It's not about Price being supported. It's not about Price being awful. It's about Price, at 10M$, NOT showing an ounce of leadership, he gives up just like Pacioretty gives up, his "chilling" attitude is most likely a "there's a lot of other things than hockey" attitude. And is right now somebody, even at that amoutn of money, a goalie that needs EXACTLY what the just "good" goalie need a winning environment and a lot of defensive support. It says it all when you have to acquire a defensive d-man like Alzner to protect him while this guy is suppose to be the best in the biz, you still need to handle him as if he was just good and needs protection like every goalie needs. While the top scoers of the league, give them whoever, and they'Ll make them look like a star. Reason why giving so much money to a goalie makes NO SENSE. And we will pay the price for it.
I don't doubt for one second though that he has the talent, on a great winning team, to be great. No doubt. You would even see him WAY more awaken. And you might see him get back to his old trophies form. I have no doubt. But what it means, right now, is that he is NOT going to make you better. But he would make AN already great team clearly better. And for me, that's not what a 10M$ should about.
