trade.

EK is the source Kevin Weekes as this sounds like his type of scoop?

Nugent-Hopkins has a NMC clause on his new contract, on a contract where he took a significant home town discount.

So is Nugent-Hopkins going to waive his NMC to go to a complete rebuild? When he took a discount to play in Edmonton. And pay much higher Quebec taxes?

It would be stupid for the oilers to give up depth scoring like Hopkins,and a perfect 2\3 line defensively responsible Centerman for ( and no disrespect to price ) an ageing frequently injured and some head problems goalie. But this is Edmonton! and you know ek is always right. So done deal!
