not that i completely disagree with you, but hard not to say that kane is probably a top8 forward in the NHL. Subban is right around there as far as dmen go.
so if the new CBA gives the elite players 10+ million, why is subban not worthy of being in that conversation? 8-9 million seems more than reasonable.
The only debate i think is whether the habs want to pay him his true worth when his UFA time kicks in, and try to get a better deal till then. The problem with that is subban has already shown in the past 2 years that he's reached the point of deserving that contract now. He's won a norris, followed it up with another solid year and more importantly, a deep playoff run. What exactly is he supposed to do over the next 2 seasons to show he is worth top 8 dmen in the league pay in the new economic structure of the NHL?
