If he was drafted in 3rd round maybe not, but in 5th overall with Anze Kopitar after that...

I'd rather have Price. He's the guy you'll have to build around.

At the moment, just like any other skilled guy when they are here, they are asked to be defensively minded, and it kinda stifles them. Plus, just another skilled euro, of which the Habs have had enough of. I'll take the canadian Price over him any time.

We don't have a skilled player, so we obviously don't have a skilled Euro.
Plus it's nothing bad with having an European on your team, the issue is when you have only that and you carry no toughness.

The fact that Carey Price is Canadian, Desharnais is Quebecer or Kopitar is European doesn't bother me at all.

Price is and will be the backbone of the franchise for a long time. The guy is only 25. What other goalies are better than Price that are the same age? He's easily our franchise player, and most teams would love to have him.

This works out well for the Brothers Kostitsyn. Now they can take the same flight home at the end of the season to start their KHL careers.
