how much of an upgrade is Price from Crawford?

Price
Season 2.40 / .920
Playoffs 2.53 / .914

Crawford
Season 2.37 / .918
Playoffs 2.29 / .919

actually he isn't

so Chicago gives Crawford / Toews (two of their 4 most important core pieces) for Galchenyuk + 1st and a similar value goaltender?

keep trolling Montreal

Why would chi trade down in goal and centre. If you can call chucky a centre.

I like Schmaltz but ideally he’s not our 1C this year. Not to mention that Crawford has been great for us over the years. Pass

This reminds me of the sad days when we had JVR and Kessel but no first line center and Leafs fans would keep creating crazy offers that everyone else hated...

I'm glad those days are over!

Also glad we still create dumb and crazy offers that everyone hates... :laugh:

Honestly I think it's a bad deal for Montreal.

That 1st is going to be top 5ish and they give up the best player in the deal. Yes, Price's contract is bad, but so is Toews'.

Price has been elite since his first three seasons, how many goalies step into the league at his age? That definitely skewed his stats. He's a legend in the making.

The difference between Price and Crawford,Quick,Murray,Talbot,Vasilevskiy,Holtby,etc; is not as significant when trying to win a Cup as to the difference between Drouin/Plekanec and Crosby/Malkin/Backstrom/Kuznetsov/McDavid/Toews/Kopitar/Carter/Stamkos/Johnson; etc. etc.

Chicago will not trade Toews or Kane unless one of them requests a trade. They are the faces of the franchise that has been the most successful in the last 10 years aside from PITT but it's still close.

Price is not a huge upgrade over Crawford nor is Crawford a problem for them. Toews had a down year, Galchenyuk looks buried in MTL. Late first at this point in time for Chicago is pointless to downgrade this much. They need to hold on to whatever window they have left not become a middling team.

Besides Sv% is a better determination for how good a goalie is. What it clearly shows is throughout their careers Price has been on a worse defensive team than Crawford, even if the last 2 seasons shows Price has been on a better defensive team.

Although neither team does the trade, your reasoning is so flawed it's comical. Price never had the benefit of playing for a Stanley Cup team behind players the likes of Toews, Kane and Keith (to name a few).

Price would have a .998 save % in front of Chicago though.
