It's tempting, but not quite there.
This trade breaks down as:
- Grubauer = 2 2nds .... if not more. He was acquired for a 2nd + orpik cap dump (effectively a 2nd), and his value has only gone up by being a starter for 2 years.
- Zadorov = 2nd + 3rd
- Picks 2nd + 3rd
So we'd effectively be trading 4 2nd's and 2 3rd's for a goalie paid $5.25m signed for another 6 years and with his best years behind him who's only going get worse.
It's a much better offer than the usual Price-to-Colorado suggestions though. And honestly it's a tiny bit tempting as Price at his best is a really good goalie. I just don't know if the change would be worth the risk for Colorado though as our goalie situation is pretty solid and we also have Annunen in the pipeline who looks really promising.
From Montreal's perspective, retaining $5.25m for 6 years would be a really bad look for them, so I doubt they sanction that.
