He wasn't worth 5 x 10 prior to the bridge deal.
And if Subban was interested in an $8m x 4 deal now, the contract would already be signed, IMNSHO.
I'm not saying the Habs are taking the right strategy here. But I am saying that the $8.5 million Subban asked for in arbitration isn't his end game. It's merely a step up.
