Didn't know where to stick this... how are these guys 'comparables' to Subban?

That's an extremely good question.

 

[bustaheims]

Because he's rapidly becoming one of the most over-rated players in the league?

If almost 40 pts a year from a damn is worth over 5 million a year, oy!

D P.K. Subban             81 7 29 36 9 119 $6.0 MIL ?? 

After Glen Sather has given out foolish contracts to players forever he seems to be getting good value.  Like Armstrong in St Louis.  How people feel Subban could demand star money coming of a 3 year ELC to me is nuts.  The GMs need to use the CBA system of arbitration to their advantage like Sather.

?He?ll come to his senses,? Sather said. ?We?ve been down this road before with guys that just have come out of their entry-level contracts. We?ve offered him a fair contract. We just have to see if it changes in the new CBA.?

Del Zotto wants a big pay raise after his stellar year last season, posting 10 goals, 31 assists, a plus-20 in the regular season......The Rangers have offered Del Zotto a deal in the range of $2.2-2.5 million per year and it was turned down.

As you can see above, Del Zotto signed for the $2.55 x 2 yrs. He did the same with Staal and Girardi coming off their ELCs.  Way to go Sather!!

I think Subban is of the mindset he should be paid closer to Karlsson and Doughty than he should be the guys listed above.  He's a fine player, and I'd love to have him on the Leafs, but I couldn't justify $5-6M for him at this point.  To be honest, I thought even the second contract a guy like Doughty got was extreme.

THANK YOU.

By all the talk and hype about what contract he should get I was starting to think I was the only one who felt this way. 

I just don't see it. Talent? Sure.  Ability to pull it together? Not seeing it.

Don't get me wrong - Subban is still a very good player, it's just that I think he's more of a very good #2/#3 dman. He also seems like a bit of a headcase and/or a loose cannon. If he and his agent are asking for Doughty/Karlsson type dollars, they're out of their gourds.

That's why I'm hoping Habs get off to a terrible start and the fans start calling for the GM to sign Subban to "save" the season.  Make a huge mistake with the contract, things are good for me.

Bravo Marc Bergevin!

He caved by the looks of it.

Anyone catch the Montreal player reaction interviews about how they feel about Subban?

Reminds me of when Kessel came back from cancer when he was with the Bruins. Pretty chilly reception for a guy who had cancer.
