Elliot Friedman is reporting he's hearing PK will sign with the Habs - for 4 years $6M AAV.
I'm thinking he's got it wrong and it's $6M over the 4 years, so $1.5M a year. No way anyone is paying PK $6M a year and certainly not HuGo
Very reasonable at $1.5M and I think he'd fit in with the current crew, and he has matured a lot altho obviously not as impactful. He will get a chance to fulfill his dream of hoisting a Cup wearing a Habs jersey in the last two years of his contract, even as a third pairing.
I'm very happy if it's $1.5M.

*rolls a hundred dollar bill and does 6 lines to numb the pain* There will be some pain for some. Mrs Habsorbed was saying earlier tonight that trading PK was the worst thing Habs ever did. I reminded her she has a Shea Weber jersey. After some discussion, we're going to sew a 7 on beside the 6. Can't figure out how to turn "Weber" into "Subban". Is anyone good at crossword. The PK transition will be difficult for people.  |

In his zeal to infuse character into the team, Bergie traded away a guy, who while he appears flamboyant and self centred, has a lot of good intrinsic values. We are short on RD and is he any worse than David Savard? His legs aren't fast enough for the new NHL, but he still has a fast brain and his transition game is still very good. Perfect for a 3rd pair guy where the $1.5MM salary places him. He wont affect our drive for Bedard, but insulates the kids somewhat, giving them time. Great P.R. move too. I'm surprised. but I love it. Take it easy on the lines, Cranky.  My coke is coming out of a can. |

If it's 1.5 I'm ok with that although the term is a bit long. We all know he's not the same guy that left in 2016 so I don't think expectations will be that high. Do you have any links? I cant find anything. I thought it might be coming after I read this article. ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/should-the-montreal-canadiens-bring-back-pk-subban-174813367.html |

Bgal and PK did not mix, so what's changed? Is bGal going somewhere?

I was a big Subban fan during his years with the club. But I think his game is just so far from what it is used to be. And the term involved in this deal is certainly too long.

I’m not seeing anything on Twitter about this, even on friedman’s feed. Source? I can’t imagine any GM in their right mind handing out 4 years to subban given his injury history, age and trajectory. I’d take him on a one year deal.

Friedman has since deleted his tweet - read what you will into that. It was identical to that of 'Alex'. So I've added a question mark to the title of this thread. But to keep thing stirred up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tScmL79Ku4U |

I saw the post below on twitter... not reliable Does anyone in their right mind think Subban could command 6 million a season, even for just one year? Friedman should be embarrassed for even putting that number out there. |

Friedman should be embarrassed for even putting that number out there. That was my immediate thought when I read Freidman's tweet, and thought it must be $6M over the 4 years, as I posted in my initial post starting this thread. But this does not reflect well on Friedman. Firstly posting a rumour like this from Alex; and secondly, not recognizing that it can't be accurate given the $6M per year claim. Does Friedman actually follow hockey or does he just post crap he sees on the internet and refer to them as "sources"? |

Even if it’s for $1.5 million a year it would be a dum-dum move. And not because of PK’s play, but because we’d be adding 1.5 million when we are trying desperately to shed 5 million for salary cap purposes

Maybe it came from a Friedman imposter account? My impression is that he’s a reputable source that holds himself to a high standard of journalistic integrity. |

The 4 year term was a red flag. I could see 2 years, and I'd love that as it's just enough time for the kids to really develop. Four is too long.

1 or 2 years at most. It would be fun to see him play the Bruins in Habs jersey again.

Pur defense is a joke that needs time to develop, so why bring anyone into improve it? Not that PK is much of an improvement.
Unless we want a circus to go along with the pain OR Price needs a supporting teddy bear....PASS

Where's the money going to come from ... projected cap space stands at $248,334 and Kent Hughes also needs to sign Kirby Dach ... Cheers. |

Except for maybe Gally, they are not part of this team's future in two years when we will be competitive. I think PK can help this team over the next 3 or 4 years; especially at $1.5 which is only a fraction of what the others I named are earning thanks to MB. |

I'd like PK back on the roster, not because he'd make a huge difference, but just to tick off Bergevin. I'm still really angry at the state of the team he left for Gorton and Hughes. He's so much the son of the guy who builds up the company, takes it over, runs it into the ground and never faces the scorn he deserves.
Signed
Still Pi$$ed over 5 lost years.

I share your sentiments but can't help but see the irony that it wasn't actually MB that lost us 5 years but it was the decision of the actual "son of the guy who builds the company". |
