This story continues to evolve and percolate. I'm told as #SeaKraken continue to investigate Price's injuries, ownership has given hockey ops the full green light to select Price if Francis sees fit - health concerns and all. There is zero doubt they're considering it.

It’s hysterical they are considering him regardless of health.

Wouldn’t it be the same? Brassard is like Strome a late 20s center at his peak. And brown is like Zib a young 20s center trying to break out?

Strome and Brassard are sorta comparable but Brown and Zibanejad are not.

It's because they know the health "issue" is horse poop.

Well they were both 1st round centers in their early 20s lol. Just let me have this one, it works to well lol

Like I said, I'm not against it but I don't see it happening.

Why would they want an essentially average goalie that’s old and has a 10.5m cap hit?

Gonna be tough to market him when he’s letting in goals in bunches. Drouin is the better risk to take imo.

Reasons.

You make a good point.

I agree that it's a dumb idea. Drouin would be a decent gamble like you mention.

Price is just so much money and his buyout money is atrocious. It looks like as high as 9-10 mil for 4 seasons if they bought him out next off season.

Logan Brown for Strome is OK.

Drake Batherson for Strome is better.

Josh Norris for Strome is best.

The Hossa model you mean?

So, dumb idea time.

Georgiev gets traded. You bring Hank in to be the backup (if healthy) and let him finish his career in NY?

When did Hossa go on LTIR and return for the playoffs?

I think he means cap circumvention in a more general sense.

That occurred to me the other day.

This way he never gets to put on a sweater for another team during an actual game.

League minimum, he already got his money.

Oh the CPHLRI method.

Otherwise known as the Clarkson Pronger Hossa Lupul Robidas Island method.

That occurred to me the other day.

That it was a dumb idea?

Hearing #NYR have made significant progress with newly acquired forward Barclay Goodrow.

Not finalized. Expectation is Goodrow will be a Blueshirt once the signing moratorium is lifted with a 6-year deal in $3.6m AAV range.

I like it but that seems kinda spendy. They should try to grab one of his line mates too.
