Confirmed with Link: Montreal Canadiens re-sign PK Subban!!!!! 2 years/$5.75M

[Kriss E]

Would have liked to watch the team a while longer without PK to see if they could keep up the momentum they have built. Not convinced this signing will help the 'team' but hope it works out for a great franchise.

That's just stupid.
PK is a top pairing Dman in the NHL, of course he will help this team. Why wouldn't he?? Oh, you believe he's this big evil 23yo kid??
We win more games with PK in the line up, than without. That's a fact, not an opinion.

His presence will give Markov more breathing room. You won't have to use him for 30min, which also decreases his chances of injury and fatigue.
His presence helps in ways you clearly do not comprehend.

 

[Mrb1p]

I missed it but what was that question that PK said wasn't true..

That he asked Don to speek things up.

 

[Kenny Powders]

For those who are thinking PK is underpaid...

Next year , PK will receive 3,750 in paychecks while Kris Letang will receive 3,5.

OMG why bring logic to this thread

 

[HomaridII]

I missed it but what was that question that PK said wasn't true..

He was asked if it was true that he had told Meehan on Friday to expedite the process.

He said

" That sounds like a rumour, I don't listen to rumours, neither does Meehan, neither does Mark"

 

[Et le But]

That was a Bergevin quote.

I'm not ready to give him blind faith as a GM, but Bergevin is awesome himself.

 

[Habtchum*]

PK never struck me as someone who would ever act bitter in this type of situation...

Hia agent always said that the conversations with Bergevin were always agreable.

More blood was spilled on this board than during the real negotiation between both parties.

We're not considering an insane fan base for nothing.

 

[hockeyfan2k11]

Expect to pay through the nose next time around.

This. And if I hear anyone say he's selfish I'll lose it. He'll be getting Doughty money in a few short years.

 

[Power Man]

lol this guy thinks that when we give a bigger contract to PK in 2 years, he may turn into Gomez 2.0

And he will deserve it.

 

[Bob b smith]

So you would suggest to your player - take 4 million, even though you'll be worth 5-6 in two years?

I'm a Habs fans... But if I'm putting myself in the shoes of his agent, I would have told Subban not to sign the deal. In an free open market, he could have had 6-7+ M/season... I understand he's just an RFA with no arbitration rights, I don't think that means that Subban takes a bit more than 1/3 of his real market value on a two year deal.

so true..... at least now it's all over, we can go back to be nuts for some other reason

BTW, where is Lafleur's Guy???

 

[nyhabsfan]

Does anyone have a link to the press conference?????

We have some of the worst fans in all of sports combined. Embarrassing.

What about Del Zotto who was a 1st rounder ? Del Zotto is better at O and PK better at D.

 

[habtastic]

Lucky man. I can only wish for 12 hours of sleep.

It was well-needed after getting 3 in 48, then rather than sleeping, staying up for the NJ game - which I am so happy I did. That then pumped me up so much that I wanted to watch 24CH, which got by adrenaline pumping so hard, it took awhile to finally fall asleep. In that entire cycle I woke up to the Patches news and next time I woke up it was to PK being signed. Early days in Habsville, but they are exciting! Of course, a loss will send us all into bashing mode. I've been around long-enough. Still not as bipolar as the leafs

 

[Talks to Goalposts]

Held his own in doing what? Helping the team finish 15th? He's good, but remember how Tyler Myers and John Carlson were going to win Norris after Norris?

I think it's easy to look good when you're the top option on a team with no other options.

I'm glad he's signed, but this notion that he's just going to keep a steady incline in performance is misguided. He might, he might not.

That's BS, you know what happens to pretty good but not great defensemen on bad teams? They get asked to do too much and get killed.

Erik Karlsson in 10-11 and Cam Fowler in his first 2 years are the perfect examples. They end up with double digit minuses on the year..

That's the Don Fehr line of thinking....so you would be OK for PK to sit out a whole year and make 0.00??

Well the man is posting stuff on RDS.ca and not here, it explains a lot.

 

[Beerbeerhockey]

But can he fight?

 

[Habtchum*]

so true..... at least now it's all over, we can go back to be nuts for some other reason

Let's talk hockey for godsake !


This negotiation + cba talks = what a drag

 

[Bob b smith]

What about Del Zotto who was a 1st rounder ?

-McGwire said you had to multiply the years and the salary of Del Zotto by two for Subban's real market value.
-Subban will sell merchandise, give the club huge visibility. Del Zotto doesn't fill one extra seat in your arena.

 

[Andros777]

Wow, I was one of the ones calling him selfish.

 

[Kriss E]

For those who are thinking PK is underpaid...

Next year , PK will receive 3,750 in paychecks while Kris Letang will receive 3,5.

The total contract value is still low. But hey, if PK's happy, I'm happy. Really don't give a crap.
I was against the bridge contract because PK will likely see his cap hit more than double in 2years. I was for giving him a longer deal now to save cap room in two years.
That was the point.

But like I said, if both parties are happy, let bygones be bygones be bygones, awesome. Let's start kicking some serious ass now.
