How many times are you going to ask me this???You support a rebuild now? Great, so does everyone but like...3 people. But what did you want us to do in the summer? I don't remember you wanting to rebuild. I remember you wanting us to re-sign Price. IIRC you were okay with signing him to an even more expensive contract than he actually did. It is true, though, that other players can actually win games for their teams. Carey Price can't.
There's no way to know. We didn't keep Markov, didn't keep Radulov, didn't get a center...That being the case, do you think your plan has worked out better than my plan would have? (Trade Price, and get a different keeper?)
I'd like to have avoided a rebuild if possible. Even if it is a longshot I think you should at least try. If it doesn't work out you can trade those players down the line.
Our problem is we didn't even try. We lost two players, went into the season with 9 mil in cap space...
He's been CONSISTENTLY top five. That's why he has the value he does.If you set the lower threshold at 50, he's still T5 with 3 other guys, any of whom could be said to be 7th.
No, over the long haul he's been the best. Some guys have had good years and bad. Price has been remarkably consistent on bad teams. That's why he's considered the best in the league.No. In precisely one year ever his numbers have been the best in the league. Then he missed an entire season (important for projecting futures numbers), and then he was good, maybe even great, but not the best.
Tim Thomas isn't even in the freaking league and hasn't been for three or four years now. Why the hell are you including him?That's not true. Depending on which season you start with, Carey Price is either tied second (starting with 2010-11) with Schneider behind Thomas, or tied with 6 other guys (starting from 2011-12) behind Schneider. This only considers goalies who have played more than 100 games. Schneider isn't close to this number. And you did say 2011, btw
False. Price was solid on a bad team in 2012. Not being dominant doesn't mean he was bad. As for 2013 he was a leading Vezina candidate for most of the year. It was a shortened season and we had a bad run for about 7 or 8 games that derailed an otherwise strong year. And unfortunately it was a shortened year with no time to recover.Lol, he has not been money in the bank. He was mediocre or worse for two seasons, and injured for a third. You should consider changing banks. He was incredible for about a year of this period, and very good about as often as he was just okay. And that's not to mention the playoffs.
The nature of the position is that it's average based, not cummulative. If you have a bad run it can bring down your number overall. That's not a big deal in a regular year because you can come back but in a shortened season it can make your numbers look bad. It wasn't a bad year though, he finished 10th in Vezina that year.
Out of the six seasons where we can talk about him (the seventh he was a wall before getting hurt around game 15) he finished top five in Vezina votes four times and top ten five times out of six. He's also number one in save percentage over that time and far ahead when we shorten the window from 2014 onwards...
Because you keep being a stickler on a point that that doesn't need to be debated. Again, not all players are considered equal and it's certainly accurate to say that Price has carried the team for the most part. I'm not sure why you have to be so literal on this though...It's true that no one player can bring a team to a 100 point season. I don't know why you keep making that claim and then agreeing with me that it's ridiculous.
Oh God, not this nonsense again...It is true, though, that other players can actually win games for their teams. Carey Price can't. Did you notice how my ''b.s.'' scenarios all happened to us in the last 3 games? How did Carey Price do?
