Price would have a .998 save % in front of Chicago though.
Hawks obviously don't need a .998% goalie to win cups tho

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 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.

lol carey cant hear you with his olympic gold medal blocking his ear.I'd rather have Crawford than Price. Crawford is a proven winner, is cheaper, and has better numbers.
I'm sure you would rather have Mat Cullen over Ovechkin as well.I'd rather have Crawford than Price. Crawford is a proven winner, is cheaper, and has better numbers.
weren't the habs first in their division and top 5 in the league for a few seasons?
.
Furthermore, wasn't Pacioretty one of the top 3 goal scorers over the past 4-5 years behind Crosby and Kessel or something like that?
Wasn't your favorite God, PK Subban a Norris winner?
Kopitar - Doughty - Quick
Toews - Keith - Crawford
Pacioretty - Subban - Price
your flaws are so flawed it's comical (sniff smells sooo good to be condescending)

Carey Price isn't elite or a legend in the making. He's an overpaid, above average goaltender for many reasons. Here are just a few.
A comparison of Price to an actual legend as well as a comparison of Price to active NHL goaltenders can be found in the post linked below.

A closer look at how Carey Price's contract is an albatross from the moment it kicks in can be found in the post linked below.

the fact that you can call carey price average and jonathan quick elite is an interesting twist
Read the facts I posted and prove me wrong.
This plate of Nachos (pictured below) is the cutest hamster I've ever seen.
See, I can talk nonsense too.
Just compare the Habs and Hawks line-ups for those years. The Habs line-up is pretty weak.
Now tell me what was the Habs main reason for their success. Let me make it easy for you, Carey Price.
Now lets add the next 4 best forwards for each teams: Kane, Hossa, Saad, Sharp vs Plekanec, Galchenyuk, Gallagher, Desharnais (yikes)!
No need to say any more. Game,set and match. (Feels even better being right).
Im sure the Hawks would love to roll with Anisimov-Schmaltz-Kero down the middle just to upgrade the 2-time stanley cup winner Crawford to Carey Price.
you really didn't post any facts. you comapred price to arguably the best goalie of all time and concluded that because he isn't hasek, he is not elite.
then you posted career numbers of quick and price (which showed price was better overall but quick had better playoff number, yet somehow concluded that that makes price average and quick elite).
then you just added quicks contract and allens contract, and concluded what everyone knows, that price makes a lot of money.
You can talk nonsense for sure.
You can't detect sarcasm to save your life also. You put a lot of effort into that actually it's quite impresive that you thought it was a serious post...
Yikes.
Wrong. I compared Price to a legend after someone like yourself tried to claim Price was in Hasek's league and came to the conclusion Price isn't a legend, read it again please.
Wrong again. Carey Price was not better overall. Regular season Quick = Regular season Price. Playoff Quick > Playoff Price. The regular season is a toss up, Price has a slight advantage in one category, Quick has a slight advantage in another. In the playoffs, Quick is by far the better goalie in terms of numbers and success. "Overall" includes everything, Regular season and playoffs. Quick is better overall.
Wrong again. I concluded what rational, unbiased hockey fans know, that Carey Price is overpaid. Many players make lots of money. Not all are worth it.
so you are admitting that quick and price are at least close, but you still said that "quick is an actual elite goalie".
Quicks playoff numbers are heavily brought down by 2 really great years (38 games), and he deserves recognition for that, but that by no means makes him an elite goalie overall. in fact price has 66 games of elite hockey himself, for actually supporting evidence of that see hart trophy 2014-15.
I'd go so far as to say that Jonathan Quick is an actual legend in the making. His .946 SV% and 1.41 GAA in 2011-12 are both
playoff records for any goaltender who has made it past the second round. He played better in the playoffs that year than any other goaltender in history. Let that last sentence sink in for a minute.
They are close in the regular season but so are nearly half of the starting goalies in the NHL today. Here is the comparison copied from another post...
"His regular season numbers are only slightly better or worse than nearly half of the starting goalies in the NHL today. Rask, Quick, Schneider, Holtby, Bishop, Lundqvist, Crawford, Rinne, Bobrovsky, Luongo, Dubnyk, Varlamov, Howard. All these goalies have a career regular season SV% no worse than +0.05% compared Carey Price's career SV%. Outside of Varlamov(+0.23) and Dubnyk (+0.14), no goalie listed there has more than a +0.09 higher GAA compared to Carey Price's career GAA."
Did he lose hearing in one of his ears?lol carey cant hear you with his olympic gold medal blocking his ear.
