Sorry but to shed a salary like Gomez then you have to give. Other than a*inconsistent* price, the habs dont really have a lot to give up for Gomez to go
- Ridin' in T-Dot

Gomez can sit and rot. price goes nowhere.

One bad year is inconsistent?

ok guys lets play a game cuz im bored at work....

you pick two teams that didnt make the playoffs last year and we decide if you combine the two teams that they would make the playoffs this year.

first up..
edmonton and PHX
- boltsfan48

Phoenix made the playoffs...

Good start though

What do i get if i win?

Phoenix made the playoffs...

- ehabs9

I don't know. I guess if I'm Edmonton, I wait to see if Price reverts back to the way he's been the rest of his career, before I make that trade.
- prock

Oh ya for sure, i mean there is no way you can give up a sure thing like Dubnyk who has proven he can help guide a team into 30th place.

nj and carolina..........ez

but they could end up with a mentally fragile goalie, who can't string together two good seasons, and a cap hit liability along with him.

I don't know.... maybe worth the risk.
- prock

The only risk IMO is giving up Dubynk. He could be a great goalie. Gomez contract will be over by the time the Oilers are ready to contend, and will then sign for less money. Id take the risk

ok sorry lets try this again

With the exception of Toronto and Carolina, you can combine all the other Eastern Conference teams that didnt make it last year, and that team wouldnt make it.

I'll agree that Price needs another good season before he can be considered a top goalie, but back to the way he's been the rest of career? He's had 1 season out of 4 that warrants concern statistics wise.
- ehabs9

And 1 season out of 4 that can be considered good. Big risk on Edmonton's part in that trade.

Really?....Your concern is Price might not be good enough, but you're worried about giving up Dubnyk?

so your saying the devils wont make the playoffs? we got larsson

And 1 season out of 4 that can be considered good. Big risk on Edmonton's part in that trade.
- prock

So a rookie season at age 21 with:

41GP

24 wins, .920%, and a 2.56GAA

can't be considered good?

Real risky considering Dubnyk is 0 for 2 on season's capable of being considered good...

darcy hordichuck for gomez and mtl would still have to pay edmonton 10 mill because gomez sucks so much

Really?....Your concern is Price might not be good enough, but you're worried about giving up Dubnyk?
- ehabs9

i really hope he was kidding, and i dont even see dubnyk as a good starter and wont be

Oh ya for sure, i mean there is no way you can give up a sure thing like Dubnyk who has proven he can help guide a team into 30th place.

WELL AT LEAST HE'S CONSISTENT!

I get confused with leaf fans.
On the one hand they say the only reason the habs have any success and are ahead of the leafs is "because of Price"
And when someone mentions him in a trade he is likely the next Raycroft.
So which is it?

and who else on defense?
