Until another defenseman hits 9M, I don't think it's reasonable to consider such a number. You know what? I'll bet you that 2 years from now he has exactly as many Norris trophies and nominations as he has right now. And he still won't be worth 13% of our cap, imo.
I don't know how we can bet that, you think that he's not worth 13% of our cap and that's completely a subjective point of view. I happen to think he IS worth that.
I don't think neither of us is wrong in having our opinion on the matter. So agree to disagree here.
But it has to happen within the next two years to suit your point, right? Cheaper but still "fair" would still have been "better" in the meantime.
Just like I finished responding to KrissE...pay him big now or later. It doesn't matter, Subban was going to get his payday regardless.
Well... this is where we just agree to disagree, and are unlikely to find middle ground if your benchmark for PK places his level of play and value at "moon".
Not sure what you mean here...perhaps you could elaborate, not being a jack ***. Just honestly don't know why you're saying that. Do you mean to tell me that Subban isn't in the same stratosphere are Shea Weber?
But, see, some people (including myself) don't even think he earned the highest cap hit among defensemen. And if paying people more than they're worth wasn't an issue in general, there wouldn't be an entire section of the CBA devoted to buyouts
Again, that's a matter of opinion and i'm NOT telling you you're wrong for thinking this way. I think he's earned, and then some, the highest cap hit among defenseman. Hence why I think what I think.
