Would U trade John Tavares for Carey Price?

At work today 2 Habs fan got in to a discussion on would they trade Price for Tavares, the 1st Habs fan (my supervisor) would do it in a heart beat, the other Habs fan would not....My manager also a Habs fan wouldn't make the trade.

My Supervisor would trade: Price for Tavares & Halak. (He likes Halak)
My co-worker would trade: Andrei Markov, Tomas Plekanec for Tavares

My take trade offer to the Islanders would be something like this:
Galchenyuk, de La Rose, Sergachev, Fucale & 1st round picks 2017 & 2018 for Tavares.

Would u trade Price for Tavares?
Thoughts??

Honestly? I'd say the Islanders would be the first to say no to this trade. Price would be an upgrade over Greiss, no doubt, but the Islanders have almost nothing behind Tavares offense-wise (as much as I love Josh Ho-Sang, he's not at the Tavares level yet; Beauvillier and Barzal look like stud prospects too, but how many times have we seen them flame out?)

Your trade offer would be the most palatable - Galcheynuk brings some offense and Fucale/Sergachev are good looking prospects, so it seems most feasible. But Price for Tavares straight up is a non-starter to me.
