To clarify, that's 8 years after next year -- so 6 years in total of their goaltender being better than yours.

He's the best goalie in hockey, with the exception of maybe Bobrovsky, although I can see maybe having an issue with committing 10.5M to a guy behind suspect D who will probably only play 60-65 games a year

Not just the highest paid goalie but tied for the highest paid player until McDavid's extension is finally announced.

Well, they were missing a good defenseman, so

They'll just dump him on an expansion team.

It seems like a lot, but I think Price has an easy time arguing he's worth 2.28 Karl Alzner's at the very least.

If it is for Sbisa, I think we can dial back the "Goerge is an idiot" rhetoric, although I'll maintain that he still drafted sorta poorly and should have just just rolled the dice on Hudon.

That Price contract is probably just keeping up with the % of cap hit that someone like Lundqvist had at the time he signed

It's a poo poo ton of money though

He's the best goalie when he's on his game but man he looked kind of off in the playoffs last year

So bad

That move has been expected for quite some time to get the Hawks under the cap. Bottom six is gonna be a mess next year, though. Even if he was overpaid, Kruger is more effective defensively than the guys they're going to try and replace him with.

hossas weird thing and losing hammer made me think they could keep Kruger. I feel like they got afraid of the league office doing anything where the hossa contract would matter and are playing safe instead of abusing the cap

You know he's the villain, because he's got shifty eyes.
Price should get injured less often now that the team no longer has Emelin to crosscheck guys into him.
