Yup.
I'd make it an 8 year deal. Tack on 2 extra years at 5-5.5 and push back his UFA a little bit more

But as everyone keeps poitning out, if it's 6 years, it'll be more than $4M per.

I wouldn't commit 6 years to such an immature player...... If he shows up after he signs this contract with a spinning diamond Canadiens logo necklace........ you guys are (frank)ed.

Remember when Emery bought that Hummer with the 30" rims after his big pay day.... we all know how well that worked out for the Sens

just kidding

Never Happen But As an Oiler Fan what would it take to pry him outta montreal?

Paajarvi,2013 1st, & a Prospect (not in the Nhl)

For a Signed Subban for say 4.5Mil for the next 5-6 years? The reason I ask is obviously something is up with his negotiation and MTL depending how the finish could walk away with 2 great 1st rounders in a solid draft.

If we manage to sign him, then why would we trade him right after ? Habs D is their major weakness right now, they won't trade their top defenceman.

If that's the deal that gets done, I don't understand what took so long. That seems like a very reasonable deal from the teams standpoint. (frank), I'd give him whatever he wants after Saturday's power play

Cuz he wouldn't be signing with you It's a Deal for him as an RFA as opposed to signing him to and offer sheet since we are lacking the 3rd it would take in the pick package.. I'm just seeing what your feelings on his value are

Why is every young player getting resigned based on potential not on what he's accomplished??
This is what's wrong with the NHL.

Hit the nail on the head.

Wonder how many potential stars got a big payday and stopped budting their ass to be the best?

Sounds pretty reasonable, although I personally believe MPS is going tits up, but I understand a lot of people think the potential is still there.

But even though it's reasonable, I wouldn't do it.

I also agree, although I'd be willing to fork out money based on work ethic, if I think a kid has the drive to get it done. Skill is great, but if I were a GM (armchair GM I know) work ethic would be #1 on my list. Take people who are willing to do whatever it takes to be the best.

Kadri's a great example, he's always had the skill, but he had a poop attitude and work ethic around it for the longest time and he didn't get it done. He's starting to get his head straight now and it's showing.

Are these the same sources that told you Luongo would be moved within 48 hours, 48,000 hours ago?

First we had Lindros traded to two different teams in the 90's, now we have for the first time, a player being traded for himself. Luongo gets traded for Luongo. There's always a first for everything.
