But really: The price is player friendly, and the term is team friendly. That seems fair for a young d-man who has shown that he is a total stud. Edited August 3, 2014 by That Aud Smell Quote
LTS Posted August 3, 2014 Report Posted August 3, 2014 Here goes the NHL again.. player salaries are jumping up tremendously. They got themselves in trouble before with this. Insane. They better hope their growth continues because if that cap number doesn't keep going up there are going to be some teams with delicate budgets. No way Subban is worth $9MM. Just can't get there at all. He's good, potentially will be great but not $9MM great. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted August 3, 2014 Report Posted August 3, 2014 Elite players will get higher yearly salaries because of the limits on contract length. Just have to get used to seeing it. And yes, Subban is an elite defenseman. I can't list 5 defenders who are clearly better. Quote
wjag Posted August 3, 2014 Report Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) That there is, I say that there is a fleecing pulled off in Montreal. I bet there are a lot of NHLers that want a new contract this morning. Edited August 3, 2014 by wjag Quote

The system is designed to try to maintain a 5% revenue growth rate and since the full season lockout it's averaged above that. With the new Rogers TV deal, it might initially go up even quicker than that. If the cap is $80MM in '17-'18, the deal will not be as outrageous as it looks on 1st glance. (A 5% growth rate would put the cap at $97MM in the deal's last year.) Quote

It's possible. That's at least 6-8 years away though. And official max salary of $16MM will likely be here in ~3 yrs. Edited August 3, 2014 by Taro T Quote

These are his second round of blood clots. He might need life long anti-coagulation. At the very least he will need nine months for the clots in his lungs. Quote
