Not surprising.

If he only got 2.55Mper, what will Subban get.

[DespoticNewt]

That's it for MDZ? Kid must love broadway.

[CaliDubiZib]

In Sather we trust

[N9Y4R]

This is what a typical bridge contract for a non-arb eligible player coming off their ELC should cost. Might be a little lower than expected. Slats is a master of the 2nd contract. The 2nd contracts we have seen the last couple of years have been ridiculous. MDZ has a chance to hit it big next contract with 2 good yrs.

[Flukeshot]

Can't be right. Maybe Brooks is dividing the real number 5.1m by two when its actually that per season. If not, good job Rangers.

sweet terms its what I was hoping for. So with this Rangers are carrying 8 D. 3 vying for the 6th spot but I still see them trading for a vet at the deadline

( sorry to bring this up today HABS fans )
McDonaugh, Girardi
Staal, Stralman
Del Zotto, Bickel
Gilroy, Eminger

[BBKers]

Hahaha
$4M* was going to be the number???

Said $2,5 for 2 years all along
Where are all you experts noW???

[HatTrick Swayze]

Dear NHL GMs,

This is what a second contract looks like.

Best,
Glen Sather

Has to be at least 4 years, $5.1 per for Subban, since he is "twice the player" Del Zotto is according to the Habs board.

Del Zotto isn't a comparable when it comes to Subban. Not at the same level and different kind of defensemen.

[Ih8theislanders]

Sooo what happened to the fans of other teams telling us he would get 4m per?

[Gliff]

4 mil was longterm. Now you guys will have to pay 5 or more for UFA years in a few years. 2.5 is great now though.

[Hottubber]

How does slats go from giving out money like candy on free agency to being such a great negotiater with his rfa's

[rynryn]

[MDZ]

Ugh did we have to sign Gilroy?

He has always been like that. Signing his own guys, he's great. Signing FA's? Throws money at them.

[sweranger]

Well done Mr Sather
