There will probably be a dozen teams that want him and 3 or 4 that will really want him and that's what will drive the price up.
Take Toronto with Bell/Rogers ownership. If they sign Subban, they will probably make more from Leaf TV revenue going up then whatever they end up paying Subban in salary. So, why do they want to lowball an offer for Subban and taking a chance they don't land him?
And why would we even think about moving the kid if there's easily a dozen team interested in him??
If he attracts that much attention, maybe take a step back and look at the situation as a whole.
Dont be absurd. Prust has a role to play and he is doing very well in that role.
Read the thread started today about Practice. You will also find out the role of Prust when the Habs are not playing a game.
Prust is an impact player that is doing a lot to turn this franchise around.
You don't have any problem with Prust and his 0.2 PPG asking for, and receiving, 100%+ of his worth, but you expect Subban to sign for 50% of his worth, to help pay for Prust?
And why would we even think about moving the kid if there's easily a dozen team interested in him??

happen sometimes that GM/Owners of other teams want X player so much they're willing to overpay badly.

You should be asking Bergevin that question because that's the hill he seems determined to die on.
someone said on another board that 2.55 is the initial offer for a bridge contract and since PK hasn't even wanted a short term bridge contract Bergevin has no reason to change his 2.55 offer.
Until PK says he would be open to a 2 year deal why would Bergevin move off his initial offer? This scenario to me makes the most sense.

Stubbs has said Subban was willingly to sign a 2 year deal so long as he was compensated properly. Dreger has tweeted that Subban would likely accept a 2 year deal if it was 3.5m+
And he should never have offered such a lowball deal in the first place
No matter what happens during the negos, I just don't see Bergevin trading PK. It's just not in Bergie's DNA. He's a scout in his soul and he'll be the most patient guy with the young players that are drafted by the Habs.
What else is there to hang on for Christ sake? That's all we've got!
I feel like the Coyote. We're going to look down any day now, and realize we've been bootstrapping ourselves up. Gravity just waits for us to realize it still exists.
