Lol Price isnt one of the worst goalies... He is still a number one playing for a bad team. He is just not playing like a 10,5m goalie right now. Stop saying **** about other teams player if you dont know ****

price is a top 3 / top 5 goalie in the league per players and GMs.. i dont see grubauer anywhere near
Out of the goalies over the last 2 years with over 2000 minutes TOI (52 goalies)
Price ranks 22nd in SV% (0.9115) - Grub is 15th at (0.9134)
now obviously there's a huge team element there so if you take a look at their performance against expectations, which attempts to isolate goalie results from their team's performance, the picture continues to show price hasnt been good. Expectations look at the difficulty of each save and compare it to the expected save % for that situation, and price has been below average.
Price ranks 33rd in dSV% at -0.25% below xSV% Grub is 24th at 0.08 above xSV% (dSV% = SV% - xSV% - aka difference between SV% and what they are expected to stop).
Price ranks 37th in Goals Saved Above Average at -7.46 GSAA while Grubauer is at 24th with a +1.51 GSAA
So Grub roughly meets expectations of a goalie in his situation, while price has been below average for a goalie in his situation.
That doesnt sound like the kind of goalie I want making $10.5MM, let alone having to give up a decent goalie making $7MM less, and 2 blue chip prospects, Kaut and Byram are 2 of the Avs most recent first round picks.
The habs would have to do Price++ to move that contract at full value for a goalie like grub.
