After one of the best opening days in 10 years Pete, do you think that the cap will continue to go down after next year? Also bare in mind I said 4 mill. per. - Pie
Probably go up I think.
I say he's worth 3, so let's meet in the middle at 3.1, ok?
So the logic here is, because the other defensemen on the habs suck, Subban should get 6 million a year? - Pecafan Fan
actually it's the exact opposite. even if the other Habs defencemen were good, PK would still be playing more than 25 minutes a game against the opposition's top line because hed likely still be our best or second best dman.
the habs looked to me like the same old, same old. first they parade out the old guard, reminding us all of the pride and glory days of this franchise. then the players come out with a lacklustre performance. it was last season all over again. no cohesion, soft on the puck, uninspired. on the other hand, toronto looked faster than us, was more aggressive, outhit us and were far more threatening on offense. if not for price, the score would have been ugly.
yes, it was only the 1st game and yes, there was likely rust on alot of the habs players. but that game served as a reminder of the awful taste they left on all of us last year. it was dull, boring hockey.

but because he's younger and despite being better than many of them, surely we can't give him more money....it all adds up in some ppl's heads though
even out of the non highlighted players there's only about a handfull that are better than Subban ALLROUND, the other ones can't be compared because they either specialize in Offense or Defence only, but we arent willing to give a guy who's proven he can do both pretty damn well and has the advantage of being younger?
ok feel free to attack,but at the end of the day i'm a big Habs fan and i'll always voice my opinion on these things whether anyone cares, agrees, disagrees, thinks im an idiot blah blah blah
