Honestly, in the last year you have foiled more than one of my strategic moves with the timing of your articles. Have you ever thought about selling early warning insurance on this site? I would happily pay $50 to get a 1 week warning on your 'strategic' articles. Ahh for the good old days of nobody in my leagues having a subscription to Dobberhockey. Nice to have you back by the way. Angus is good, but together you guys make this place hum! - Shoeless Sun, 30 May 2010 13:12:18 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/2834-carey-price-the-st-louis-blues-some-offseason-strategies#comment-6226 I live in Montréal and I don't see Price getting moved at all. Not saying Halak will be moved either, but Price has been held as the franchise goaltender by the organization for three years now. Gainey might not be the GM anymore, but he's still with the team and his boy Pierre Gauthier as a very similar approach and philosophy for his club. Price did his mea-culpa in front of the journalist at the end of the season and is now, finally I might add, showing signs of maturity and understanding of what it takes to play in this league and especially in this city. A good pr job he did. Halak on the other hand, while excellent for us this year, doesn't seem to appreciate the limelight as much as Price. - Haddock Sun, 30 May 2010 11:45:11 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/2834-carey-price-the-st-louis-blues-some-offseason-strategies#comment-6225 I still think Price will have a better career than Halak at the end of the day. Montreal is going to have to swallow its pride with one of the two and commit to the goaltender. I think going with Halak makes sense because he has proven himself (albeit in a small sample size) and he is the safe choice at the moment. I think going with Price is a good move because he has better indications of a longer and more successful career. I want to see Price starting somewhere as I am an owner of him as well. I think if he was traded to a smaller or less intense market he could really thrive given his mental makeup which has caused concern in Montreal. Either way, it will be interesting to see what Montreal does because both are RFA's - Rob Sun, 30 May 2010 10:41:02 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/2834-carey-price-the-st-louis-blues-some-offseason-strategies#comment-6224 How about Berglund for Price? - James Lee Sun, 30 May 2010 10:05:20 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/2834-carey-price-the-st-louis-blues-some-offseason-strategies#comment-6222 How about SJ as a destination for Price? They are up against the cap so they could use a lower priced (no pun intended) goalie with all signs pointing toward Nabokov being shown the door. Letting him grow there might not be so bad because with the offense that they have, they will get him 3-4 goals a game. Maybe the give up something like Setoguchi and a pick (Not sure that would be enough but his stock IS at an all time low). Frees up cap room for them to bring back Marleau, Couture steps into a top 6 role and their problems in goal are solved, theoretically. - bball Sun, 30 May 2010 07:54:11 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/2834-carey-price-the-st-louis-blues-some-offseason-strategies#comment-6221 The Price thing is not a shock. I think that Philly would not put up with a player like Price. He comes across as pampered and as a golden boy.... not the philly image. Pronger is the philly image in every sport for 40 years. - notoriousjim Sun, 30 May 2010 07:52:39 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/2834-carey-price-the-st-louis-blues-some-offseason-strategies#comment-6220 Dobber, no mention of Backes in the Blues piece. What do you see for him next year? Among power forward types for roto keeper leagues (points/PIMs combo guys), how would you rank Backes, Downie & Horton? - AFlyers66 Sun, 30 May 2010 07:38:29 +0100
