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

[Cole Caulifield]

So some are complaining that we offered him too little?

Seriously?

I complain that Bergevin low balled our best young player into a hold out and signed him to a bridge deal that makes no sense. I haven't changed my mind. I was against the bridge deal from day #1. And I thought this should have been done before season started. I guarantee you that the 0.5M Bergevin won in this negotiation wasn't worth the hold out and bad blood. But people will understand this later.

Making lots of sense.

That + the two Gallys = one of the brightest day in the recent Habs history.

Yup, it's a fine fine day for a Gally Subban Gally sandwich.

 

[Mrb1p]

Real question is does he slot in tomorrow?

Probably not, look at Benn.

 

[Price is Wright]

Real question is does he slot in tomorrow?

I think Therrien will play him. He won't play his usual 20+ minutes and Therrien will rely on Cube a bit more but we'll see him play.

I'm disturbed by the amount of hate that PK is getting on the Habs official Facebook and Twitter page.... What the ****?

If PK asks and gets 5-6 million in his next deal. It's not because of bad blood. It's because he earned it.

 

[Hoople]

Yeah, like Montreal media and fans have ever been reasonable regarding a player's cap hit and salary. PK gets signed to Doughty money, people will have a ****-fit within a year and want him traded for cap space.

Good deal for the habs though, as for relations between the team and Subban and long-term cap hit, we'll see.

I thought the whining was for the 10 threads arguing about who was right and who was wrong and how much was going to be paid and who he was going to be traded for.

Cmon man, be happy for the Habs.

On an aside, I really am going to miss those 10 PK Subban threads. Great times for sure.

This is the kind of casual fans that goes with what RDS says, don't be surprised, they've been brain washed.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

It's about time. He should be hungry to play too

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Everyone who is ecstatic about this make me laugh.

It's a RFA signing. It's SUPPOSED to happen. It's not some big move by Bergevin. The surprise here is that this wasn't done before the season started.

I'll have to agree. Considering how badly this could have gone, and considering how much more the Habs could and most likely will be paying Subban in the future, I agree that this was a rather short sighted plan. Still, it's nice to have Subban back.

Let me just say Bergevin will make a good politician some day.

 

[Carboneer]

We were 100% justified in our hatred. Bergevin low balled him like crazy and made him hold out for no reason. He makes less than MDZ that's laughable.

If anything it's all those who blamed Subban for the hold out who have just been proven wrong.

To be fair, you can't really go around telling people that your own hatred is 100% justified... its called being biased lol. Your hatred was bogus.

exactly. there's nothing wrong with paying money someone deserves. nothing.

 

[bigtimehockeyfan999*]

if the leafs board was coming anywhere near us..we're pulling way thr **** ahead now

 

[InglewoodJack]

Good. PK looks like the type of guy to immediately put on his game face and put this all behind him ASAP.

Does anyone know how many total games PK and Markov have played together? Not necessarily on the same pairing, I just feel as though the number of games both have been healthy and in the lineup is below ten.

 

[Habaneros]

Just as I said,he would sign on or before jan29...


Welcome back Pk,were a better team with you. Go habs go.

 

[HomaridII]

Great news. Good to have him back.

 

[Hoople]

You make it sound like signing a top young player is a feat...

This should have been done months ago. And he should have been signed to a long term deal. But whatever, I'll let everyone rejoice over a RFA signing like this wasn't supposed to happen.

Let it go.

No raining on the parade.

Bergevin is satisfied. PK is satisfied since he signed the contract.

Lets play some hockey with PK on the ice.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Great that he signed and I'm glad PK was willing to get ripped off to come play for us.

Hate the way management handled this and what should feel like a win really doesn't. Next contract he kills us.

Dave Stubbs ‏@Dave_Stubbs
2 years, $5.75 million isn't what Subban believes he's worth to #Habs. But now he'll play, be a teammate & show club what he's got

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle
One player agent on the Subban deal: "It's bizarre how low it is. Low term. Low dollars."


I hope bad blood wasn't created

 

[googlymoogly]

Emotional toddlers for the most part, I assume.

Bruin fans he's back and Markov is a notorious Bruin killer.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Good job by Bergevin.
