Wow. You really don't understand how negotiation works do you?
Ha...ya id be doin same as Subban if I was offered 5.1 over 2 yrs..
What is funny I think Mb said he hasnt seen Subban play,hence a prove youself deal....did he ever see PRice play before droppin 6.5 mill per..lol lame in my book.
Of course and it was previous management who brought in the overpay contracts. What's done is done but right now we ought to put our priorities in order, coughing up the extra cash to get PK signed ASAP would be a good investment for the team.
MB signed Prust for 2.5M for 4 years. This fall into the category of slight overpayment. He signed Bouillon for 1 year at 1.5M. Why sign Bouillon when we already have Weber. I have a feeling that he really does not want to give PK a decent contract. Prepare to let PK sit for a while and that's why he sign Bouillon as an insurance.
Whats your point? He deserve 6Mil$ contract/year? Im more 4-45Mil per year. Are we far apart Mr subbanloyalist?
Nope. My point is your accusations that he's greedy, not Bobby Orr, or wants to be the center of the universe are completely baseless and empty rhetoric.
He needs to show more respect to players like Sidney Crosby who punches guys in the nether regions or a guy like Joe Thornton who assaulted a police officer. Maybe he should look up to Chris Pronger, who demands trades because his new wife doesn't like cold winters or Mario Lemieux, who demanded more money than the Pittsburgh Penguins could afford in the 1990s so they had to instead give him a stake in the team. So many role models in the NHL.
Only unintelligent players incapable of winning the cup hold out of contract negotiations because they are being lowballed. Like that Ken Dryden fellow. Guy doesn't know his ass from his face.
Most recent example is Doughty. He held out and alienated his team. When he came back the team lost all cohesion and ended up winning the Stanley Cup. God forbid we go down that road.

Maybe MB and the Habs management live in a bubble or something because PK is our future and Cube is our past and that fact should inform their negotiations. That said having Weber and Diaz both is not wise, Bouillon is a decent addition for the bottom pairing.

He aint greedy opportunist? LOL. Oh my, new breed of modern hockey player.

So he's an opportunist because he's negotiating a contract now that he doesn't have a valid one?
Great logic there.
Just fantastic, impenetrable logic.
I suppose he's greedy because he hasn't signed yet too, right? Even if Dreger, Lavoie and MacKenzie are reporting a low ball offer. Greed on Subban's part, right?
Wow. You really don't understand how negotiation works do you?
I fully understand how negotiations work. That's why I was expecting a resolution to the lockout in january just in time to save a 48 game season. I knew it would go to the wire, and was 100% certain the season wouldn't be cancelled.
I think it's you who doesn't understand the situation here.

Get real. You were just taking a baseless shot at Subban and you know it.
If you want to talk seriously, I think he's worth more than $2.5M that's apparently being offered.
Not quite a $5M d-man yet, but I think once his bridge contract is over he'll probably be worth more than that, so the bridge contract is actually counter-productive long term when it comes to saving cap space.
Unless he regresses, in which case the bridge contract may be a good call, but I sincerely doubt that happens. So far, bridge contracts have usually ended up costing us more (Gorges, Plekanec, Price).
Most recent example is Doughty. He held out and alienated his team. When he came back the team lost all cohesion and ended up winning the Stanley Cup. God forbid we go down that road.
Oh that Drew Doughty.
It's actually pretty funny to read past articles on his contract signing. Meehan is his agent as well and they wanted less years while the Kings wanted more years. You know, because they actually recognized his talent.
