Time to Sign Subban

[ZARTONK]

This is a top priority right now for the habs, both sides will have to reach an agreement ASAP!

 

[Et le But]

There better be a clause in his contract to stop him from tweeting about the #joel

 

[LyleOdelein]

Bergevin should send Subban a copy of Carlson's contract with the names changed.

 

[Pierre Dagenais]

agree. that **** is lame and annoying.

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

He needs to sign yesterday!

 

[ZARTONK]

yeah, that got old really fast

 

[Monctonscout]

2 years 8 mil

Trade him to sportsnet permanently for Kypreos. We need an enforcer, right ?

 

[David_99]

Theoretically, what happens if they can't sign him by camp? Can they not negotiate after that? Is he automatically forced to sit out the year or something?

No, they can reach an agreement anytime. (Kinda like Turris last year)

I don't know about that.

Traditionally for RFA's it was they had to sign by Dec.1 if they wanted to play but I have no idea what the rules will be for RFA's this year.

You are right, I forgot about that rule. My bad.

 

[Mathradio]

$3.75M per for 2 years if it had to be a 2-year deal.

 

[Mr. Hab]

Don Meehan is Subban's agent, right?
(the greediest agent, no? *gulp*).

Wish it was possible to make the playoffs AND get a top 5 pick!! (without trading for it!).

 

[Blind Gardien]

1 or 2 years $4-5M, fine, whatever. They probably can't figure out the longer term deal in time, and if the Habs don't have the faith to go past the bridge term, fine, they'll probably end up paying for it down the road, but that's their call. Just do what it takes to get him in camp and ready to go.

 

[Myron Gaines*]

Top priority in Bergevin's list.

 

[Andy]

Hopefully they don't low ball him again.

 

[Habruti!]

They should, he thinks he is greather then the game...

He was pretty good these last 2 years and became our top defenceman. I think he's entitled to negociate what's best for him.

 

[Phil Parent]

He needs to be signed for a long-time, not sure why Bergevin would sign him short-term and risk him costing us much more in 2 years.

 

[vokiel]

They better sign him today or tomorrow. Just give him Gorges money for 2-3 years, why does it have to be more complicated?

They can't sign him until the CBA is ratified. Which is probably Tuesday.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Definitely a top priority.

I still say he comes in around 4-4.5M on a 4-5 year deal and about 3.5-4M on anything 2 yrs or less.

 

[Myron Gaines*]

I don't understand either, but my only explanation is this: 'Cause Price didn't ge this long term contract right away.

Bah, just draft the piece of paper already, make him sign, then send the thing to the league after the CBA is ratified.. no big deal.
