Is also what I thought of.
Next year he will come to Philly with Babby. We will use our magic "Cap Room" to sign them both.
All according to keikaku.
Subban has all the power now, and frankly this makes Bergevin look really bad. He hammered Subban down to the 2 year bridge deal in 2012 with the promise of the big contract after if he performed. Well, all he did was have 2 great seasons, win the Norris, and have an amazing playoffs. Now it's time for the Habs to make good, and what are they doing? Hedging.

Don't worry, Letang is French, he'll feel right at home in Montreal after the Pens trade for Subban.
So apparently arbitration is
90 mins of one party's case
90 mins of the other party's case
15 minute rebuttal from one party
15 minute rebuttal from other party
In Subban's case, the first 90 min session is done, whether that was Subban or Montreal.
So we won't hear anything at all for about another 2 hours.

Please don't mention those two in the same sentence again.
We will give you Luke Schenn and a 3rd for him.

Just out of curiosity, how hated would PK be in Montreal if he did go to Toronto in free agency?
Look at how hated komisarek was and he sucked!
Makes the Habs look really bad. Haggling with their franchise d-man, why didn't they just sign him long term. So stupid.
..... maybe he was asking for too much?
My gut feeling is that Subban's time in Montreal is effectively over unless Bergevin can sign him to 8 years before the arbitrator has made his decision. There's been too much pull back from management regarding Subban, and he's done everything they've asked of him and more. If they're still not willing to give him whatever he wants now, they never will be, and although he keeps a smile on all the time, you know deep down he wants to be the most important guy, and he wants that respect.
It's different circumstances, I hope most Habs fans wouldn't be angry. This is a result of coaching and management here. Any other GM would have had him locked up for 10 years on the previous contract signing. PK's gotta take care of PK.Just out of curiosity, how hated would PK be in Montreal if he did go to Toronto in free agency?
A Habs beat writer said that his starting point in negotiations was $10 M. I think that's fine as a starting point, but if he was asking for an AAV of $9-9.5 M then I could see the issue, but I don't really see him going there.
After Subban leaves its going to be Tom Gilbert.
Can his name forever be Brolieau? That's amazing.
When you Google it, it implies that you mean Brolio, which may be even better.
He comes off kind of like Mike Green and some fans started calling him that after him and his dad got charged for getting in that fight last summer :lol
Likewise. Big dollar, max term, you deal with the rest later. He's irreplaceable.
This is my understanding as well.

Yes, spend all the money so they can't afford Tavares.
Though by then, the cap could be 200M, maybe we should just extend him for the next 15 years. What could go wrong?
Preds go to arb with Weber, he signs with Philly
Avs piss of O'Reilly, he signs with Calgary
Subban.......signs with Toronto
We don't have our 2015 2nd
It will cost even more then. You shouldn't be cheap with your franchise player.
Plus he could wait another year for UFA status.
That's not the point as Solo pointed out they kept Subban in check 2 years ago and he proved he's worth the big cash by winning the Norris and being their top guy. If they offered him anything less than $8M it's a slap in the face. I'm sure they could have gotten a long term deal done in the $8.5 range, not like they have cap issues to hold them back.
That doesn't make any sense, they have the cap this year, and they don't have any other big names / holes to fill, and like Lamaroo said, he'll just cost more. The only reason I can see Bergevin playing such hard ball is because A.Gally, B. Gally, Bournival, Beaulieu, and Tinordi are all RFA's next season, and he wants as much wiggle room for them as possible.
I hope Subban's case was a 90 minute video of him driving his Lambo.
