Maybe they can help with the ridiculous homeless problem there eh?
****ing plague I'm telling you. The whole West Coast has a huge homeless/drug addiction/mental illness problem.

And it has spread to the BC interior in the last five or so years: Kelowna, Kamloops, heck even small towns like Vernon, Penticton and Salmon Arm are crawling with these types like it is a zombie apocalypse! Mainly the warm weather attracts them
Define elite. No goalie is winning an MVP every year or even a Vezina every year.
He was playing at elite level the year after his MVP, except he was injured after 12 games. Hardly his fault.
He was elite in 16-17, Vezina finalist is elite regardless of your standards.
Year after he sucked no doubt.
Last year he was close to elite, top 10 in the league, but I guess that would put him in the very good category.
Teams don't pony up for elite performance every year, they pony up for stability and piece of mind. Other teams rotate goalies every 2-3 years hoping to find one on a good year.
Price would want to move to a Cup contender. But if that's not an option, I would think PNW would be second choice.
If we show no improvement , why would he want to stay
I can see a mutual parting
Simply put you dominate . Up until this summer no goalie was within his pay scale .
Not his fault we were dumb to overpay him , but he is paid to be the elite the best in the game .
Finishing 7th in the Vezina is not elite , it says you had a good year that’s it .
Time to put in another MVP type year , no excuses
That's what I said. But he finished 3rd in 16-17, that's elite.
I'll put the thresholds like this:
Top 5 : Elite
6-10 : Very Good
11-20: Average
20+ : Mediocre.
A good read about managing money for NHLers.
In b4 JimBob's usually bitching about a paywall.

Top 5 for goalies isn't elite IMO ....unless your a Vezina nominee multiple times on a consistent basis
That could mean he is tied with Kuemper or Talbot in any given year and gives you no year end ALL STAR team
Elite is Sid and CMD or Ovy performances for years
That's a tier for special players
For what it’s worth, the players have voted Carey Price the best goaltender in the league for the last 2 years (2017-2018 and 2018-2019).
He is currently recognized as the best by his peers.
Regardless of stats and award nominations, NHL players sure seem to think Price is an Elite goalie.
NHL players were surveyed on more than 20 hockey-related questions with more than 500 players taking part in the poll. Players weighed in on a variety of questions – covering skills, arenas, teams and a few other entertaining topics in between.
