Lemieux is catching Kopitar in goals, they're not going to trade him for a guy who is a healthy scratch for most games.

Whats the upside for the bruins here? Get the older, worse palyer with less upside.

Didn't realize how decent of a season Lemieux is having.

Oilers reject that Montreal trade.

Price "should" be made available at ~$8M for a couple decent pieces. Bourgault and a 2nd, for example. With the usual disclaimer that he is healthy and is even available to Edmonton. A contract coming back is included as well.
Full retention has to involve something else, whether it be for Montreal to retain more, or something sent to a 3rd team for further retention.

I understand a Price trade to Edmonton is difficult and costly, but he simply can't be moved for scraps, especially if Montreal is taking a full half his cap hit.
I still think they should do it.

Not commenting on the value, but Oilers say yes to all of those expect the Montreal deal
