Subban will have the highest cap-hit, but his 72M contract is significantly lower than Suter's 98M contract and especially Weber's 110M contract, so I wouldn't say he's the highest paid defenseman at all.
Thanks. Exactly the analysis i was looking for. Contract is reasonable under the new CBA (max 8 years) vs other high calibre blue liners.
