I dont agree with his comments at all but that can work both ways Price just jumping in. Shooters and teams dont know his tendacies.

Look no further than Raycroft's Calder.

Chicago will not give up the numbe rone choice. The last 3, 4 years they have drafted extreamly well, and as soon a Khabi's contract is up this year, that free's up 7 mil. If i had to guess, it would take a lot less to get a goalie from the habs than that. Halak going to the Hawks makes a bit of sense, but not throwing around those draft pics. Chicago wont be ready to make a push this year, so what the point? They arnt dealin at a point of weakness right now. Chicago has a lot of tallented youth right now with Barker, Towes, Havlat, and i think someone on that team who will make a bit of noise next year is St Pierre.

Teams dont throw around draft pics like they used to with the Cap.

Mostly likely spot the Habs deal a goalie is to Columbus, Pheonix, Edmonton, Florida or Tampa Bay. Those are my top 5 anyways.

OVERRATED?

Who won the award for the best goalie in the WHL and the CHL?
Who won the award of the best player in the AHL calder cup this year?
Who lead team canada to the gold this year?
Who won the award of the best player in the Championship?
Who was the best goalie in the U-20 championship?

THE ANSWER TO ALL OF THOSE QUESTIONS : CAREY PRICE

Better at his age than was Fleury, or Cam Ward, or Pogge... So please leafs fan... SHUT UP

to chicago : #12 and #22 pick in 2007 draft + Jaroslav Halak (chicago wants a young goali)
to mtl : #1 selection (Pat Kane)

Sergei Kostitsyn and Pat Kane in London were burning the OHL and were making Sam Gagner looking a lot better than he is.

i think Price was hot when he went up to hamilton, just like Dubie with the Islanders, and Aubin with the Leafs last year. thats not to say his skill level is anywhere as low as those guys, but i think if he had a full season in the AHL, especially with a team like the Marlies(it was shitty, and we all know it) his stats would be pretty much the same. I honestly think his stats would have been better if he where on the Leafs, playing ahead of Rayflop… despite what ppl say, we had a very good defense, as can be seen by the stats(comprable to NJ i beleive). if we had had a halfway decent goalie, we woulda done a lot better. Next year, the leafs should keep him in the minors, but use him as the #1 goalie when rayflop starts to get cold, that way, he'll get some NHL experience, but wont be sitting around doing nothing when rayflop is on his game(it happens). Same should be done with Price, keep him in the AHL, throw him in ahead of Halak when Huet goes down

Pogge had a full season to get used to the increase in skill level at the AHL level, he still put up sub-par numbers. In the same league, Price was thrown right into the fire as the starting goalie 2 games before the playoffs and won the Calder Cup and the playoff MVP. I'm not saying Pogge won't be an elite goalie, but he really struggled with the increase in skill level. Price, on the other hand, was even better than he had been in junior. At this point, Price appears as if he will be much better than Pogge. Of course this is still early, and Pogge has tons of time to bounce back. As for Rask, maybe he will be better than Price, but there is no denying that Price had the better season this year.

I would preffer showcasing both Halak and Huet to eventually trade whoever is hottest and move Price up come trade deadline. Both Huet and Halak have alot of potential. Halak is quite young and filled the #1 spot quite adequately last year. Price needs the most games played next season out of all 3 and we need to build one of the 3s value to trade one otherwise we will end up spoiling great potential.
