Eric Engels: Eller Extended. Bourque's Opportunity. Subban Terms?

hi.

I don't think Subban will get 6 years...it will come down to a 2 years for 6-7 M$ (3-3.5M$ cap hit) contract in my opinion

Good deal for Eller. Hopefully he'll get some time on the powerplay to prove himself this year.

What if the Habs give Subban the same deal they gave Gorges? Would that be fair?

Gotta save cap space for Pateryn, AMIRIGHT?

You forgot the part where Mr. Stubbs said that it is NOT a 6 yr term.

But still, if they can agree on a 6-year, 4.5M per, he'll be a bargain in 2 years.

Regarding Bourque, seems the new management is willing to give everyone a fair chance to prove themselves, hopefully he gets it and Therrien will be able to make him produce.

Are you wearing a flat jacket under the other jacket?

The best part of Darche's absence is that someone else has to play PP.

He'll be injuried after 3 games

1. i don't see Eller ever becoming more than a 15-goal, 20-assist guy (with an exceptional year now and then where he hits 20-30) . i just don't see it in his game. but for a third-line centre, that's more than adequate production.

2. Bourque had a reputation as an aloof, distant player in Calagary. i don't recall many Flames fans sad to see him go. it would be nice to see him back in 50-point form, but if this team is depending on that, they're in trouble.

3. PK is like a 12-year-old's Richard. he's on the verge of exploding. don't see him getting complacent. anything less than 6 years for him is utterly retarded. Bergevin seems to have enough foresight to make the right call.

Unlike last year with Gauthier and Price, I have absolutely no worries that Subban won't get signed. I say give Subban a 4 or 5 year contract at $4mil per.

Really do not understand the issue with Bourque. In the past 4 years (Montreal not included) he either scored or was on pace to score 27-29 goals a season.

In Mtl however away from his family, in a new city, on a team with dysfunctional management he did not maintain this pace. Shocking.

Plekanec, Price, Subban at the begining of the season, Gionta, Gomez, all had poor seasons......

let's just wait to see what happens. I'm willing to be Bourque returns to his 25-29 goals and makes all the fan eat crow

I think it stopped being flat when he put it on.
