Is anyone besides me sort of happy that the Habs management is extremely screwing up when it comes to Subban?

As I said a few posts ago
Schadenfreude move has been activated and is buzzing along nicely
Who's cheap now Montreal?
I'm happy whenever anything goes badly for the Habs.
I also like fueling the fire for Leafs fans that he's only doing this to get a short term contract and bolt to TO in 2 years with Stamkos

probably all get forgotten when deal gets done and this won't be anything significant.

None of the insiders are convinced things are going very well between Subban and Montreal
I wasn't thinking things could go south but I'm not of that mind anymore

P.K. Subban says no deal was reached today. Arbitrator will decide his contract for next season. "We have to live with those decisions."
@reporterchris
Subban: "It's been an educational process for me."
@reporterchris
Don Meehan tells Sportsnet that there are no plans to continue negotiating a long-term deal for Subban before the arbitrator's award.
@reporterchris
Marc Bergevin: "I have nothing to say."
@reporterchris
There is obviously time for cooler heads to prevail but none of the principles left the Subban hearing in good spirits.

You'd have to think it'd be north of 7M. PK should have asked for 9M, he might have got 8M. I'm guessing it ends up 7.25M.
Subban would need to be paid 7.95M per year on a 5 year deal to match Karlsson's deal. Once you factor in the deferred salary and cap increase I could see him getting 8.5M.

AFAIK, there aren't any.
At least, a cursory glance at the CBA doesn't reveal any, to my eyes.

Yeah, no matter what happens now, Subban is getting the hell out of there ASAP. And, I seriously doubt that daddy still has a major allegiance to the Habs after what they've been doing to his son.
At least the Sens aren't the biggest screwup of the summer anymore.

Habs board is at DEFCON 1, especially considering it's summer and just hitting the end of the Quebec construction holiday / long weekend in most of rest of Canada.
The way Bergevin has treated Subban is ridiculous. If we had done that with Karlsson everyone would be ridiculing us and calling us a joke of a franchise.

Subban is very inconsistent as a player and that's why Montreal is playing hardball
He wasn't much of a factor against Tampa, was out of this world against Boston and was pretty bad against the Rangers; his regular season was very up-and-down as well.
His highs are incredible and his lows aren't that bad but if he wants a long term, high paying deal he's got ways to go in terms of what he needs to prove to Montreal
It's going to be an interesting weekend

You know what's really great? Montreal is going to get seriously bent over when they trade Subban. He's only going to be on a 1-year contract, and then a UFA, so teams aren't going to throw huge offers Montreal's way.

I doubt this. Subban's worth every penny he asks for. Montreal has no excuse not to spend to the cap. Pay the man his money! He won the Norris - whether you agree or disagree with his style of play. He's consistently their best player on the ice. He's young. He has no history of injury. They lowballed him last time and gave him a "show me you're worth it" contract.
People complain that he's not worth 8+ million.. you all realize the max contract in the NHL today is approx $14mil/year? The money is there.
He showed them he's worth it, and they still don't want to pay him?
Deep down we all love that he's likely signing a short term deal and bolting when he's eligible for free agency... but there's no way he goes anywhere but Toronto when that happens. I don't know why, but he's the one guy that I think would actually want to play there in his prime - and we know Toronto has no problems with overspending.

I see it's spilled over to the Trades board. The crazed trade proposals to Edmonton have begun.

I thought at least in the old CBA there was something about a team not being able to trade the player for a year in arbitration awards, but could be confusing things.
I honestly can't see Subban being awarded much higher than 7 considering he's still an RFA, and the only 7M+ contracts for defenseman are all long term deals that were signed either as a UFA or an RFA that goes into UFA years.
Plus he wasn't top 3 Norris this year, and his one Norris came from a half season with no real healthy competition.
He really should be in the 6.5-7 range especially for a short deal, I could see going 7.5 if it was max length.
