Carey Price
Hi everyone,
I'm in a salary cap keeper league (12 teams, 18 players, 10 keepers). Categories are G A PP SH SOG PIMS .. W SO.
Should I hold on to Price or try to trade him? His 10.5M cap hit next year is huge (75M total cap hit). One GM is in need of a goalie (his only goalie is Hellebuyck) and I could offer him Price + 4th rd pick for Wennberg + a 8th rd pick. To put things in perspective, I could use the difference in cap (around 4M assuming Wennberg signs at 6M) to acquire someone like Darling, Smith or Mason). With categories only being wins and shutouts, Price isn't as valuable. Darling could end up only 10-15 points behind Price (or even less if Carolina takes a good step forward).
Re: Carey Price
Who else is on your team?
Price still carries a 6.5M cap hit this year. You mentioned his "10.5M cap hit next year is huge (75M total cap hit)", so I am a bit confused. This year's total cap is 75M, and should be higher next year. Is he already worth 10.5M in your league?
Re: Carey Price
No he still has a 6.5M cap hit this year but I figure I would need to trade him right now as nobody will want him (or at least his value will be diminished) later on. He's a top 5 goalie regardless of stats but he's not worth the cap hit.Originally Posted by tobias
Re: Carey Price
Makes total sense. That has already happened in my cap league, too.
Are you a competitive team this year?
Who are your other goalies? I'd want to have another solid goalie before trading Price and hoping to land a Darling, Smith, or Mason. That's a very scary proposition.
Re: Carey Price
Im all for trading him but not giving him away, which this trade seems to be the case.

Re: Carey Price
I'm very thin in goalies if I trade Price away. My other goalie is Anderson. I don't expect him to be all that good this year. Ottawa has the most back to back games in the league and well Anderson is getting older and injury prone... I just know that next year Price won't be worth his cap hit and it might be very hard to trade him at that point.
Re: Carey Price
Next year is next year. If you're in a position to compete this year, then you keep Price and do just that.
If you are going to move him, you need at least a strong starting goalie back, plus more.
Re: Carey Price
If you can't get more than Wennberg, I'd stand pat.
Darling COULD be an interesting player to acquire but if you can't guarantee that you can land him, it's 1 more reason not to pull the trigger on this one.

Re: Carey Price
I am not disagreeing with you; thats why I said that I am all for trading him. I just think this offer is too thin. I'd show a little patience here. Have you put him on your trade block? Is this the first offer for him? You don't have to jump at the 1st offer.

Re: Carey Price
I tried gauging interest in the league and no one seemed to have any. I'd say the ones who will likely contend this year are all set goalie-wise. I'll wait until I get offered something better but feel the offers will get lower and lower as the season goes on.
Re: Carey Price
I am not sure if they will get much lower than this.
