yet the same media you quote as saying subban will get a massive deal, say that bolland will get paid too.

so which is it?
- sensarmy_11

What media says Bolland is in for a big payday? The most recent talk is the Leafs are only interest at a reasonable price.

Bolland is a broken-down UFA. You can't even compare him to a PK Subban. Bolland will not get 6-8 years from anyone,. Guaranteed.

subban is gonna get pretty much the same deal that karlsson and pietrangelo got....especially when you consider that he hasn't been as good this year as he was last year.

he'll get 7-8 years, and between 6.5-7.

your claims of 8-9 mil are just stupid.
- sensarmy_11

Ok I'm going to bump this when he signs. He will not get 6.5 million.

And BTW, you keep claiming I'm saying "The Media". This is 100% my opinion that Subban will get around 8 million+ per.
When did I say the media in regards to PK Subban? It's common sense the guy is going to get a massive contract.

Funny you mention that... because if you remove the last 4 years that he likely won't play anyways, that are only there to cut down his cap hit... his cap hit would be just over 10 million. In fact, if you take it one step further, and look at only the first 8 years, the maximum allowable under the current CBA, he'd be at 11.5M/ year.

Look at the other big name d-man that re-signed this year... Dan Girardi... 5.5M

I'd pay 1.5M to upgrade from Dan Girardi to Phaneuf, any day.
- Feeling Glucky?

agree to disagree then, cuz i dont' think phaneuf is an upgrade over girardi. i'd put them in about the same category.

phaneuf a little better offensively, girardi considerably better in his own end.

- RogerRoeper

yes, and we all know that the leafs only ever pay a reasonable price for players.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Bolland get around 5 million. Someone will pay it. Will it be the leafs? and will it be for 6-8 years? I don't know.

No chance for 6-8 years. People can bring up Clarkson all they want, but Clarkson was 100% healthy.

There may be differences in the players unique contract situations and particulars. Personally I think it may be more likely Ryan is moved in the next two years than Kadri.

However in terms of faulting teams for things that haven't happened, they're qualitatively the same thing.
- Morris

Sure. Then I'll rephrase. The overwhelming odds are that Bobby Ryan will likely be gone in a year. That is fully up to Bobby Ryan. Kadri and Gardiner are Leaf property unless otherwise decided by the Leafs. End of story.

Phaneuf was great defensively all year and played much tougher minutes than anyone in the entire NHL.

what has subban done to warrant more money than karlsson or pietrangelo?

The cap is going way up. That's why.

You don't seem to get that. When Doughty signed his deal, 6.5 million per was seen as outrageous. Salaries keep going up.

really, you keep claiming he played harder mintues then ANYONE in the league. please provide evidence for this.

every time you see an analyst break down phaneufs game, they're always showing his defensive mistakes.....he sure does seem to make a lot of them.

the cap isn't going up anywhere CLOSE to enough to make subban earn 2-3 mil more than guys like karlsson, pietrangelo, and doughty.

but by all means, repost this when he signs his deal. it will be fun to throw it in your face.

the guy gets benched fairly regularly (given his status on the team), and is rarely supported publicly by his coach or gm alike. they've already shown they're more than willing to play hardball with him................so why on earth would they cave, and make him the highest paid d-man in teh league, as an RFA.

your logic is incredible.

Not as much as predicted with Canadain dollar sinking. PK may get 7 at most.

Yeah I don't see 6-8 with the leafs, but it wouldn't surprise me to see NYI make a splash on a really long term contract.

They played hardball with him because he was RFA. they can't do that next time or he walks.

And the "Hardball" routine blew-up in their face

They could have signed him for the 6.5 million per you claim he'll get. No chance that occurs now.

Still had what, 30 goals less against while on the ice compared to Karlsson.

- RogerRoeper

Girardi's one of the most solid defensive dmen in the league. An absolute workhorse.

But he's also been ridden too hard imo. Can't average 24 minutes and play 30 minutes a night 10 times a year and block hundreds of shots and not have it take a toll. He may find his way into Volchenkov territory soon. Not that the Rangers care with the D core they've got together.

Yeah I don't see 6-8 with the leafs, but it wouldn't surprise me to see NYI make a splash on a really long term contract.
- Morris

If he did not get inured, sure. I can't see it now to be honest. I think the Clowe/Clarkson/Horton deals won't be repeated from last season.

All of Dion's stats are very good. and that's with his poor play the past two weeks. His +/- was terrific.

Yeah Phaneuf got a really unfair assignment this year. People never seem to pay attention to these things, and then dismiss them as "fancy stats" when you bring them up as a reason that a player is battling all season to stay above the water.

When really, short of being fancy stats, watching the game and seeing who's on the ice in what situation is the simplest frigging thing in the world.

The cap is going up as much as reported originally. It'll be 7 million more next season.

link or u making it up? Pk being benched every 2nd game doesn't help his cause.
