Value of: Price to Avs

[Big Empty]

Price is still a great goalie. We're not retaining anything and he's not going anywhere. We have absolutely no reason to trade him.

Take a look at the betting odds.
There is no chance in hell the jump would be even remotely as big.
2% upgrade going from Grubauer to Price is probably already a very generous assumption..
Might be one of the biggest issues on this board.
Fans don't seem to realize how small the actual odds even for the best roster on paper are year in and year out.
Which is why it doesn't make any sense to make braindead all-in moves like that...

Avs right now are the team with the best odds to win the Stanley Cup in 2021@ 11.76% ahead of the Lightning who have a 9.6% chance at winning the cup.
Believing that the Avs odds would jump by 15 % just because of Price is completely delusional and shows that you like many others do not really have a grasp on how odds and percentages work and explains why posters like you seem to think dumb moves like that might actually be a good idea...

Jeez winning the Cup at all cost would be the thing to do.
Ask the Sharks and their fans if they could replay it they might have sacrifice the future for a cup win over what they actually did.

Proving your point?

It's a stupid point to make. Of course Price doesn't guarantee a cup.
f***ing McDavid himself, a player is better than anyone on the Lightning's roster (or anyone in the league for that matter) doesn't guarantee a cup either, bro. What are you thinking/talking about?

Let's me try to make this even simpler:

You are not adding Price in a vacuum.
He comes with one of the ugliest contracts in the league and completely screws you over for the last 3-4 years of his contract. You basically have very little chance of winning if your 10M+ goalie starts aging. Especially on a team like the Avs that by then will have to pay all of his young star players...

Avs with Price would be a significantly weaker team especially once they have to pay Makar/MacKinnon/Landeskog...
They would be Toronto but way worse....
They would have to win the cup next year or at the very latest the year after or this would be one of the biggest blunders ever made. There is no logic behind the Avs risking that. None...

Except for winning the cup for the next 2 seasons. No that means nothing.

Grubauer was 5-0-1 with a 0.937 SV% through the playins and the 1st round of the playoffs.

Francouz started 30 regular season games and was 21-7-4 with the 6th best SV% in the NHL as a rookie backup.

It's not like Carey Price (or anyone else on the market today) is immune to injuries, so making a move doesn't necessarily solve the problem we had this season. Injuries happen, and I'd much rather give them another chance instead of replacing them because they both were injured at the wrong time.

And we're supposed to believe, without a shred of evidence, that the Avs will win the Cup with Price in net? I'm guessing you also have a bridge for sale.

Crazy to go for Price when Rask was there for the taking without the long contract.

Yes, according to one of these habs posters, our odds to win the cup would jump from 10% to 25% with the addition of Price. Price is more important to our team winning than the entire rest of our roster (10% on their own, 15% from Price himself) so I just wonder now why the habs don't have the top spot at 16ish%?

 

[wintersej]

Habs have two legit #1 D a generational goalie and arguably the deepest top 9 in the league.

They are going to win the cup next year. Why would they want to give up and rebuild?

That’s a lot of bleu blanc and rouge koolaid you are drinking.

Nothing than adding Price would give you the best shot.
I understand with the cap hit and not wanting to destroy the teams future.
But to anyone arguing the notion that Price doesn't give you the best shot during the next couple of seasons ....delusional, trolling or hate the Habs so deeply they won't admit it.
You can see all 3 by some of the responses in this thread.
And you can see some admit that Price added gives you the best chance .

Name any one player you would have liked to to add to your playoff rooster this past season if he came free with no cap hit.
PS It can't come from a team you faced in the playoffs.

Crazy to make a change in net when you just allowed the 6th fewest goals in the NHL this season and still have both goalies under contract for a combined $5.3m cap hit.

wow your knowledge of hockey is incredible lol.

Feel free to debate it with any of your own knowledge. I would love to make you look foolish.

I think we've seen enough of this thread, overall very little interest from Avs fans in four pages. Closed
