Carey Price

[Jerrodedson99]

Is there any chance Price carries the Habs on his shoulders and puts up 30-35 wins? Or am I reaching here? Last year was a write-off but he is still Carey Price. If anyone can win games on his own, it is him.

The reason I am asking is because I can trade Holtby for Tarasenko and can very likely draft Price as my #2 behind Hellebuyck.

What's your league setup? Is it H2H, and if so how many goalies do you start each week?

[Jerrodedson99]

H2H. Stats in my sig in first post. Two goalie spots. Minimum 3 starts.

And how many C, W, D do you start each week?

2c, 2rw, 2lw, 4d

OK - imo keep Holtby. Your league scoring is goalie-heavy, and having Helly and Holtby gives you a huge advantage over the other teams. I am a Price believer but there is only so much he can do with that putrid team in front of him - he's great enough to provide solid GAA and SV%, but he'll deliver far fewer Ws and SOs than the others.

Meanwhile you've got three pretty solid forward keepers - if anything, I'd consider trading Barkov for a high end RW to complement Hall, since you already have an elite C in Eichel, or better still a high end Dman since your setup is also very D heavy. I imagine elite D are likely extremely valuable in your league.

Thanks so much for the great reply; I really appreciate that. I will give a rep once I get to my laptop...

I think Price will bounce back this year but I wouldn’t switch him for Holtby. In a 12 teams league, having 2 solid goalies is a great advantage.
