Here's what he got:
2 x 2.875 = 5.75M
8 x 9.000 = 72.0M
Total, over 10 years of $77.75M, or $7.775M per season

Subban's contract, like O'Reilly's, was purposely backloaded due to the lockout. His actual deal looks like this:
1 x 2 = 2 (pro-rated to 1M)
1 x 3.75 = 3.75
8 x 9 = 72
Total, over 9.5 years of actually being paid of 76.75M

Following similar logic, his contract would have looked something like this:
1 x 4 = 4 (pro-rated to 2M)
7 x 7.4 = 52M
2 x 10 = 20M
Total of 74M.
However, no one was talking about an 7M contract for Subban. That's pure history revision. It's absurd. He was an offensive defenseman with a career high 38 points...a total of 76 points in the NHL.
He broke out in the first year of his bridge contract putting up nearly a point per game, followed up with a 53 point season.
Realistically his actual earnings would have look something like:
1 x 3 = 3 (pro-rated to 1.5M)
7 x 5.9= 41
2 x 10 = 20
64M
