By 'packing JVR with something to get another top 3', we'd have to be packaging him with the top pick we received from TO in the first place, if not more.

My biggest beef in it all of this is that PK is only proving his detractors right. He is selfish. I agree he should be paid what he's worth... but... he's asking for money for what he brings to the table off the ice... in other words his star power.
Well PK, I hate to break this to you, but the city of Montreal is what makes you a star. Montreal has been creating hockey personalities for a century and will continue to do so long after you leave. You personally have more financially to gain by staying in Montreal and signing endorsement than hmmm.. let's say... Columbus. Ask Rick Nash about that vacuum. If you were a rookie anywhere else than here or Toronto no one would know your name. You came here and shot your mouth off... constantly. The media in Montreal feeds on that and voila, you all of a sudden think your star power is worth extra dough.....It's not! Komisarek was a star here, a never-ending soap opera with Boston... last I checked he was rich and less than useless in Toronto.
If I'm Bergevin I want a serious team discount to sign PK to anything more than 2 years. PK clearly has off-ice issues that do not get rewarded with lucrative long-term deals. My offers:
2 years 4.5 per... prove your not a flash in the pan and that you've grown up.
5 years 25 million. That way if we have to move you it's not a killer contract that no one will touch.

something can always be worked out. I would give up plekanec and JVR for a top 3. we would also have our own 1st as well and a bunch of 2nds

Not sure what else can be said on this subject. We know have enough info to know what the Habs are really offering.
Now we just have to wait until Monday to see if PK is going to be willing to be ripped off to play for us. Sounds like the situation's at a breaking point. If he does demand a trade I shudder to think of reading through all the proposal threads that weill be coming in the coming weeks. I also doubt that we'll get anything close to equivalent value in return and this will set back our quest for the cup by years.
But yeah... let's not pay the man what he's worth.
The only solace I have is that if/when this happens, there will be threads ripping the crap out of our management's incompentence. At least there will be somewhere for me to vent. Once again, no excuse for this.

You can just imagine. If Bergevin really thinks his value would be 2.5million/year, what exactly does he think his value will be in a trade. Kadri+2nd?
Sure, why not.
I actually agree with your offers, specifically the second one. However, if Lavoie and Dregger are to be believed, MB's offers aren't anywhere near as lucrative as the ones you've described.

Name one off ice issue PK Subban has. Like a real off ice issue, not just the way you subjectively perceive him.
Well Dudley was in the Leafs management and they loved Kadri...Subban+2nd for Kadri.

The main job of a GM is to evaluate talent and compensate that talent accordingly. If MB did offer PK 2.5M and not budge from it, he really think PK is a 2.5M defenseman. I am very scare to think about the return for PK if MB decide to trade him.
Not necessarily. He just thinks that's the least he can get away with paying him. Somewhere below his minimax, I would think.

If PK announces he wants a trade, that proposal will be repeated ad naseum on the Leaf boards. It's their version of Ryder+Halak & a 2nd.
Seriously though, the whole idea of proposal threads for PK... just thinking of it has made my IQ drop a few points. And I didn't have that many to spare to begin with.
I'd pay him 6 mil rather than go through this ordeal. I wouldn't be happy about it but its better than the alternative. I have a hard time believing that he wouldn't take between 4.5-5.25. That's what we've heard in the news and it's been consistent from the beginning. And that's actually what he's worth so...
But that's only looking at one year, and also at the highest possible price.
I have no problem going with a 3.5M, but if that's the case, expect PK to ask for double the amount if his development follows the same pace. And in 2years, you'll be kicking yourself in the nuts saying how we could have had him for much cheaper two years ago. You'll be back with cap issues as Emelin, Diaz, PK. For the bigger question marks, you also have Eller who's cash will depend on his progression, no way of knowing yet. There's Markov as well, if healthy and keeps playing as he has, should get a similar amount as he has now. Next year, there's also DD that is playing this season for big bucks.
So, the cap hell you're fearing might actually happen in 2 years, and you want to give PK a huge raise during that time, where he'll likely ask more then than he is now.
Just a bad idea.
So, if I get this right, you want to give away PK Subban, Plekanec, JVR for a top 3 pick?? Are you on crack?

It looks like you like Dryden. You know that he sat out the 73(?) season because he felt that the Habs were not properly compensating him for his talents. Your diatribe is ironic, to say the least.

Actually could be yes.
Hey you know what? Maybe Kadri and a 2nd isn't all that bad... Let's make it happen!
You have not gotten it right. I stated that if toronto's pick was top 3 than I would certainly do the hypothetical deal of subban for jvr plus a 1st that was proposed by another poster. I than stated that I would than be willing to part with jvr and plekanec if it meant getting another top pick. The 2 players I would have in mind would be mackinnon and drouin. Plekanec, (still a great player btw) would become an overpayed 3rd liner in the not too distant future if we had mackinnon and galchenyuk as our 1-2. and yes I did indeed state that our first pick could be used to acquire a top 3 pick, not necessarily meaning it would be jvr Plekanec and our first, but if you think about it, all together, if we could subbtract from our lineup right now: PK subban tomas plekanec and our 1st for Johnathan Drouin and Nathan Mackinnon...it would have to be considered, and I think I would be willing to do it.
It's already 22 pages and quite a few threads too much since it's the same crap that keeps getting mentionned.
again..all just hypothetical...as so much of the stuff on this website is...don't take things so seriously man.
