I think this PK situation is going to get ugly.I don't see him wanting to be there after this.

arbitration is never a good route. Basically the team telling the arbitrator all the reasons that a player is not worth more money. I bet PK is looking for Weber like money. He signed their poopty "bridge" deal, won a Norris and lead the team to the ECF, I'd say he held up his end of the bargain.

Yeah it is a slap in the face. The player knows it's business, but it is still a slap. Everyone knows PK is an eight million dollar man ,everyone except the Habs mgmt.

So Leafs in two years according to them will have Kane Subban Stamkos Kesslel Nylander (who is now the best pick since the draft started) and McDavid.

The whole dynamic is messed up. PK seems to be the model player the last couple years, saying the right things. Habs coach and management have come across a few times as loath to give a compliment.

He is a great offensive player, still needs to work on defense in own zone.

Dynamic players like him are hard to come by, just a weird face that organization puts on when dealing with the whole situation.

I bet he wants more than $8... I'm thinking he is looking for more like $70m over 8 years.

His asking price was really reasonable too, can't believe they countered with less than 6...

Nope we still have Stamkos as our back up plan.... oh and Morgan Reilly is better then subban .

In the glorious words of Mr. Darren Pang " he does it the white way". Poor guy felt so bad when he said that by accident never really feel bad for TV guys but I did for him.

Yeah he's the one flying past everyone..... then gives up the puck

I don't think this is bad deal for Montreal in the long run but Marc B has some odd negotiating skills

I am just saying that a GM's job is to negotiate down, NOT UP. Bergevin just pulled a Gillis type of idiotic mistake.

Bergevin "he is worth 5.5 million"

Pk "I am worth 8.25 million"

Bergevin "Ok he is contract for 9 million"

Just doesn't make any sense
