Price is saying he wants to win now. I have no problem whatsoever witht that. What i have a problem with is his play two years ago.
If he's going to say he wants to win now, let's hope he plays like he wants to win. Is that really a contraversial statement, declaration, whatever you want to call it on my part?
No goalie can survive behind an AHL level D. And no team is going to win anything with the squads we've had over the past few years. We went from up and comer to re-tool in the blink of an eye.
Once again, the problem is that our GM doesn't pick a direction. Sign Price? Fine, no issue with that. Sign him and let Radulov and Markov go? Why didn't you just rebuild then?
Pick a path.
For all this talk of Price being too expensive, we've come off two straight seasons with huge cap space being wasted. If you want to use Jordie Benn or Victor Mete on your first pairing you're going to get crushed. I don't care what player you are.
Connor McDavid is the best player in the league and can't get his team into the playoffs.
And the crappy thing is we've actually got some decent young talent up front. We've got Price in the back. How the f*** we've just sat there and done nothing on the D is a total mystery. We had tons of cap space to fix it too. It's like when Price went down and we got Scrivens. Our GM is fine just letting the club burn... it's just so dumb.
