What have you done for me lately ? Over the last couple of years what has Price done to make you consider him better ? Overall body of work Price has done more but that isn't Andersen fault as he hasn't been around long enough . I like Price but I have a feeling his better days are behind him . Now can Andersen play to the level he did last year ? Only time will tell . Talbot was great one year and fell of the cliff the next

It's been a beautiful rebuild indeed.
However, you're still a 'knocked out in 1rst round' team for all we know.
Don't start sniffing your own fart yet.
On another note, congrats to people who said that they'd take Andersen before Price at 6.5. You've all managed to categorize yourself in the homers' cuckoo's nest

It is a part of who they are today. But you are right it is a bit off topic. Of course any team would want a healthy Price. That is in question though. If I were sure of a healthy Price I would make the deal.

Lol Leaf fans. Andersen does not come close to Price’s level - regardless of stats. And at 6m, Price is an absolute steal. Any and every team in the league would want Price at 6m.

lol. yep, only your opinion matters. not reality
Surely stats start to matter at some point though right?
He's 30, coming off surgery and a season where he played very sparingly and with a .900
I still think right now if I had to rank them, he's in my top 10 but he isn't top 5 anymore and he's close to starting to free fall down that list.
49, 60+ and 12 are his last 3 years worth of games played that's scary on a long term deal, AAV not even taken into account.
If I get the chance to move Freddy for Carey I would do it in a second if the AAV was the same and th3 contract length was the same.
But they aren't, and one has shown to have some injury issues and is signed for a loooooong time

I wouldn't even rank him at all - just put an asterix next to his name and wait for more information.
Retaining all that money isn't pretty, no doubt about it. The only problem is that keeping Price for his entire term might be even more atrocious. I really hope he regains his form, without that happening MTL is screwed for years to come. Not good for MTL fans, not good for the game of hockey and not good for Leaf fans who are dying to kick the crap out of MTL in the playoffs.

I despise Montreal and I will admit that when healthy, he is the most dangerous goaltender in the world.

Previous two seasons, all situations stats for goalies that have played more than 2000 minutes:
GSAA:
Andersen: 37.89 (3rd/55)
Price: -8.57 (37th/55)
dSV%:
Andersen: 0.89 (14th/55)
Price: -0.26 (36th/55)
---
Last 3 seasons, over 2000 minutes:
GSAA:
Andersen: 42.77 (4th/62)
Price: -1.88 (40th/62)
dSv%:
Andersen: 0.8 (9th/62)
Price: -0.05 (38th/62)
---
I'd legitimately take Andersen over Price at 50% retained. Price is ridiculously overrated and has been for years, and Andersen is ridiculously underrated.
But sure, let's pretend like stats mean nothing. Go eye test!

Ridiculously overrated lol. So I guess those who actually cover and analyze the game for a living know nothing because there had been a general consensus for a while now that’s he’s the best goalie in the world. But no it’s cool, you know something they don’t.

Seeing how they still use GAA as a be all end all stat, yeah i do know more than them.

2016 called, they want their goalie opinions back.
Price at his peak absolutely is the best. But that hasn't been the case for 2 years. Plus he has health issues and a gigantic contract. Andersen is plenty good enough for the Leafs moving forward.
And we're keeping Nylander.

People who analyze the game for a living thought it would be smart to give him a contract like that
Weird in other threads that talked about the Leafs defense I heard how amazing Andy was and how he was the only reason the Leafs were ranked like the 12th best in GA and made the playoffs.
Now in a thread about Andy I'm seeing people post that the Leafs defense isn't bad and Andy wasn't responsible at all for the Leafs good play.
Strange how that happens.

Leafs don't need a goalie to carry them to the playoffs. they need a goalie who won't post numbers like Price did last year
6.5M is still too much for Carey Price. He's not the same player that won the Hart, Lester etc. I have problems paying 5M to Freddie, there is no way the Leafs can put in 6.5M for a goalie. They are going to walk away from Freddie in three years and look toward another cheap goalie who can be signed for 3-5M again when he's due a raise.
Goalies have the worst trade value. They are worth almost nothing because they are so unpredictable. Carey has too many years on his body. He's not young anymore, his best days are well behind him.
Trading a guy like Nylander for him would be worse than the Hall for Larsson trade.
