from Michael Farber of Sports Illustrated,
For those Nervous Nellies in Montreal who are now yapping for general manager Bob Gainey to trade laconic 22-year-old Carey Price and anoint 24-year-old Jaroslav Halak as the No. 1 goalie, please take a giant step back from the situation. Maybe Price doesn’t blossom into the Second Coming of Ken Dryden, but it is still far too early to tell in a profession rife with late bloomers such as Miikka Kiprusoff, Tim Thomas and others who have had a far skimpier portfolio than a fifth overall draft pick.
more plus additional hockey topics, including a look at the Coyotes…

The big problem with not trading Price is you have to a) pay him and b) play him.
In other words, learning on the job is all well and good, and maybe two or three years down the road Price will be a dependable #1… but until then they’re going to have to pay Carey Price 2.5+ mil a year to be a backup.
Not exactly sound fiscal planning. Then again, this is Bob Gainey we’re talking about here.
