Buy him out.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Leave him on Sportsnet

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Well he can't play without a contract so ya something needs to get done before camp for him

Even if we don't have the most talented team, it will be fun to watch the habs lose this season.

This draft is looking awesome, ill be happy with playoffs or another top pick

Take as long as you need P.K. Shouldn't have held out to begin with. He'll make less now for even less years I'm sure.

Why the sarcastic face ?

 

[Natey]

Yeah, seems like a bad move from Subban to hold out. He'll probably get a max of $4M now with the lowered salary cap.

 

[Steve Shutt]

I don't think he was holding out about the money - he was after a long term contract and more years than the Habs were offering.

Anyways - he won't be in camp until a deal is done so this needs to be Bergevin's #1 priority. I would like to assume that he was already meeting with PK's agent during the lockout and it will just be a matter of signing the dotted line when the new CBA is finalized.

Look who's back

So much for "I'm done with the NHL"!

That avatar is effin creepy.

 

[LaTenderness*]

Pay him fast

 

[Sterling Archer]

I'm sure there will be a flurry of signings and trades the second the CBA is ratified. GMs will probably start making calls today and work through the season on filling out and switching around their roster.

Good news is they have 2 compliance buyouts over the next 2 years to help out with. Should be a lot of FAs out there.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

I love the posters who insist that Bergevin needs to make this 'priority #1' as if they can actually envision a scenario where PK's agent keeps calling Bergevin but he can't be bothered to answer because he's too busy trying to find a better glass replacement crew or something.

I am in the sense that I won't be buying tickets, merch, or anything that supports the NHL financially for at least this year, maybe longer.

But the Spengler Cup and World Juniors has me too hyped up on hockey. Had a deal not happened within days of that ending, I may have sung a different tune.

Also doesn't help that I can't see my Wolves play (they used to show the Championship on SportsNet World online but not anymore) and they are probably going to get relegated even further - so I can't really watch Football to take hockey's place like I planned.

 

[No More Subban]

Yes. Definitely time to sign PK. Yes, he gives us headaches sometimes but It'll hurt us more/come back to bite us if we get rid of him.

 

[habdynasty]

This deal will be signed soon.

 

[Coldplay]

4-year, 18 million I'd be fine with at this point, even if I don't think he's earned it.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Bergy already all but said they are going to stand firm on it being a 2 year deal.

 

[SnapVirus]

If i am Pk Subban i'd fire my agent and hire Don Fehr.

 

[Natey]

Maybe we can just trade him to Edmonton for Eberle.
