MB is just making it worse by dragging this out...
The longer he waits, the harder it is for him to cave bc it sends bad message to others that if u play hardball, he'll cave.
For subban, with the lockout prep, he was already getting comfortable with the idea of no hockey this year... Think Meehan will let him give in now? Doubt it.
Habs have way more to lose, no subban this year hurts us, & subban can go play in Europe (I'm sure his khl offers are substantial) to get "playing" again... Can the habs really afford to let his value slip away just to prove a point?
Just suck it up, get the 6 year deal signed, and star spinning the positive PR already
I kind of like to perceive this as though PK Subban was an unrestricted free agent.
There's a guy, right now, who can slide into the Canadiens top four defensively and already has experience with most of the team. He comes at no loss of picks, players or prospects and wants to sign long term. He's under 25, he can play 20+ minutes a game, he has positive post-season experience and most people said when he put up 30+ points that it was under his expected production.
And Marc Bergevin won't sign him.
