it took a lot of work to make those deals happen, I'm glad someone appreciated it

so real question here - lets say Habs decide to trade Subban. Whats a realistic return?

High end player, high end prospect and a 1st. Would be my guess

So one high end player gets a return of another high end player, high end prospect and a 1st....seems quite steep

I'm confused. Then why are they proposing a mid level salary at arbitration?

Well there's variations of 'high end'. Subban is towards the higher end of that category.

I used the term to describe the player because it's not going to be some 15-20 goal scorer 2nd-3rd line guy.

Sign him to the lowest contract possible and then trade him for someones farm. This guy obviously knows all the right things to say when he's trying to get a 68 million dollar payday, but he's full of sh*t when he talks about his passion for playing for the Habs for his career. He'd sign an 8 year deal and demand a trade two years into it if he bumps heads with a coach. If you really are passionate about winning a cup with your team, then don't swallow up 8 million dollars worth of cap. As much as I hated watching my team play against the Red Wings, I respectes the hell out of the fact that they took a reduced contract to help build the team around them.

Only very slightly seriously but very, very funny situation.

it doesn't matter who the leafs sign or trade for, they'll never be able to get a better 1st line center than Bozak

Can't trade for something that doesn't exsist

it could be a lot worse. You could be a Jets fan. Or an Islanders fan.
