To BUFFALO:
Phillippe Myers David Rittich Cam Talbot Evan Barratt (P) LAK 2nd 2021
TO LOS ANGELES:
Carey Price Carter Hutton Nick DeSimone VGK 4th 2021
Sabres agree. Patience paid off as we came close on numerous occassions in discussions on Price, and this made the most sense. We feel with what we acquired with Price and what we sent out originally, and then brought in here, we ended up ahead with a player like Myers, a very good looking prospect in Barratt, a 2nd next draft, plus Mitchell Stephens and another prospect (both were acquired with Price at the time).
The full-on goalie swap here was a late addition in order to help balance the salaries a little. Shedding Price's $8.25 million helps beyond this season, while we'll have two capable G's to platoon and see who takes the reins for the rest of the year (and who knows, we may try to sign one of them).
Excellent talks Jay - it's been way too long!

Excellent talks Jay - it's been way too long! Kings confirm. This is an unconventional deal because I didn't see myself being in the market for a #1 goaltender this season, but this is a price I can afford to pay. Love Philippe Myers, but he was on the outside looking in on my blueline and Price will give my young team a much more stable foundation in net while Igor Shesterkin continues to develop in the AHL. Shesterkin's presence in my organization meant that neither Rittich nor Talbot had long-term futures in my organization. Thanks Thomas!
