Why give him any more than the 3 million for the bridge contract.... Until the KHL offers him more or Jay Feaster shows up some place and offers him an offer sheet there is no other place he can play.
They want him long term..... If he is just setting up to get the huge long-term UFA deal then he has to take on the risk. Getting more than the 6M for teh two years takes away the risk and still would give him a shot at the 9-10M UFA contract.
PK Subban signed a 2 year bridge contact for 5.5M. He took the risk and now is reaping the reward.
2013-14 Johansen is a great young player but 2011-12 Subban was a clear #1 d-man for the Habs.
