Where will Carey Price rank all time for goaltenders when he retires?

[Leon Lucius Black]

161-10-18 when leading after 40 minutes throughout his career. Curious to see how this stacks up against other goalies. Anyone got some stats to help me put this in perspective?

Hasn't Freddy Andersen already lost 3 games this year after leading after 40 minutes?

People seems to forget how bad he was before that hart season. Need a couple of other good seasons before rating him in the tops of all time.

What? He had already finished 5th and 4th in Vezina voting. Has he ever been inconsistent? Absolutely. He seemed to easily lost his focus as a young goalie. But he's been a pretty spectacular netminder since 2013 now.

Well, he was a statistically below-average netminder for only two seasons in his career; in 08-09 (and then again, he was just barely below average at 21 years old, which should really not be held against him, considering nearly no goaltender establishes himself at that age anymore, let alone becomes a starting netminder) and in 2014.

So, the facts say he wasn't bad whatsoever, and that means he wasn't bad, regardless of what you may think or write.

Right now, I am not convinced that Price is any better than Braden Holtby. He needs a couple of years to reestablish his place. I don't think Holtby's game last season was a fluke or a career year.

He's a top 5 goalie this season... all time? Call back when he's got a Conn Smythe, a couple Cups, and a couple Vezinas. He's 29, still some time left but I think a guy like Jonathan Quick, who is 30, is much more decorated at this point in his career.

 

[karnige]

hard to say. IMO I think he will be a marshawn lynch. dominant for 5 years then taper a lot.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Right now hes pretty much what Ed Belfour was before 1999.

I think he's pretty comfortably separated himself from those goalies.

No problem if you thinks he's the best but those goalies have accomplished quite a bit and career wise there isn't that much of a separation.

For the past five years both Schneider and Rask have comparable stats and have both played more games.

Loungo has won 439 games, .919 sv%, 2.49 gaa (Olympics, Stanley Cup Final)
Price has won 235 games, .920 sv%, 2.42 gaa (Hart, Vezina, Olympics)
Lundqvist has won 377 games, .920 sv%, 2.49 gaa (Vezina, Olympics, Stanley Cup Final)
Quick has won 252 games, .916 sv%, 2.27 gaa (Conn Smythe, Stanley Cup x2, Olympics)
Fleury doesn't have the stats but has two Stanley Cups and won 360 games

Holtby is right there also with wins in the past few years and the Vezina.

If any of these guys win the Vezina or Cup this year than Price is looking up at them in all time standings.

These threads are always fun.

I have nothing of value to add to this conversation

Will likely slot in that tier with Lundqvist and Schneider just below Brodeur but above Roy and Belfour.

But I don't think Bettman and the Americans will ever let him win Hart trophy again. I think he's got at least another 2 or 3 Vezina in his future.

But we're seeing three generational talents, one at each position, on Canadian teams now. I have a feeling the league will want one of them traded to an American team. If Price gets moved to a new team all bets are off.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

No reason he can't end up top 25-35.

Watt????

 

[Bieber fever]

LOL, Price probably goes #2 in a 2005 re-do but Crosby is still #1 from that draft class. As to the ? of the thread I figure at best he gets top 30-40 all time if he stays healthy.

Crosby is obviously first so far , but i doubt he will play another 10 years with his concussions.With price you are looking at ~ 20 seasons of elite goalenting, very similar to Brodeur career.

if carey price were to retire today, i dont think he'd be ranked very high in terms of all time great goalies. right now i have goalies like chris osgood and ed belfour ahead of him. I'd say like he'd take a spot within top 15-20

 

[Autism]

Top 50

...That's kinda like saying Jamie Benn ranks below Vincent Lecavalier and Mark Messier at this point : while it might be true, it just doesn't make a lot of sense as a statement.

To be fair, fleury didn't play at all for his 2nd cup so I take that one with a grain of salt. I say this as a pens fan.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

As others have said, he needs to win a bit more stuffs to be on the all time greatest discussion.

If he keeps this current level of play up? Christ yes he will be in the discussion. But right or wrong, a lot of these things come down to hardware. If he happens to not win a cup, he will be looking up at a lot of other guys.

Thats pretty rich.

We'll see when he retires

eh. he did backstop us through the season to get to the playoffs and he did play a little in the playoffs... but terribly.

Oh for sure. He was the man all season. Just saying .. when it "counted" .. he played one game and **** the bed.

Hm? If Jamie Benn were to retire today, yea his legacy would be worse than the other two mentioned players.

The question is where does Carey Price end up when he retires. I dont know when he'd retire but if he retired today, because he hasnt done much, he wouldnt have a great legacy.

I dont get your qualm with my point. Maybe I didnt fully flesh out my thought there budss.
