Eklund: A Simple Question: Whose Side Are You On?

I like to play devils advocate.

I don't play games, "Devils Advocate" or the "What If" card. Simply put,Subban should say I'm done playing here! He took a great contract for Montreal last time and how do they reward him, LOW BALLING? Stay classy Montreal

I'm more inclined to back Subban than The team at this point, but no one really knows what contract offers have been exchanged between the two sides. So saying they've lowball'd him doesn't hold much water until there are some official numbers out from credible sources

There are official numbers, it's already been stated in the arbitration hearing that Montreal only wants to pay 5.25 million to Subban

... for one year of restricted free agency.

Some yesterday said it perfectly;

If bergevin only cares about getting pk as cheap as possible for the next 2 years, hes playing this perfectly.
If he cares about affecting his long term decision to stay with the habs, hes playing this terribly

Guessing most teams aside from Montreal would be willing to hand this guy a max deal should they have the cap space to do so.

I'm on the owners side... lock those greedy mofos out

Those are arbitration numbers for a 1 year contract knowing arbitration almost always split half way. The real numbers for a long term deal are not known.

The Habs ran Roy out of town, were close to running Price out of town....and now - the handling of the Subban situation? Get it together, Montreal!

Bergevin also gave a torn acl/mcl Emelin a 4.1 4 yr extension without seeing him play a game again.....

You are very stupi.... finish the word if you can ....

5,25 mil was for a contract for ONE YEAR .... Look at Eller's contract ... he got more for more years .... Subban was supposed to be asking above 10 millions a season for a contract of 8 years ...

Nothing is was done to Subban except making him understand that he is part of a team .... many of his mistakes were saved by his good buddy Carey this season.

I'm sorry but Subban is not a Weber or a Doughty .... 50+ pts and still finish in the - this year ... Lots of work to do for him next season.

Furthermore, Subban does not deserve a contract like Toews or Kane or Crosby or Malkin ... because all of them actually helped there team win a Stanley cup.

Congrats he was a Norris trophy winner ... I want to see more of him before letting him make 9 millions a season ... and why not use what the league gives to teams and allow him to play one last season in MTL before opening the bank.

If I do understand the contract he will have is that he is still a RFA next year and so is still a habs for at least another season or two after this one.

If he still wants too much and is acting like a little spoiled brat (by asking way to much again) ... then i'm sure a team will like to give the world for him ... and even more.

So as a hockey fan ... I want to tell the vultures of other team that are fast criticizing other team to look at your own before maing any comments.

PK. He took the bridge contract, he performed. What else can he do? He play their game not its time for Montreal to play his.

The side that doesn't see Subban in a Flyers jersey in the next two years.

Yep. If they wanted to see "more" and weren't convinced, there would not have been 8 year offers on the table.

Habs are playing with fire. People on tsn forum compare pks demands to current contracts which makes no sense because every year contracts get higher and higher.

I feel like 8 x 8 with a limited no trade clause of some type should be a simple compromise. PK leaves money on the table and Habs get a small bargain.

Another thought is Habs want these back to back one year deals so they can get 10years instead of 8.

That's a gamble because mid 30s Canberra tough on a player.

David Clarkson to all of this!

No one ever said Nonis was smart either. But he now has competition for the Potato of the Year award!
