Considering you start 2G, what is your plan for next year if Price is dropped? From what I can, Allen is your only other full time NHL goalie?
So I am going for it this year and the Price owner in my league is trying to move him quite desperatly... he straight out offered his Price for my Fleury.
If I get Price for Fleury this year, I think I have a pretty good shot at the title, but next year, I will have huge cap problems with Price's salary (15M!!!), plus Eichel bound to sign among others (Stone, Turris, etc.)...
Is it worth it? Is there a way to keep Price and his 15M salary next year? Any input is appreciated.

Good point Axe.
With Price at 15m and Eichel to re-sign, you're standing to lose at least 2/3 of Kessel/Malkin/Letang to keep him. If you 're comfortable with that, then go for it.

Price is a winning piece. If you cant afford him next yewr, someone will likely trade there aging goaltender to you for him. Trade Fleury for him and win a title then flip him later if you cant make the cap work
We get one free agent pick each year and I still have mine, so I'm hopeful I could draft one of : Lundqvist, Crawford, Smith or Raanta as my pick. Otherwise, keeping him would mean droping 2 producing guys, which seems less desirable...
I was going to trade my pick to get some help this year anyway, but Price might juste be what it takes... so keeping the pick and getting him would seem good... I'm starting to convince myself...
You can always win this year and then see where the offseason takes you from there.

No, unless goalie cats are equal to player cats. I wouldn't keep him next year in our league. We have 3 cats

Thanks everyone for the input. I made a counter offer including a prospect on my side for a pick on his side (to get below cap) and will see what he thinks...
