Player Discussion Carey Price - Spring Savings Edition

[CAUFIELD]

Price is back on the ice this morning. Chariot was taking shots on him. Having these 2 back soon will help, in addition to Armia.

Another weak goal against Ottawa.

 

[Habs4Life]

Allens been better this year and way cheaper

[dnl4ever]

price or not, this team is no good.

 

[Natey]

Can we fire Bergevin and make our new GM get Seattle to take Price? That would be lovely.

Or sell the franchise to Seattle and take their expansion one , start from scratch.

Care to rephrase that?

 

[angusyoung]

He should learn how to contain the rebounds,would avoid having to make acrobatic cover-ups.

No, we can't.

I mean, we can do the former, but nobody in their right mind is taking Price off our hands.

Accepting this fact now will save us a lot of grief and pointless bickering down the road.

Going to be long 5 years with Carey Price's 10.5 million cap killer. He is barely starting NHL caliber goalie now. Only to get worse as he ages. Weber we can send down, I am sure he will retire instead of riding the buses. Where he is only scheduled to make a million final years of his contract. Byron and Drouin are movable. But Price has full NMC.

 

[azcanuck]

pretty sad he allows 3 goals on 13 shots, not a premier goalie's work. But to be fair the team was flat.

Yes and no.

I will not blame all the loses on Price. But it is pretty clear he is not up to par anymore. He should be able to salvage this team when they don't play good but he has not done it. Worse I have seen him giving up back breaking goals when the team are actually playing good. He is not a star player and he is more an average to below average goaltender paid as a franchise/dominant player.

Bergevin scewed up with this contract based on previous achievement and to save his ass. Now we are stuck with this dumb decision.

 

[Tuggy]

So hurt again...

Any chance he can develop an "allergy" to his equipment?

Can't stop the puck anymore, has an albatross of a contract, can't stay healthy, about to turn 34 this year and things will probably only get worse. Waite talked about his broken down body.

But hey, only 5 more years left at 10.5 AAV.

Need to sweeten the deal by throwing in Weber

 

[sj315]

He's gonna be bought out sooner or later.

 

[kgboomer]

He's gonna be bought out sooner or later.

Easier said than done, his contract is buy-out proof. It's all signing bonus, saving maybe 1M a year of cap space. Which is really nothing as you have to pay another goalie to replace him.

 

[dinodebino]

When did Waite talk about is broken down body?

 

[WinterLion]

He's gonna be bought out sooner or later.

Maybe we can send him to Seattle and he can become Fleury!

I agree, however if he's like this for another 2-3 years, 1M saving and 1 extra roster place still make sense.

 

[sj315]

Maybe we can send him to Seattle and he can become Fleury!

You never know, he's probably mentally destroyed by these bad defensemen for years, a new team might cheer him up.

 

[Habs]

So what happened to the Prince last night?

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

So what happened to the Prince last night?

He had a little knock on the neck at the refused goal and didn't came back, said Ducharme.

I think Price have the injury 'Hab Jake Allen'.
In french it's : Price a la blessure abjecte à l'aine.
