i hope so. i cannot imagine that Bergevin would risk losing the player rather than paying him 10-20% more than he'd like to. but the one thing i question is whether PK wants a long term deal. would it shock anyone if he wants 2 years?
- Gary_B.

nope. if I were him or his agent, unless the habs back up the money truck with near max and a massive signing bonus like Toews/Kane I'd go short term and wait for them as a UFA.

he has every right to do so too that's exactly what Bergevin himself advised him to do when he muscled him into that bridge deal.

unbelievable

I love how he starts by saying DT is an attention whore... only to go on and ... and... well you know.

yeah pretty much. and if that's the case, and there's a pretty good chance you lose him in 2 years as a UFA, then what do you do?

Well it makes sense if you take into consideration that Therrien is a terrible coach who Subban despises, which means Subban wants out.

IN COMES LETANG!!!!

would imagine they trade him at some point in year 1 of that deal.

if they do, then for all the talk of Bergevin begin a great GM it will have gone down as one of the prime examples of a team painting itself into a corner.

We aren't trading him anytime soon.

The process of going to Arb. is very normal at this stage.

He'll be getting the big bucks for a long time and we'll be happy about it.

Then trade Subban for Hall

He'll go the Shea Weber route. Go to Arbitration this year, then sign an offer sheet with the Flyers next year which MB will match....

im just not the biggest fan of Letang. maybe he'll put up more points than PK but PK is rounding into the type of 200-foot player i don't think Letang is.

I don't think there's much of a comparison. Subban is younger, bigger and plays a more complete game not to mention he's managed to stay healthy.

Letang is a great add to a contending team and a top offensive d-man for sure but PK has the makings of a franchise player.
