Price can sign long term for a ton of money, or he can sign short term and being one major injury short of losing all of it. The reaction to his acquisition and the excitement in Toronto and all Canada may well give us a big chance at keeping him, but to do so, we're going to have to shatter the team record for biggest contract.
