Machine of Loving Grace Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 It doesn't matter when the deal gets done, just that it does. Everything else is wasted energy. And the relaxed stay relaxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCPetit Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 An awful lot of money. That's for sure. I am glad dor Subban though. I hope he will be up to the task all his career. So far the man has delivered, no doubt about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbhatt Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I feel relieved...was in great fear of an offer sheet situation or a potential trade where we'd get hosed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habs rule Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 and according renaud lavoie here it is: PK Subban contract breakdown: 2014-15 $7M, 15-16 $7M, 16-17 $11M, 17-18 $11M, 18-19 $10M , 19-20 $10M, 20-21 $8M, 21-22 $8M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 What a relief. The second most important piece in a Cup victory, behind a goalie, is signed long term at a fair rate. Subban is the richest defenseman in the league and player in Montreal history, and Bergevin has two million in cap space to pay for potential bonuses. No shame in caving to PK. The rumour mill next year with him on a short deal would be insufferable. The only loser in this deal is Eklund. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 This is awesome news! We can now enjoy the rest of the summer and not worry about stupid rumours coming out of Toronto! The numbers seem fair to me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGC21 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I favour the longterm deal and believe 8 years @ $72M is the price. Get it done.If MB had listened to me back on July 24th, we could've avoided the last 36 hours of bullshit.Still...so, so happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronthab Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 The bag ladies cry with relief. No human being is worth this. We must instill more justice in our culture. Market values are only a part of the questions to be asked. Of course otherwise it's great to have our kid back. But we do have to change the culture.

So ALL the money should go to the owners, and not the players who are better at what they do than anyone else in the world? That argument has never made any sense to me.

KoRP Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Great news, I'm as happy as a Hab fan can be right now. It's only somebody else's money, and I get to watch the Habs with their stud D man compete for a cup real soon! Well done gotta go out to Marc Bergevin! This might have been the toughest contract for any GM to get done ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhatt Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 So ALL the money should go to the owners, and not the players who are better at what they do than anyone else in the world? That argument has never made any sense to me. The argument about what people is worth has always bothered me. You are WORTH what someone is willing to pay you...period. If you have a COMMON skill that doesn't generate much profit for whoever you are working for, you probably don't get paid all that much...nor should you. How 'hard' you work is irrelevant. The socialists can cry all they want...the real world is measured on tangible numbers on a balance sheet. The fact is that PK plays the game at a level that only a handful of men on the planet can, and doing so is part of what generates his owner and his league massive profits....therefore making him 'worth' 9 million dollars per year.

Colin Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 On. The. Cheap. That is a great hometown discount, IMO. I was expecting between 9.5 and 10 because, really, his type of defensemen is rarified air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGC21 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 If you add this contract to the one Subban signed two years ago that's a total of $77,500,000 for 10 years, which equals $7.75M/year. That is still lower than Shea Weber's AAV cap hit! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zumpano21 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Gorges move looks pretty good now. We should have about 6-7 mill in space to re-up on Gallager and Galchenyuk, I'm thinking. Not to mention Beaulieu and Tinordi. Could be tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
