The Habs must lock him up. And you gotta believe Subban has the upper hand.

Obviously. All the cards are in his hands now, he can just keep pushing to UFA if he wishes. Bergevin has really fucked himself over here, and if he tries to move him, his value will diminish because of all this fiasco.

 

[Merguson]

I thought not being able to trade the player is only for matching offer sheets.

 

[Red_Man]

Sorry, I'm wrong. I think it's he can't be signed until January 1st. I've been up since yesterday morning, running on fumes.

 

[ShaneB]

Wow at the Subban news (or lack thereof), crazy to think the Habs wouldn't lock him up.

Is there a pre-teen white girl convention in Toronto today? There are literally packs of them roaming the streets everywhere.

I saw something on the news while in the lunchroom that sounded like a band was in town with lots of girls screaming. That might be it.

Hi friends. I've been in Jamaica for the last week.

Currently in Montego Bay waiting for my flight.

Red man, Solo I'm here for you guys. I give out excellent hugs!

The hell? You've been on my back the entire time, you silly cat.

Anaheim won a cup with the clever "have three #1 dmen, two of them first ballot HOFers in their prime" method. Not sure why more teams don't copy it.

That was pretty effective. Almost 100% of the time Pronger or Niedermayer was out there. During crunch time both of them. Plus our thugs with skill mentality. Roughing all the teams up. Commit 30 penalties, only 8 at most get called.

Totally going to that game.

 

[Calamari41]

Totally going to that game.

I'll be there too.

And Jesus, Montreal, just fucking pay Subban. Why the hell would you play games? Makes me appreciate the Samuelis even more.

Write the god damn check.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Totally going to that game.

I'll be there with a buddy of mine. He's a duck fan.

 

[Marvie_3]

Subban would look fucking awesome in a Hawks jersey.

 

[Sanjuro]

Racist!

Dem feels man.

 

[Curufinwe]

The Subban situation totally baffles me.

Gross.

Shit's gonna be off the chain.

Dastardly, you should fly out. We can all hug and cry.

And Heretic can hand out those Teemu posters in person.

We can drive by Teemu's and look at the food

 

[StylesClash]

So how do we get Subban to St. Louis? Lol

 

[Socreges]

Racist.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Tarasenko+Oshie maybe?

 

[Solo]

Let's be honest, I don't see anyway way that Subban isn't playing for the Habs this year. They are gonna try their hardest, again, to get this guy locked up so they'll accept the arbitration award whatever it is.

Honestly can't imagine him playing for another team.

Edit: Wait, isn't there a clause saying that he CAN'T be traded if it comes to that? I think I remember something like that with Weber. Could be wrong.

I feel Subban will be a Hab for the entirety* of the 2014-2015 season. But beyond that? Eh.......



*unless he makes it clear before then he intends to go UFA and we can bend over a Cup chasing team at the trade deadline.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

I want to hug the Teemu banner as it goes up to the rafters.

TEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Shit's gonna be off the chain.

Dastardly, you should fly out. We can all hug and cry.

LA Fan wants to go to California on holiday funny enough.

PLAAAYY MYYY CARRRDS RIIIIGHT

If we indeed do lose PK, these are my 2 best memories:

- The greatest ass hip check of all PK's ass hip checks, on Marchand in 2010
- Goal out of the penalty box in Game 3 against Boston in 2014. I can't believe I was in the building for this. Best sporting thing I've ever witnessed in the flesh

:_(

 

[shadowkat]

I just don't understand why Montreal has let it go to this. It's baffling.

 

[Solo]

I just don't understand why Montreal has let it go to this. It's baffling.

Even moreso when you consider he played the best hockey OF HIS CAREER in the Boston series.

 

[zroid]

In my mind the most logical situation is Subban really doesn't want term because he thinks whatever the Habs are willing to give him this year will only increase next year. But the rumours/leaks seem to negate this so it's pretty baffling.

 

[Solo]

Based on 2012, don't be surprised if Subban puts up career best numbers and maybe wins another Norris out of spite.

 

[lamaroo]

This must be what it feels like being a southern team. Always worried about losing talent because of money, except that shouldn't be a problem for this team.

Fuck I'm so pissed.

 

[Coldnoodle]

I just saw this.

:lol

Also, PK doesn't look right in Toronto colours:

Playing hardball with Subban keeps him hungry and stops him from becoming like Rocky at the beginning of Rocky III.

that's racist bro

 

[Razorskin]

Subban's a switch hitter apparently

Is there anything he can't do?

Play the white way

 

[Razorskin]

Therrien will push to trade Subban for Letang straight up.

 

[Solo]

You'd have to think if Bergevin can't sign Subban next year it will cost him his job.

 

[Samyy]

Or ownership agrees with him

Then Molson should fire himself. The thing about PK isn't just hockey. He brings in so much revenue in other areas too - jerseys, merch, etc. He's the poster boy of the franchise now. I go to Habs games every year, and every year, Subban jerseys dominate and PK gets bar far the biggest pp from the audience. To let him go would be to piss off an entire fanbase royally. This isn't the first time the Habs, who aren't short on cash, have stiffed a superstar player either. Shit's frustrating.

I think teams like the habs and leafs work like they are the hottest shit. Both teams approach RFAs like they are UFAs. We get great players from drafts by accident and they do their best to drive them into the ground. Both teams do embarrassing shit.

What star player from the last 30 years from either team retired with their team with dignity?

I think the brashness causes more problems than it fixes, tbh.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Anaheim will gladly trade Sbisa for Subban. We'll gather all the good young black players. Except fatty from the Jets

[SmackCrackleNPop]

I'll believe it when I see Sbisa committing dumb penalties for Vancouver

And yes I remember. I don't know who to choose as the new guy to pick on. Bryan Allen?
