Lovett's Magnatones Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 28 minutes ago, Commandant said: Price isnt any of those things. You even got the age wrong Typo, 31...does anybody outside of Montreat believe he's the "greatest goalie in the world?" Murray - 2 cups Bob - 2 Vezinas Lundqvist - Won a head to head series; fans also believe he's the best in the world, and have been telling anybody that will listen for years. Rask - Has a Vezina, worse head to head record. I would say Price is in a group of four or five elite goalies. As for injuries, he missed an entire year, the end of two playoffs, can't play back to backs or two in three nights. Greg Wyshynski makes a good comparison to Lundqvist and his idiotic deal: "All of this is true. And if Carey Price were 27 instead of 31 when this contract starts, perhaps it’s easier to swallow. But he’s going to be the same age that Lundqvist was when he starter his seven-year extension with the Rangers. Three years into it, Lundqvist posted his most ordinary season in the NHL with a .910 save percentage, failing to garner a single vote for the Vezina for the first time in his career. There was less talk about Lundqvist as a dominant goalie than there was about trying to convince him to accept a trade in the near future." All in all, these goalies and their monster deals are like trophy wifes-simply not worth the trouble, and a nice, normal wife will be less of a headache at half the price. Frankly, with this deal and the Oshie deal, it's hard not to think there's another round of buyouts coming with the CBA. To be a complete cynic, GarbageBin said “We’re going to make sure he finishes as a Montreal Canadien and to me that’s a big thing.” Why? He hasn't won a god damned thing besides a second round series against the Bruins. Who cares? This group of Habs isn't going down in the books, Price included.

Price only had one series where we went deep and he got hurt in that series. The team in front of him hasn't been cup caliber, but a truly elite goalie should at least get an average team deep a few more times. I guess growing up with Dryden, Roy and even seeing Penny harness lightening in a bottle has raised my expectations. But even Kiprusoff took a much weaker flames team to game 7 of the finals. You sinners luck along the way and hopefully Price is up to the task - because MB hasn't really put a team capable of going deep unless Price carries them there.

MB should've explored trading Price for Tavares and then signed him to 8 years / 84 million. Then call up Lindgren and have him be the starter for MTL, or Montoya, or maybe MB should've signed Miller, Mason, Elliott or Pavelic? You know what, all this could've been avoided if Gainey had just drafted Kopitar instead of Price like he was supposed to back in '05. Having Carey Price sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I don't think it's a move that can really be argued. Whichever team had Price in this league, they would have signed him to the same deal and I'm not convinced by any means that it's a bad thing. I think he still has his best year ever ahead of him, and he was pretty stellar in the regular seasons a few years back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGC21 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 According to http://www.danslescoulisses.com/fr/radulov-exigerait-4-ans/, MTL has offered Radu a 4-year/$6.5M AAV contract. He hasn't turned it down, he had to fly home to Russia to deal with 'personal issues' yesterday. I say Radu signs it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that if Price saw that MB was spending money on better players, he may have been more open to signing for a discount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank is getting up their in age but again I don't think it's hurting New York. They have had a lot of success the last couple of years.

Word is that the Flyers and Stars have offered Radu more money ($7M+ AAV) but MTL is the only team that has offered the most term (4 years). Radu needs to decide soon.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 The loss of Radulov is REALLY disappointing. As it stands right now, this team has LESS offence than last season, due to the loss of Markov. Once he re-ups, which I now expect, we'll have - as usual under MB - made lateral moves, at the expense of losing Sergachev. Calice, what a f**ked up outcome.

I can't even pretend to be excited about next season at this point. It will be more of the same: a pop-gun offense that depends on Price to allow one goal or less to win on most nights.
