If at the end of that many moves, Drouin remains as our First Line left winger then theres no point. I also dont see the ducks taking Price on with that package. I think they are going to be interested in futures if they were to pull the trigger.

The idea of getting assets for taking on bad contracts is to get something that you can't typically get anywhere else (ie. Picks/prospects). Don't get me wrong, Tof is a good player, but they could quite easily sign someone similar for the same cost, without taking on a goaltender who has been below league average in 3 out of the past 4 seasons, who's cap hit takes up 12.9% of your teams space for the next 5 years. Seattle is going to have their pick of the litter when it comes to getting assets for taking on bad contracts, and this shouldn't even move the needle.

Price has a full NMC they cannot move him unless he agrees, he's 33 he wont agree to go to a new franchise. He wants to win. giving Toffoli is just ridiculous, hes been amazing for MTL and is super cheap.
