A good benchmark for Subban is John Carlson 3.9M. Subban doesn't have the number to be paid like a superstar.

The habs need two other years to really know what Subban can really bring to this team.

I love how everyone thinks Subban is worth Yakupov or Hall or Couturier+ but no one wants to pay him more than 4-5M. Seriously either he is worth a Couturier potential player (which means you don't offer him 2.75M a year, you give him 5+M) or he is only worth 4M or less and you trade him for something more realistic.

You cannot refuse to "overpay" by giving him 6M and then ask teams for their best player and then some in a trade. It is time to get real people, if he is that valuable then give him an 8 year 48M and be happy you have a "franchise level" talent.

I haven't seen anyone (other than Ek) say he's worth that?

He's got a solid bit of cred relative to the length of his NHL career, but that's definitely not what he was saying. As for Subban, he definitely hasn't proven he's worth Drew Doughty money. Especially in a league where cap dollars are set to become more scarce.

An extremely overrated D-man who wouldn't be discussed nearly enough if he played for Carolina.
Reminds me of the Phaneuf hype, but with less of a resume after 3 yrs.

Wasn't that what people were valuing him at the draft? Subban for 1st overall! Read that everywhere

It really depends on how many of his organs you want to harvest and in which country you sell them. Assuming he has the full compliment of 2 kidneys, 2 lungs, and a liver. I think we should explore the European market. Do any of you have a sharp knife and sufficient knowledge to safely extract the organ? PM if you do. *Keep it quiet.

"The way that Couturier, as a rookie no less, basically shut down Evgeni Malkin in the playoffs last year has many teams around the NHL seeing Selke Trophies in his not-too-distant future."


Malkin had 8 points in 6 games..... Not sure how you considered that as being "shut down".

I don't know if I would go as far as saying that but for a rookie to come into the NHL and be able to shutdown the likes of Malkin, I would be considering him to be a potential key piece to the Flyers organization, especially since Pits and Phi are in the same division.
