Why do they keep agitating their best player?

My guess is that Subban's number on a long-term deal that foregoes at least a couple years of UFA availability must be truly astronomical.

They are fighting a battle they are going to lose, IMO. And the only thing they accomplish is to piss off their best player.

I'm sure you're right, but from the Habs perspective, if what I suggested above is true, then they are rightly frustrated by the fact that they have no power in this negotiation. If Subban is asking for $9.0 m on a long-term deal, do you believe that the Canadiens should just concede and sign?
