After this specific line, I don't think I can take you seriously anymore.
He was forced to take 5.75m dollars, poor guy. He had offersheets available to him, but he wanted to play here. PK is an adult who makes his own decisions, and PK has an agent who does this for a living.
PK decided not to sign any offersheets because he wanted to stay. It was his
choice. You act as if he was forced, as if is family was being held captive
We're talking about a millionaires here, boohoo a 25 year old guy had to wait two years before making 6m+ a year, and had to take 5.75m
(lol) as a compensation, when meanwhile, he's going to get more money now as a result of that bridge deal and proving himself even more.
Did PK fire his agent? Did PK publicly state he was mad at management, or that he should have gotten more money? No, because PK is an RFA, the league has rules, and MB was well within his right to offer any sort of deal he wants. PK had options and he
decided to choose that offer over holding out for better or signing an offersheet.
Key words are decision, decided, chose, choice, etc. He wasn't forced to do anything, and next time somebody "forces" me to sign a deal worth 5.75m dollars over the course of two years, I'll give you a call when I'm down on myself for being "forced" to accept such a deal.
The only person who should give it a rest here is you. This is the way the league works if you don't like it go whine to Bettman about it, don't blame MB for smartly making it so he can lock Subban in for an extra 2 years down the line.
