- Given that the offer is reported to have not changed since May, the Subban camp doesn't have many options, other than sitting out longer (I'm sure Subban wants to get back on the ice asap) or soliciting offer sheets (Subban supposedly wants to stay in Montreal). So, to get public and media pressure going, it appears to have been in Subban's interest for Meehan to leak the contract terms. We have a motive.
- There has been a 24 hour poopstorm over this, and no denial from the team, agent or any other media. When a story gets this big, other media scramble to confirm or deny. In this case, there's not a peep of denial.

Dont follow "names" as I dont twitt or anything, but wasnt it reported by somewhat reliable sources that MB offer was in the 3 Mil range like last week or something ? and wasnt it a reliable source that said PB wanted Doughty's money ? I mean, if various reliable sources have different numbers, trusting one over another is like flipping a coin.
even if numbers werent right, Agent would have everything to gain in letting people believe in those numbers, would put more pressure on MB.
