Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

Price will very easily get into the HHoF.

Winning a Cup will be held against him, but it won't be held very strongly against him. It's not like he was on great teams that under performed because of him (That is role is reserved for The Choking Dog). He was the main reason the Habs got as far as they did and in the year where they had the best shot of possibly winning, Kreider took him out in game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals when he was at the height of his game. That will always be a major "what if?".

The " what if " for me is what if we traded him at the right time
 
When was the right time? Price had a full NMC the year he won MVP 2014-2015 and all the way till 2018 trade deadline had he not been extended

Bottom line

You dont hand out that moronic contract when it was a disaster 5 minutes after the ink dried

Habs were going fucken nowhere , and Price was already showing injury concerns

Team bid against themselves , no team was handing him 7x 12 mil to match

This was the Skinner contract we handed out , a disgusting albatross and now have 4 more years to deal with it

Contract should of been 5x 8.5 which was more than fair and more easily digestible and moveable

Take the deal or get traded and let some other fool deal with it
 
Interesting though, Price and Halak's numbers are near identical. Accept that Price has played more games.
Jake Allen has excellent stats… when he plays fewer than 33 games per season. It’s a completely different ask to do it as a workhorse like Price has been until last 3-seasons
 
Guess Carey has been holding his cards close to the vest. He's been talking like he had no idea when he'll be ready.
