Let me ask it differently then.

If he only signs a short deal,,,,, Does he sign another deal with the Habs ?

if he signs for 2 yrs, does he get moved before his next deal. ?

2 years will never happen. Arbitration is 1 and if that happens, I wouldn't be surprised if a trade happened near the draft next summer. Might not, but that would be my guess.

Subban’s camp is believed to be looking at between $7.5 million and $8 million, per year, on a long-term contract.

Both parties appear set on a long-term commitment — seven or eight years, a source confirmed — but the barrier currently revolves around Subban’s annual salary.”

They could agree on a two year deal.

I think it's a fair deal.

So he's being reasonable, and the Habs are not?

Source? Because last I heard, Bergevin's offer was at 8.75 per over 8...

Sounds like that want it 6.5 - 7 range?

If That happens then Bergevin should be fired on the spot.

can't see that being true. Look at that arb number.

Arbitration number says that Subban wants 8.5 as RFA which means he wants more as UfA (anything over 2 years)

Sounds like that want it 6.5 - 7 range?
- AGalchenyuk27

The arb number was just that - an arb number. I am sure they realize that for long term, they need to be near $8M.

from the 4th period:
” The Canadiens filed a one-year, $5.25 million offer through arbitration, while Subban’s camp is asking for $8.5 million.
While though numbers have been strategically presented in the event the two sides cannot agree to a deal and arbitration is the last resort, it’s believed the Canadiens are hoping to sign Subban to a long-term deal worth between $6.5 million to $7 million, per season.

can't see that being true. Look at that arb number.

But that's on a 1 year deal. When you start buying those UFA years the number goes up.

he said the Habs have offered 8.75 over 8. If I am PK I jump at that.

Subban is holding at 9.5. Notice how neither side is shooting arrows just yet? It will come down to the wire. Bergevin trying to hold out to meet at 9, Meehan holding out hoping to meet at 9.25... Just a matter of who blinks first (if the scenario I'm describing is actually what is going on)

It would make him the highest paid dman in the league wouldn't it ?

Anything less than 8 million a year is a steal. Look at the contracts being handed out this year. Orpik, niskinen, Andy Greene yesterday at over 5 mill a year. Plus the fact he has been underpaid for the last 4 years
