Del Zotto should be comparable. He'd fetch more on the open market though and likely took a cut in pay or term to stick with what should be a contender to win it all. Subban has MTL over a barrel to a degree although how much of that is his agent or him I don't know. I suspect he'll come in around 3.5-4/ 4.

Agreed Subban has more leverage over the team than Del Zotto but that won't justify paying him double what he's making.

Leverage or not Del Zotto could have had more somewhere else.

Yeah, he wouldn't be caught dead to have one of his posts within a 5-page radius of mine.

Maybe, but as an RFA, I doubt a team would give him an offer sheet.

As for Subban, he might me the habs #1 D (which shows how much our D sucks) and can use other dmen for comparables but there are also internal comparables and for the habs, it's Carey Price.

Nobody deserves to get paid more than Price right now and Price had a 2 year 5.5M second deal.

Subban does not deserve more.

Price was coming off a season where his numbers sucked and he was a backup. Slightly different.

Subban still makes a lot of bonehead plays, takes bad penalties, creates turnovers, has a questionable attitude/team spirit and takes foooooreeeeeeeeveeeeeeeeer to wind up that slapper.

edit : Also, Price had a ton of leverage because Halak had already been traded away.

wow.... nice racist jab.


I don't know what century you think we're in but this stuff doesn't fly around here anymore.

people like you sicken me. you're just jealous that a black man has succeeded in a traditionally white environment while you sit at home chatting about it with your internet friends.

maybe you should look in the mirror if judge others by the color and odor of their skin.
