With any luck they'll take Carey and do you a favour.

Still not seeing the risk, Price Is 33 and making an obscene amount of money, He Isn't going to get better or younger. No risk here at all.

well Karine, sorry but seems like I was right all along on that one.
no GM would gamble losing his star player to keep his back up. that simply doesn't make any sense.
it had to come from Carey who wants out, and his GM had no choice but to let him unprotected. there's no other explanations.
I for one will certainly not blame MB if Carey ends up with SEA.

So pretty much one of the more tame games of chicken ever? People die, lose their life savings, poop their pants all the time playing chicken

Riskiest EVER?? A bit of hyperbole on your part I think.

Driedger and Price would be a hell of a tandem for their inaugural year but Price will end up a very expensive backup if he loses the net..

My safe bet is they take Kulak, lol.

I don’t see a risk here at all.

It’s more of a win/win imo..

As I said yesterday, and will continue to say until the picks are done, if Price goes, I am OK with that.

MB likely sees Weber as done, so if he wants to put a reset in place with lots of cap room (which most other teams will not have), then letting Price go might be the best option.

I suspect the decision about Price is already known / done and that MB is aware of what will happen and what his options are going to look like.

Lebrun said Seattle would be reaching out to Bergevin to see if they could get something out of him to NOT take Price. I guess if they call him and he offers nothing then he prolly wants Seattle to take him.

Ek said this is INSANE.

Now it's the riskiest EVER.

Maybe you want to tone it down. If Montreal missed the playoffs or lost to Toronto in round 1, the article would be about how Price is about to turn 34. His SV% was an awful .901, ranked 42 among elligible goalies (even Jake Allen was better). His contract is one of the worst in the NHL and it would be a blessing if Seattle takes him. But because he gets hot for a playoff run suddenly he's irreplaceable. Try making decisions on facts rather than emotion.

Again, I am pretty certain the principal people involved - Francis, MB and Price - already know how this is going down, regardless of what the media might say or speculate.
