I'm just curious why you would want a 34 year old goalie who hasn't played in a year and is on contract for another 4 years?

Because he’s elite.

Yeah if we were still in 2015

Damn, so if Price can return that much at 6.0 x 4 years, then Matt Murray at 3.25 x 2 years could return McDavid?



35 y/o before next season...

Price is washed. The 2021 playoffs don't tell the story properly, in the regular season, he's about average.

Nashville passes. They don’t need more offensive dmen. Lauzon provides something that the rest of our young dmen don’t

If (once being elite) is the criteria, wouldn't the Oilers just be better off signing UFAs Fuhr or Dryden, and keep their picks?

Yeah! The playoffs where he single handedly carried a team who had no business being in the playoffs three wins away from a Stanley Cup mean nothing! The regular season where the team was hampered by Covid bouts and 25 games in 40 games down the stretch are more important! Not the playoffs that came after that!

Forget about 25 games down the stretch, ho2 abouy the last 4 years. Hes below average the last 4 years, has a monstrous contract, and is injury prone at 34yo.
