Save this forum topic for future reference, in exactly 3 years from now, the entire city will be rioting to trade him. You'll see
what I will SEE, is the Habs winning that 25th Stanley Cup and Subban the first Black Jesus on Quebec.

safer to bet on this fanbase to turn on one of it's own.
anyway, why would Subban downgrade to Jesus level status when he's already a god ?

I expect this to happen next year. He was getting raked over the coals when he was the leading scorer making pennies. Now? The lynch mob will be far less tolerant and even more ridiculous.

pretty much.
and to think that two years ago there was people arguing MB would be dumb not give PK the rumored 5 years deal (making him a UFA at 28).
Glad we have a dumb GM

Don't get all of this...
$5.25mil (Bergevin's camp) ...... VS.......$8.5mil (Subban's camp).
Wasn't it supposed to be close to the middle of the above?
(what the **** was the arbitration for if Bergevin finally gave 9mil/year????????????????????????). I'm SUPER happy it's all over, but still don't get what the waiting was all about????? Torture??
Bergevin is in it to raise the blood pressure of most HAB fans.
(right or wrong...so many Hab fans were so pissed off in last few days, incl. me.........not good for blood pressure....... Bergevin
).
Didn't need to go this far...%^&*#$%^#$.
(was Subban asking for 10mil/year? 11mil/year?).
****ng Bergevin.
(was probably pressured bv Molson ''enough is enough...sign our best player already or GTFO'').
Signs Emelin...way too soon.
Signs DD...way too soon.
Signs Markov...by default.
Signs Eller...last second (and more than he was asking???).
Takes his time (each time) with Subban...****ing torture.
(low-balled our best player last time, and wasn't sure what he was trying to do this time...more low-balling? paid more than 8.5?? wasn't Subban asking 8.5 and not more?? I betcha Molson came in to the rescue...pushed Bergevin aside and did what needed to be done...once and for all).
****ING HUMBLE PIE:
Hab fans pay Bergevin's salary...Bergevin would be nothing but bird droppings without Hab fans. So why so much disrespect to Hab fans???? Less torture, more respect.

8.5 million from Subban's camp was for a 1 year contract. Subban is getting 7 million in the first year so they did meet in the middle of 5.25 and 8.5.
I think you are speculating way too much about Bergevin. You don't know what happened behind the scenes during the negotiations, nobody does. He has done a very good job, taking the team to the playoffs twice in two years, even reaching the ECF. Take a chill pill and enjoy the show.

But I thought Bergie was a visionary, moneyball genius? PK got signed, which I'm happy about, but I have no idea why we had to go through all of this for a $9M deal. We're lucky PK didn't take things personally. I wouldn't blame him. From the bridge deal/lowball to this, I'd say MB was trying his best to get him out of town.
Softball deals to lesser players but play hardball with stars only to get bent over after going to arbitration? I wouldn't be surprised if someone (Molson?) put pressure on MB to get a deal done because none of this makes sense.
Holly Ninja. When did I say anything about Subban or Meehan being right and MB being wrong?
I will give you the prototype of Internet discussion board discussion, this is also the reason I will avoid any debate with my ex BPD girl friend.
Me: Here's a though on this subject...
You: Wrong, here's a reason...
Me: Okay but what you've just said has nothing to do with my though on this subject. What I said was...
You: But we don't know it's true, it could be anything...
Me: It was a though based on certain things...
You: It could be this and that too, we don't know...
Me: Of course we don't know, it was intelligent guesses. Here's another reason why...
You: Yeah...but you're said this which is not true, this could be anything, here's another scenario to prove my point (with a weak argument).
Me: Holly Ninja! I never said that...
The whole point was how, this time, Meehan and Subban had all the leverage and there's little MB could have done to win his points. They are all rights in theirs perspectives. This is a simple negotiation process where's one side simply has upper hand on the other.
The length of the contract was never really a subject. There were some speculations here and there on Subban wanted a shorter to maximize his next one but nothing in the past until this point showed Subban was against the Max length.
Any saint adviser on economic subject will tell you to aim for the guarantee money and not the most optimistic scenario which is controlled, influenced by numbers of unknown events, risks etc. I can hardly believe that a real issue was in play on the term. If it ever was, it was simply because we couldn't agree on a money value. Max contract makes sense for both sides.
'un tiens vaut mieux que deux tu l'auras'
I will end it here because, I know, it could be anything. Maybe I will talk to Subban next time he's in town when we have our charity events at chez Parée. Until that day, we are both right and wrong

Go Seadogs!
EXACTLY!! Subban's camp obviously was asking for a crazy amount and the 9AAV is the actual "middle ground" number. It made MB look really bad in these negotiations, and the main reason is because of the media and their "sources" that had the numbers all wrong. Good job MB! Glad to have PK back. My wife is a HUGE leafs fan and her fav defenceman is PK..that says alot to me.

So, MB handled this entire thing properly? From bridge deal to now? Really? It's the media?
Not surprised. People like to look at the end result and that's it. PK is signed, therefore, MB was masterful in his ability to engineer a wonderful deal!

All credit to the GM and none to the players and coaching staff?
Not saying he should take all the credit but if the GM can't be assessed on his team's performance, what can he be judged on? His suit?
