Maybe not but 8-9 is probably pretty fair based on the new deals coming out and he will easily see it from many teams around the league. Your better off overpaying by a million or so and keeping him than letting him go. Again just watching him play these playoffs I think he's one of those special players who can put a team on his back.

Actually, the Patrick Kane comparison is poor because you are forgetting context. Kane doesn't get $10.5 million by himself. He gets it because of the "twin effect" with Toews. So unless the Habs are actually looking to sign Subban's defensive partner to a similar contract because the pair are so important to the franchise, then the comparison is not particularly valid.
