P.K. Subban Appreciation Thread Norris Finalist
hab29RETIRED replied to illWill's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
I love subban - by far the best non-goalie hab home grown player since Lafleur. I've been very vocal for the last year that we should sign him to a twelve year deal and during his hold out was a big advocate for a 8 year/$40m deal. Despite how good I think he is. He is no bobby Orr. Coffey was no bobby Orr. Lidstrom and harvey (who ive only seen on dvd) was no bobby Orr (but their impact in how they controlled the pace of the game make them IMO as great a defenceman as Orr). Bourque was no Orr. Potvin was no Orr. Robinson was no Orr. As much as I loved Chelios and have never forgiven Savard for trading him, chelios was no Orr. Orr, Gretzky and Lemieux are on one tier, everyone else is below them - and I grew up hating Gretzky because he took over Lafleur's place as being the greatest player in the game. Even Lafleur who played against Orr said that Orr on ONE leg was better than anyone else. Yes it was a different league. Would Orr get a 150 points today, probably not. But Gretzky also would not get 200 points or 90 goals today. Lemieux also would not put up the same numbers. If for his era, subban can have as much of an impact as Robinson, potvin, Coffey, bourque or Chelios I'd be very happy - and I think he has the potential to be better than some of them. If he can come close to having the type of impact as Lidstrom, I'd be easthatic. But subban is no Orr. -

And hopefully after the PK, PK gets more points to solidify his case for the Norris. -

I wonder if the CBC's criteria for "analysts" - I'm using that term VERY loosely referring to Stock - is that they have to hate the habs. -

P.K. Subban Appreciation Thread Norris Finalist
hab29RETIRED replied to illWill's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
If he wins the Norris he will be above $7M, i think even higher then $7.5M. He can easily can get more then Karlson, since there are more UFA years in the deal. Someone will offer sheet him if the habs play the same game as this year. -
I can't see a bruins announcer or analyst EVER remaining neutral like that.

Diaz won't replace Emelin. We have no one that can replace Emelin.

If he doesn't get the Norris, there is something seriously wrong with the league. He's also looking at $7.5m+ on his next contract. -
I don't think he is going to accept less then $5m/5yrs

So according to Stock, Cole was traded because he was an enemy of Subban. Typical CBC. -

you mean an enforcer would help like the last time we had Laraque and lucic refused to fight him It's not the hit that i'm as concerned about as much as I am how his leg twisted when he fell. -
There will be someone dumb enough to pay him $5M+ over 5+ years. I'd try to sign him for $4.5M for 3 years or $4M for 4 years. If we can move Bourque I'd be okay with $5M over 3 years. I'd much rather try to resign Ryder and move Bourque, even though Bourque is cheaper.

Clowe with 2 goals and an assist for the rangers.

Trade Deadline Day: Habs acquire... nobody!
hab29RETIRED replied to sakiqc's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
I have ZERO sympathy for Bergeron. As far as I'm concerned any injuriess to a Bruins is well deserved. Hopefully, he'll be caught at a movie theatre while he misses some games and then we'll find out what Dr. Recchi has to say. -

I agree. Kreider was on of the NYR's better players in last year's playoffs.
