You think that if they go to arbitration they will eventually sign him to a long term deal?

Then why not get it done now. If they can't agree now, there is a disaccord somewhere.

If they believe he is a franchise player, then you lock him up.

PKs' agent wants to make sure he's milking every possible penny and Bergevin needs to think long term for the good of the team.

He'll sign for 1 year and work a deal during the season.

Almost every player that has gone to arbitration has been traded eventually.

It's possible, but PK can sign another one year deal next year an really go for the jackpot after that. Why should Bergevin take that risk if he believes he is a franchise player. Unless he is asking for more than Toews, they can't be that far apart. The risk is too high.

What if all PK wants, is to be UFA 2 years down the road and leave Montreal?

If the Habs actually try to make a case that he is not worth $8 mil, yes, the line will be drawn.

You can say that about almost every player in the league though, not just those who have gone to arbitration...

Then Bergevin HAS to trade him. But from everything being said in media, this sure does not seem to be the case.

Then he will be traded before he reaches UFA. That is why I said he is as good as gone. But I don't believe he wants to leave.

Yes and Bergevin should know through this negotiation process. I still believe it gets done just before 9:00

If this goes to arbitration, I don't think the word respect will be thrown around much by either side.

Just over an hour to the meeting for PK ??

8 years, 76 million. That's my prediction and it will be announced at the last possible minute.

Oh it will.... It will!
- Pecafan Fan

I agree, it will be brought up more in the meeting. This will be interesting.

Hopefully when they all get to the hearing Subban's agent will tell Bergevin "Last chance give me your best offer or its going to be 1 year" and he will sign lol
