Is Carey Price overrated?

[Balance]

Is he really a top 5 goalie? Does he really compare to the likes of Bobrovsky?

It seems that he can't carry a team into victory as was the previous picture painted of him

Does Sergey Kalinin actually have offensive talent?

It's literally like 5 threads down.

According to the title of that other thread, he can't possibly be overrated.

overrated ? Yes
top 5 ? Yes

I think that's fair.

You can argue that Price is overrated, I just take issue with using his 13 games this year, as one of the arguments to him being overrated.

I'd still consider him a top 5 goaltender if he sustained an .880 save percentage for the entire season. Maybe a top 10 at worst. If the trend repeated next year and he had another below average/bad season, that's when I'd no longer consider him elite.

so we're just gonna erase his track record after 13 games?

Seems logical.

Actually, he has been overrated in the past, right now seing how many people are making a case for him being the worst goalie in the league, I'd say he's currently underrater.

Still a top-5 in the league to me.

That's the issue that I take with this.

Just look at Bobrovsky, he had an identically horrid October of 2015, it was probably even worse than Price this year. I compared numbers the other night. Bob's start was so hideous, it got his head coach fired. People acted like he was finished, then he got healthy and turned around and won the Vezina last year, and had an amazing season.
