yeah. that's how that went down.

People, please realize that this is for an RFA 1 year contract and not long term. The real negotiations are being done for a long-term contract (which included 2 RFA years and a max of 6 UFA years). If the Habs sign him long term, Habs are definitely offering more that the 5M. A final deal would look more like "the first 2 years (RFA years) will be around 6.5 the the last 6 years will be ranging from 8.5 to 13.5. Making the AAV for 8 years between 8 and 9 million"

No panic needed

Saying PK is better than Chara right now based on one playoffs. (i.e. what we were just talking about )

Based on that, McDonagh is better than Subban.

I bet if you had 30 GM's pick....it would be pretty close.

Hilarious that a blog is written saying Subban is looking for $8,.5 million a year......fallacy. Show me one place where Subban's camp said they are looking for $8.5 million a year?

What has been reported is that Subban is looking to make $8.5 next year on a 1 year deal. Very different.

Nowhere has anyone reported what Subban is asking for on a 2 year or 4 year or even 8 year deal. What he is saying is that next year on a one year deal I want to be the highest paid D-men in the league making $800k more than Shea Weber.

So if he thinks he should be making almost $1 million more than any D man next year then what do you think his price is on a long term. My guess is somewhere around $80-85 million over 8 years.

I'm sorry but no.

Settling for arbitration is a completely different game. He knows he won't get 8,5M$ on arbitration and off course, MB knows it won't be 5,25M$ either.

Look at Eller's negociation. Was asking for 3.1M$ and MB was offering 1,65M$ for 1 year. The 2 RFA years have been settle for 2,5M$ each, which is the average between there numbers.

PK would make approximately 7M$ on arbitration for 1 year or 2. Both sides know this.

What is known is they both want 8 yaers and the first 2 years will be 7M$ a year. The balance of the contract is still a guess both logically, it will probably start at 9 and end at 11-12M$ a year.

So it will be about 8 years for 72-76 M$

well he is, no question

They're very tough to compare... having a completely different game.

This being said, I'll give you that it's debatable either way.

Well then, Price is better than Lundqvist, "no question"

Just for you....
"We do this to them quite often in the playoffs. Just ask Don Cherry... "

In my comment above, pray tell where I mention either Chara or Subban? Now get some rest, you need it.

honestly, I saw a player huffing and puffing the entire conference final in Subban, and besides being world's better defensively than Subban, McDonagh also added 10 points in 6 games.

I bet if you had 30 GM's pick....it would be pretty close.

OMG he's saying based on one bad playoff!!
