Price was the better goalie for their careers, and his top end is still elite, but he hasn’t brought that consistently for 3-4 seasons now.

Markstrom has been better than Price by pretty much any analytic each of the last 3 seasons, and had a pretty good playoff himself.

At this point in their careers I’m not sure it’s that crazy to say Markstrom is better than Price.

The stats show that it’s been the case for three seasons now, and Price just gets the “but he was tired” excuse. If anything Markstrom actually had the tougher work load.

It’s not a home run based on Price ability at the top end but it’s not a ridiculous statement to make. If anything there is more evidence backing up Scorps point than those from the other side.

One thing we can all agree on though is that Markstrom and Price are both better than either of Edmonton’s goalies. And that overall Edmonton is no good.
