Carey Pric...You know who helped scrapping the plan? Carey Price. <br /><br />If he becomes a top 10 goalie, you can rebuild without problems. Losing with a top 10 goalie is no tragedy. <br /><br />If he becomes a top 5 goalie, it sucks a little. You feel the guy deserves better than all this losing.<br /><br />But if he becomes the best goalie in the league, maybe even the league's best player? Then, you're really, really screwed. First of all, if singlehandedly prevents you from falling too low in the standing and get a good drafting position. Worse, he can make a bad team look like it's only one or two players away from being a contender.<br /><br />Of course, Price only became the top goalie last year and Therrien and Bergevin had already began making mistakes by then. Those cannot be erased.

Barberio is the key question ...A sobering analysis. Barberio is the key question mark. Why he was acquired in the first place, I don't question; if you can acquire a decent depth d-man with NHL experience and not too much mileage, why not? But bringing him up and playing him over Tinordi just made no sense, unless there was a handedness difference, which seems like an awfully precious thing to focus on when the team is in free fall. <br /><br />On balance, Bergevin has until now shown a canny ability to bring value in through trades. And maybe this Tinordi trade somehow does that without any of us seeing how, just yet. But this all feels too much like the snakebit centennial season, the longer we go and the more that freakish bad luck extends the string of dismaying losses.
