In your opinion.

In pretty much any observant hockey fan's opinion, too.

If he signed for 2 years I have to assume it was for significant dollars.

is this just mere speculation?

I would guess in the 4.5 to 5 range.

Top dmen with that speed and talent should bring back a massive return no?
- Flyersgod

Absolutely. Should a team overpay so massively that trading for said defenseman turns out to be robbing Peter to pay Paul? No.

Subban is a talented young defenseman. But he's not Weber or Chara, and that's likely what Montreal was asking-if, indeed they even entertained offers in the first place.

It's real possible teams called up and were told, don't bother, we're not trading him.

The reports leaking out say that he ended up with a Del Zotto type deal.

Yes.

Really? Didn't DelZotto only get like 2.5?

Ren Lavioe of RDS was the first I saw, which is usually the case with the Habs

Glad its over...

Now.. waive Leighton and bring up Bouch.

- PLindbergh31

Yep.

Contract details for PK Subban deal: 2million in year 1 & 3.75 in year 2.

Jesus, Bergevin bent PK over a trash can...this will be interesting to watch. Wonder if PK remembers the tough negotiations when this deal is up

Really? Didn't DelZotto only get like 2.5?
- PLindbergh31

so PK bent over for MTL....i dont believe that

that seems low, no?

Yep.
- Jsaquella

That surprises me. Why would Subban agree to those terms? Makes the holdout look silly now. If that was the number that could have been agreed upon long ago.

- PLindbergh31

That'll shock me if he signed for that. What was the reason for the holdout if that's the case? If this is the term can you imagine how low the "insulting" offer was?

at $2.5MM the Flyers sure could have used him

that seems low, no?
- LJF

For a #1 dman on almost every team in the league? Yes.

at $2.5MM the Flyers sure could have used him
- LJF

3.75 followed by 2.875

at $2.5MM the Flyers sure could have used him
- LJF

The cap hit will be $2.87mm. Peanuts.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie

So P.K. Subban re-ups with MTL, two years, $2M in Year 1 and $3.75M in Year 2 for $2.875M AAV.

The cap hit will be $2.87mm. Peanuts.
- Jsaquella

really that's low, what was the hold up

really that's low, what was the hold up

Zero idea. Holding out for that seems like a really dumb idea.
