Yes.So he should get more than Weber, Doughty, Bouwmeester, Suter, Chara.
He should get 20+% more than Pietrangelo, Keith and Karlsson.
According to many on this board, PK should be paid more than any D-men in the league.
And this is because...
Regarding the Norris, I would say it will be between Keith and Karlsson and most likely Karlsson will win.
- SCap is going up;
- SCap is going to be a little bit more than in 2012;
- PK has won the Norris and will be nominated this year;
- PK is already the best D-men in the league and should be paid accordingly;
Subban should not even be in the top-5. Probably in the top-10...
He is a very good d-men but there are a few in the pipeline that are younger than him:
- Jones;
- Murray;
- OEL;
- Pietrangelo.
So should PK get 8M and be the best paid d-men in the league?
His numbers are as good or better than anyone's and he's got the good fortune to be negotiating now that the cap is going up. So yes, he should be paid the most. Then in a couple of years some other blueliner will negotiate when the cap is up higher and they'll make more etc...
And I wouldn't be surprised to see him making more than 8 actually. Esp considering how we ripped him off last time around.
