Im concerned. I think all the players that filed reached a deal before their actual hearing right?
It's just frustrating that we intentionally let players walk or traded them to prevent situations like this, yet here we are. We have absolutely zero cap issues. Even at $6m AAV, he'll be below the MacK cap, we'll still have over $18m in cap space next summer, and we would have a 50+ point defenseman locked up. I get it, I get it... Newport are reincarnated devils, but suck it up and get a deal done. We're in a spot where almost every other team would gladly pay our guy what he's seeking, but we... you know, the non-playoff team... continuously snub our noses and think it's an overpayment. It just might be, but guess what? We're not good! We're not a desirable organization to play for! We don't win! We have an all-star, premier offensive defenseman under our nose, will be swimming in cap space, but we'd prefer to pinch pennies. Yeah, it makes a lot more sense to give Tyutins, Gelinas', and others $2m a year... damnit, I want to smash my head against a wall sometimes.

OK, but he's asking 6M for RFA years. Can the Avs really sign him long term for 6M AAV?
Most. I think 3 players went through with it last year.
I'd like someone to say either way what's happening. Isn't anyone awake in Toronto?

Yes.
Short answer...
How do you figure he's asking 6M for RFA years, and won't be asking considerably more for UFA years.
Maybe every one is just sitting at home because they actually came to an agreement weeks ago, but Sakic forgot to send it in to the league and we are all freaking out for nothing?

Weren't there people live tweeting outside the door of Subban's hearing? I get PK > Tyson and Montreal >>>> Colorado but Barrie isn't a small name and for the amount of yammering that's been going on all summer I'd think one person would at least tweet the hearing started. Maybe the Edmonton media will get around to it since he's practically an oiler anyway.
