Price is an upgrade over Bryz, I would take that deal with your stat-cats for sure. Price's upside and age will help you more than Bryz...and I think Price is poised for a very nice rebound year with Martin coming into MTL.
Goalies stats play a huge role in my league. Head to head, 20 teams, 25 man keeper rosters, max 3 goalies. Goalie Categories are Wins, Sv% and GAA (other league categories are G, A, +/- and PIM).
I currently have in net: Bryzgalov, Smith, Howard
I know the owner that has Price is not a fan of his.
How big of a jump is Price over Bryzgalov in your mind? Would you do a Bryz and Mueller trade for Price?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Yes, I would do this trade. Probably the cheapest you would be able to acquire him for...

Price is a monumental jump over Bryzgalov. Trade Bryzgalov and anything else you can to upgrade before the other GM realizes the Bryz hype is just too much.

I dunno - that's a pretty deep league to be giving up a decent starting goalie and Mueller for a goalie upgrade. I would like to see alot more of your team before I jumped on this deal as being good.
While I love Price over Bryzgalov, I think that you'd need at least a decent prospect coming back to even things up.
Yeah...I guess I only saw Price/Bryz and really didnt look at the rest of the deal. A prospect in return would be nice. I would definitely start figuring out a way to make it happen though. Sooner or later, people are going to realize that Bryzgalov is just another Marty Biron.

haha Dubbal, I dont think he's another Biron, but you're right he's no Price. Put it this way, Price is a prime buy low candidate so this is the time to acquire him, but I dunno if sending Bryz/Mueller is a good buy low offer, it seems pretty balanced to me actually. I think both goalies are poised to have big seasons next year, and stats wise they may be similar. Long term though, Price is your man
