I don't think it is likely that Price is traded, but I certainly don't see that it would be impossible, nor do I see that he would command an enormous return like you have speculated.

Yeap. The closest one I can think of was Luongo when he was first traded from FLA to VAN. Young star goalie with a pedigree.
He went for:
Bryan Allen (late 20's #4 defensive Dman)
Alex Auld (late 20's marginal back up / AHL tweener)
Todd Bertuzzi (past his prime power forward coming off a year + suspension)
And it was actually the Panther who added a 22 year old D prospect (Krajicek, who went on to play 200+ NHL games before going to KHL) and a 6th round pick.
