If Price or Montoya ever becomes a Roy or Hasek or even a regular NHL'er for that matter, then the past accomplishments in juniors dont mean ****. But at this point when they're both young, you simply can't ignore what they have accomplished.
Your previous comparision is heavily in favour of Price, which is unfair because Montoya obviously had an off-year while Price is having a great one. Why to limit the comparision only to the point when they both were 19/20? You obviously did it because then the comparision is in favour of Price, didn't you?
you obviously missed my point
Potential is not about previous stats it's about projection ...
if a player like locke potential was based on previous achievement he would have been drafted way higher than the 4th rd , samething for a lots of players.
Stats are not meaningless but it DOES NOT mean potential.
Potential is the ceiling a prospect or a player have and not his current play.
As for the comparison , go ahead and post both goaltender stats and you'll obviously wont see any difference between price and montoya.
And for the AHL argument , you guys still bring that montoya is great in the AHL and everything he has accomplished is great but you discredit Halak who's doing even better than Montoya in the AHL (and you dont see any habs fans complaining because he's not in the top 50 hf prospects ranking).
And price still cannot play in the AHL.. it's not his fault , its a rules and unless his team lose very fast in the playoff, you won't see him play in the AHL this year.
