If you're starting a franchise who do you pick to start it?

Carey Price or Jaroslav Halak? Explain why

Please no Hab fans.

If I was starting a franchise, I'd probably want to see what other goalies are around.

The OttoMan Lion · 12-26-2009, 02:21 PM

I'd get Price and trade for/sign a better goalie for him to work under.

Seguins Dragon* · 12-26-2009, 02:50 PM

i voted price though

I vote Price.

Durability is a valid factor nowdays, Halak never played more than 47 games at any level.

Price proved he could handle way more game than Halak who wears down a lot when he plays too much.

This, in all seriousness.

Halak - flavour of the month.

DG likes this.

I love how people forget that Price is 22 and then get boners on Lundqvist, Nabokov and Kiprusoff who started at 23, 24 or 25.

SURE, Price isn't a top 10 goalie right now. Surely, that means he sucks and will never improve. And for a 22 year old goalie, his stats are actually good.

Zubrus Coffee Maker · 12-26-2009, 07:37 PM

price has more value on the trade market so him.

I like Halak better now and IMO he's more sure fire... More likely to always be a top-15 goalie.

But Price has top-3 goalie written all over him. He (and MAF) are the next great round of Canadian goalies.

price for me.
