She's either an expert troll or this is happening.
I love that she’s playing up the whole thing. Watching everyone spin in circles is what I’m here forShe's either an expert troll or this is happening.
The Kraken taking Price would be great. If even just to silence some of the people in this thread.
People in the "it makes some sense" camp have tried to state that a player like Price would be an attractive target for an expansion team. More off-the-ice than on-the-ice, because Price gives you a superstar in which to market to a new group of fans. The fans in Seattle instantly become excited about their team's possibilities if they acquire a player with such a brand-name as Carey Price.
Yet, despite this perfectly logical reasoning, there have been some people in this thread who have felt the need to try to be the smartest people in the thread. "You don't know anything about business or marketing". "No way any team takes that contract, and you are stupid for thinking so". Etc., etc., etc.
These aren't 100% the exact words said by some people, but these words basically capture the essential meaning behind what some people have been posting.
The Kraken taking Price would hopefully get these people to tone-down their know-it-all type attitudes, and recognize that maybe they don't have this superior grasp of business/marketing that they seem to think they have.
EDIT: I am not saying the Kraken takes Price. But there are definitely valid reasons why they would, despite these reasons being totally dismissed by some people.
She just fed a media storm that really shouldn't happen. At least respect the fans and the rest of the team players buy not dipping into the speculation mania.
There's quite a few solid top 6 contributors available both in FA and in the xdraft for Seattle. If you already have Driedger signed there's really no point in paying three times as much for a worse starter. The cap is better spent elsewhere.
A worst starter? Lol do you know who Driedger is? Clearly not.
He's not a starter, he's an AHL goaltender who have appear in 40 NHL games at 27 years old.... Get a clue!
27 year old Driedger who hasnt proved f*** all yet is better then the goalie who just carried hes team to the stanley cup finals? only on HFMost goalies do not become a full time starter until their mid to late twenties.
.927 in 23 games with the Panthers in front of you is better than Price. He was 4th in the league for goals saved above expected per 60 5v5 for guys that played at least twenty games, behind Saros, Hellebuyck, Nedeljkovic.
It seems like you have no idea who Driedger is, but Seattle does, which is why they snapped him up. When you consider the difference in contracts, it's not close.

you need to attract those ufas buddy and Driedger wont do that.....gtfo with ur hate for the habs Price is 10xtimes the goalie Driedger hisFor a third of the price? When there's a bevy of forwards and D to spend the cap on? Absolutely.

Better than using 10.5 mill per year on an AHL goaltender
...that just carried a Cinderella-level underdog tot he Finals...yup, AHL-level...thanks for your input here, Mr. Wonder...
And then had one of the worst finals performances of all time. North division was always the easiest path to the finals. Meanwhile in a much larger sample size he's been a fringe goaltender for years now
...you might wanna stop eating them grapes, they're making you sour...we'll worry about the Habs, you just worry about...whatever it is that feeds your malcontent...
Lol ok. Stick your fingers in your ears and keep dreaming someone will take your fringe goaltender on a terrible contract who is getting hip surgery (the career ender for most goaltenders) off your hands. Habs fans are the worst.
