Subban is signed!

Give him a few practices and Montreal will be even better!
Two year deal at about 2.875 million per year.
Another good move by Bergevin sticking to his guns and not giving in to PK!

Subban lost a ton of leverage with the play of Markov and Diaz. Good for Bergevin.

He also lost 250K per year based on that rate. Bergevin looks stingy. Perhaps just donning the Bleu, Blanc, Rouge itself will become appealing again.

Sooooo happy about this! I bet Therrien will make him work to earn his PP ice time...

This will come back to haunt Bergevin and the habs management after this 2 year deal expires.

Not exactly true. Next year is a full season and he will make a full 3.75 million. He is only getting $2 million for this pro-rated season.

Capeesh..... I keep forgetting it's almost February.

He ended up with more than the 5.1 Million Montreal offered, he did well.

That is for two years, not per year. Mainly Montreal want him to proove he his the player he claim to be as last season while he played a lot of minute per match, it was not his best season. Also Bergevin did have 2 defenseman doing well on the ice, so his return will not be maybe like he saw it. Let hope Therien can handle well and make him the leader he need to become. I think Therien can do this. Today he started to skate so soon we should see him on the ice.
