Tough to believe Subban doesnt comfortably sit right in there... I would wager a guess as to 5 years at 7.0

Weber's and Suter's cap hits are only that low because they're front-loaded deals that can no longer be signed. Their actual salaries are both over $10 million for the first few years.
At some point, there will be a correction to bring the salaries on the new deals in line with the old. I don't know if Subban will be the one whose contract does that, but it certainly could be.
Phaneuf's new 7 year/$7 million AAV deal kicks in next year. I can't see Subban signing for less than that. I expect him to sign for 8 years, between $8 and $9 million AAV.
