Big contracts are for players that are sure things, who have prove to be dominant at the NHL level. After two good years Subban cannot claim to be a great d man.
If your asking do I want to build a rebuilding franchise around a player who thinks 36 points is a great season then no I will pass.

On an ultra defensive team that thwarted his offensive game. He is to blame for the PP being crap? Really? A lot of PK's value doesn't appear on the stat sheet. The fact that he's a +9 on a last place team while facing other teams top lines, being the go to guy in every situation, warrants something more than what has reportedly been offered. He is as sure a thing as the OTHER players coming of ELC's that have gotten long term deals. He's as sure a thing as Price, Max, etc.
