IMO, it's a little funny how East Coast Press hype overinflates player's perceived values. Example: P.K. Subban, A couple of 1st place finishes, but, little playoff success for his team, and the guy is getting a $9 million cap hit contract that pays a couple of $11million seasons! That seems like a lot of cash tied up in ONE guy, for a team that needs other improvements.

I usually agree with most of your posts, but I think you're way off here. Holtby is one of the very best young goalies in the game, he is much better than Crawford.
You can't evaluate how good an individual player based on how many cups they have, that's just silly. Crosby only has one cup, but that doesn't make him not the best player on the world.
Holtby has elevated his game in the playoffs every time he's played in them and he's only getting better. He's their most valuable player after Ovechkin.
