History shows that teams that have the best goalie in the league sooner or later wind up in the finals or winning cups. It's a good thing to have.I love Carey but I'd trade him. It's been proven in this league that your goalie doesn't need to be the highest paid player to win.
It's fine to pay it. If we'd had a decent coach and a few extra pieces in years past this team probably would've already have a cup by now. People have it stuck in their head that paying Price means we can't have other players and that's absolutely false. The reason we can't have other top players is because our GM sucks.The difference between an $11M goalie and a 6M goalie is too insignificant to justify the cap hit. I guess $9M is acceptable out of respect to make him the highest paid goaltender but anything over $9M this doesn't make any sense and he should be traded.
Sign Price to a big contract. Give him a nmc clause that kicks in after 2 years. Then right before it kicks in trade him
Nobody's stupid enough to have a 10+ million dollar goalie who has never stepped up in the playoffs in 10 years and who'll be on the wrong side of 30 with major injury history except for us, the organization with one of the best prospect pools in that position.
And people will keep wondering how come we're mired in mediocrity year after year.
Trade Price and Pacioretty this year.
The next 2 or 3 years you trade Weber, Shaw and Petry.

That being said, it's not a guarantee either. It doesn't matter if you have Price, Lundqvist, Roy or Hasek... you're not going anywhere if you don't have a decent team behind him.
Yes, because teams are going to line up to acquire a 10+ million dollar goaltender that'll be 30+ years old at that point...
Price never did what Halak did in the playoff, I am starting to think he's a regular season player like Pacioghetty.

Oh yeah? You haven't met M.Bergevin yet
Please trade him before we get stuck with a contract we can never get rid of

Right, because the guarantees that we get better after trading the Best goalie in the world are a plenty. This goalie you speak of just got tossed out of the playoffs because his forward group SUCKED, might be the first goalie in awhile to LOSE a series in 6 who had a .933 SV%, Vezina numbers generally. But keep pushing your flawed argument that Price didn't step up. He stepped right up, from .923 SV% in the regular season to .933 SV% in the playoffs. Should he have played a few shifts on the PP as a forward too? or is that asking too much of this terribly overrated and about to overpaid goalie that we clearly don't need to avoid finishing bottom 3? oh wait that already happened, my bad..
