Habs re-sign Emelin; 4 years, $16.4M

As long as his knee recovers, this should be a good deal.

The Russian development program has been investing heavily in this guy, they fully expect him to develop into one of their national team's studs.

I'm sure the posters saying "never pay a guy based on potential" are the exact same posters saying "never pay for what a guy did in the past, pay for what he'll do going forward".

That's kind of a lot of money for him.

I don't think it affects Subban at all though, they're not comparables. Subban was already going to be cashing in this go-round. I'm thinking 8 years 58 million.
