let me ask you guys something:

If Subban was asking for five years at five M, is that unreasonable?

- EricEngels


Yes.

So, your saying he's worth 4/per?

That's quite a lot for his numbers, no?

He hasn't done enough to warrant a long term deal just yet.

What are you talking about?

I just said his closest comparable is Carlsson. Look over the numbers.

He deserves nothing less than what Carlsson got.

Because so far, I believe he's been more flashy than good.

not unreasonable but more than he should get.
Also, I'd offer 3 or less or 8 years, definitely not 4 or 5

No no, not at all.

It's down right ludicrous.

Ya didn't see the 5 mill only saw 5 years...but 5 years for 4 is reasonable.

exactly. his offense is good enough for that but he's hardly polished his game yet. Doughty was a runner up for the norris no? PK may have the offense but not the overall game.

Jesus, the kid has eaten minutes up, put up points and played solid solid hockey. He's a solid 2-3 guy with the potential to improve...but because he wears a zoot suit and a fedora he's all flash?

no, because he lead the league in minor penalties and is hardly refined.

as i said, no where near the all around player Doughty is. (I meant his offense is good enough for the $5M contract)

You cant give him too much too long. It would send the wrong message in the dressing room.
